Abstract :
In February 1990, the defense mapping agency (DMA) opened the Warrior Support Center (WSC), a facility to orient warfighters, trainers, and supporting system developers on current and future mapping, charting, and geodetic (MC&G) products and their use in the modern combat environment. The facility provides developmental test and evaluation areas to bring service, unified and specified command, and intelligence users into MC&G product related concept and analysis activities earlier and to promote interoperability. The author presents an overview of the WSC and R&D activities planned at the WSC during 1991
