Abstract

This specification defines the requirements for the Defense Mapping Agency's (DMA) MC&G Video Discs and associated indexing database. <br>The purpose of this specification is to enable all elements engaged in production and maintenance programs for MC&G video disc products, to produce and maintain uniform standards of production. <br>The security classification of the products generated by the use of these specifications will be the lowest category practicable. What necessary to assign security classifications to the product, it will be accomplished in accordance with national security procedures. <br>DMA's MC&G video disc and database range in classification from UNCLASSIFIED to SECRET. The following defines security, control and release markings. <br>a. The first and last frames (see <a>6.3.18</a>) of each video disc (see <a>6.3.76</a>) shall be marked with the proper security classification and control release markings, per Defense Intelligence Agency Manual 65-19, Standard Security Markings, (DIA, Attn: RTS-2C, Washington, D.C. 20340) for the most highly classified material on the video disc. <strong><b>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.</b></strong> <br>This information shall be displayed the first time a video disc is accessed. Each image on a video disc map does not have to be so marked, since the classification will always appear on the computer system monitor whenever a map or map-related image is accessed. <br>b. Security markings (first and last frame) shall be used as follows: <br>(1) Unclassified video discs shall have a light green (DOD-MC&G printing color #54314 or equivalent color) background with the word "UNCLASSIFIED" printed in white across the center of the frame. <br>(2) Confidential video discs shall have a dark blue (DOD-MC&G printing color #46961 or equivalent color) background with the word "CONFIDENTIAL" printed in white across the frame. <br>(3) Secret video discs shall have a red (DOD-MC&G printing color #60853 or equivalent color) background with the word "SECRET" printed in white across the frame. <br>c. Confidential and secret frames shall also have printed in white the classification authority and declassification instructions, and control and release markings. Additional details on classification markings are provided in Defense Intelligence Agency Manual 65-19, Standard Security Markings. <br>d. The classification of an image on a video disc shall be displayed on the system display whenever its corresponding classified image is displayed on the video monitor. Proper safeguarding of the disc, related data, and reproduction, therefrom, are the responsibility of the user. <br>a. Whenever the map data files contain classified material, the following message shall be displayed on the system monitor: "The data contained on this diskette/tape is classified (security classification) and shall be treated as such." This information shall appear before accessing the classified data for the video disc; also on the screen is the security classification for the database information, the classifying authority, and downgrading instructions. <br>b. If a title, series, sheet number/sheet name itself is classified, then the characters (S), or (C) indicating "SECRET", or "CONFIDENTIAL", respectively, shall precede the first letter or number of the title, series, sheet number/sheet name. <br>c. The security classification of images from video discs shall be displayed on the system monitor whenever the images are displayed on the video monitor. <br>See Appendix B (Video Disc Product Style Sheets). <b><u>Intended Use:</u></b> MC&G Video Disc Products (see <a>6.3.78</a>) are designed to provide virtually instantaneous access of map and chart images. DMA video disc products are used as tools for the following purposes: (1) BRIEFINGS To support senior-level staff planning, command and control, and simulation systems, (2) UNDERLAYS To support the positioning of graphic overlay data superimposed over displayed map images, and (3) GEOGRAPHIC FEATURE POSITIONING To provide a means for establishing geographic feature positions quickly (in terms of latitude and longitude). Product use is based on the geographic coordinate system and supports spatial display of geographic information through the use of cartographic map projections. <br>
