3D GIS system architecture for the aircraft simulation route of Search And Rescue operation

This documentation explains the architecture for aircraft simulation route of Search And Rescue (SAR) operations. This system provides functions for user as client (the SAR team in this case) for accessing map data onto GIS server throughout computer networking. Server provides clients with the map to create aircraft simulation route adjusted to earth 3 dimensions. Map data information and aircraft simulation route from its take-off up to latest position monitored on the radar are accessible online via computer networking. This simulation enables SAR team to determine the aircraft searching operation area suppose a flight accident happened. GeoServer is the GIS server that stores map data and provides clients with the requested information by applying Web Map Service (WMS) protocol. This protocol is the standardized map services by Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). 3D map required the raster files which contained with elevation information in Digital Elevation Model (DEM) form.
