Abstract :
The author describes the modular translator display system (MTDS), a prototype system that is being developed to translate and display data from multiple tactical links. It is designed to be portable, modular, adaptable to existing systems, and extensible to future systems. The MTDS is a multiphase development whose design is object-oriented and utilizes multiple database objects to manage generalized track objects for link-to-link translations. Its database objects are implemented through the use of tailorable hashing functions that are capable of access times of the order of 1 μs for MTDS Phase I DOS platforms
