#21: Enhanced Terrain Processing

October 14, 2022 Christopher Kieffer Geospatial Research and Engineering 00:38:42 0 Comments

Soldiers are often forced to operate using outdated geospatial data that may not accurately represent current ground conditions. This creates challenges when trying to find the best possible routes for troop maneuvers or when selecting helicopter landing zones. The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is developing a series of tools to solve…
