GRAPHICAL SITUATIONDISPLAY (GSD)

• STANDARDIZES SYMBOLOGY - IT IS THE DE FACTO SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION OF MIL-STD 2525

• PROVIDES AN EASY TO INTERPRET GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF THE BATTLEFIELD IN A LAYERED MANNER (DISPLAYS ONLY THE INFORMATION YOU ARE INTERESTED IN)

• FACILITATES IMAGERY EXPLOITATION

  • TESTS INDICATE THAT IMAGERY EXPLOITATION WITH GSD IS QUICKER AND MORE EFFICIENT THAN TRADITIONAL METHODS
  • TRANSMISSION OF GSD DATA RATHER THAN SECONDARY IMAGERY SHOULD GREATLY REDUCE BANDWIDTH REQUIREMENTS

• GSD’S GRAPHICAL DISPLAY OF BATTLEFIELD INFORMATION REDUCES THE NEED TO MANUALLY SORT THROUGH COMPLEX TEXTUAL REPORTS
