| | Digital Terrain Analysis System (DTAMS) |
| | Primary Purpose | Mobile terrain analysis system for support of |
| | forward deployed units. Produces, in hardcopy |
| | and softcopy, special mapping products and |
| | geographic intelligence in support of MAGTF |
| | Commanders. |
| | Sub-Functions | Geographic Information System (GIS) collection |
| | and processing. Terrain analysis support for |
| | Intelligence Preparation of the Battlespace. |
| | Component of the topographic set fielded to each |
| | Topo Platoon in 1995. |
| | Equipment Requirements | The DTAMS is a stand-alone workstation with its |
| | own input, output, and mass storage capabilities. |
| | The DTAMS is the deployable workstation |
| | designed to support the MEU, MEFs, subordinate |
| | commands, and special-purpose MAGTFS. The DTAMS |
| | workstation will host one Winchester FlashDisk |
| | RAID with approximately 450 GB of storage. An |
| | 8-mm Mammouth tape, CD-RW, 250 MBZIP drive, and |
| | JAZ drive will provide data backup and archival |
| | storage. A 36-inch color scanner will provide |
| | scanning capability for the DTAMS. Each DTAMS |
| | will host one HP 1055CM plotter and a small |
| | format printer. An Ethernet switch will manage |
| | connectivity for the DTAMS. Each MEF Topographic |
| | Platoon will receive seven sets of this DTAMS |
| | configuration. |
| | Connectivity Requirements | LAN Network/SIPRNet |
| | Crypto Requirements | None. |
| | Normal Locations | Primary location: MEF Topographic Platoon. |
| | Attached to MEF G-2, MEU S-2, or GCE/ACE/CSSE |
| | G-2/S-2 when deployed. |
| | Information Managed | Provides geospatial intelligence for the MAGTF |
| | Commander throughout all phases of an operation. |
| | The system will supplement normal mapping, by |
| | preparing up-to-date map substitutes. It will |
| | exploit National Imagery and Mapping Agency |
| | (NIMA) geospatial data. |
| | Products Created | Special Mapping (enlargements/paneling) and |
| | geospatial intelligence for Intelligence |
| | Preparation of the Battlespace (IPB). |
| | Lead Service/Contractor | USMC/Litton-TASC |
| | Current Fielding Status | Fielding of the TGIL/DGIL/DTAMS to the MEFs is |
| | scheduled to be complete in the 3d quarter of FY |
| | 02 |
| | Known Problems | File format handshake with current Intel Systems. |
| | DIICOE Compliance Rating | Level 5 |
