MIL-P-89305A

Abstract

a. This specifiction establishes the second edition of the military specification requirements for the Defense Mapping Agency's (DMA) Planning Terrain Analysis Data Base (PTADB) based on manual production and the capabilities of the Interim Terrain Data (ITD)/Planning Interim Terrain Data (PITD) production system. <br>b. The DMA Terrain Analysis Program is a dynamic program; consequently, this manual may not identify all necessary specifications encountered in the production of terrain analysis data bases. Supplementary instructions will need to be generated in areas that require modification of these specifications. <br>Conformance to these specifications will assure uniformity of treatment among all mapping and charting elements engaged in a coordinated production and maintenance program for this product. <br>The security classification of the products generated by the use of these specifications will be the lowest category practicable. When it is necessary to assign a security classification to the product, it will be accomplished in accordance with established national security procedures. <br>Beneficial comments (recommendations, additions, deletions) and any pertinent data which may be of use in improving this document should be addressed to: Director, Defense Mapping Agency, ATTN: PR, 8613 Lee Highway, Fairfax, VA. 22031-2137 by using the Standardization Document Improvement Proposal (DD Form 1426) appearing at the end of this document or by letter. <br>a. These specifications apply to all PTADBs produced by the Defense Mapping Agency and those produced for the Defense Mapping Agency as a result of either government contract or unit tasking. They are not applicable to rapid-response products. <br>b. For rapid-response products, the lineweights, length of dashes and spaces, and other dimensions shown in the specifications column of Appendix B - Symbols may be approximated. Lines may be delineated by fine, medium, or heavy lines and the overlays freehand lettered. <b><u>Intended Use:</u></b> PTADB is a product developed to satisfy the armed services requirements for a cartographic presentation of Terrain Analysis data at the planning scale. <br>
