Abstract :
An avionics simulation has been developed that interfaces directly to Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) mass storage systems, and specifically the Integrated Terrain Access and Retrieval System (ITARS) digital map. The system, known as the Robust Demonstration System (RDS) effectively demonstrates how ITARS digital terrain data could be used by aircraft of the future involving terrain-following, terrain avoidance, and SITAN avionics algorithms. The authors describe the ITARS/RDS system architecture, integration results, and areas of possible improvement
