Multi-spectral tactical integrated scene generation capability using satellite imagery

A multi-spectral tactical integrated scene generation capability using satellite terrain imagery is currently available using a synthetic predictive simulation code developed by the Munitions Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/RWGGS). This capability produces multi-spectral integrated scene imagery from the perspective of a sensor/seeker for an air-to-ground scenario using geo-referenced U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) and satellite terrain imagery. The produced imagery is spatially, spectrally, and temporally accurate. Using surveillance flight path and viewing angle, this capability has been interfaced with Microsoft Virtual Earth to extract terrain data of interest at the needed background resolution.
