3DTV
3D Terrain Visualization

This image contains a screenshot of the 3D Terrain Visualization (3DTV) application in which there is a first-person view of rolling hills textured with military raster imagery, clickable icons of units in the field, a overhead scrolling map inset marking the user's position and orientation, and a text area indicating the user's latitude and longitude. Also pictured is the hardened and ruggedized military system running the 3DTV application.

Developed a 3D terrain visualization capability integrated by Lockheed Martin into the digital Army Battle Command System (ABCS) that provides accurate line of sight and real-time unit locations on an optimally adapting mesh terrain overlayed with military terrain imagery and unit symbology.
