Description
Summary:The Oceanographic Remotely Controlled Automaton (ORCA) is a prototype Naval hydrographic/oceanographic survey system operated from a mother ship. Measurements are radioed to a control station on the mother ship, logged, and displayed in real time. A decluttered and customized chart background was needed to expand situational awareness. This paper describes the adaptation of an existing government map application program to provide the needed map services to the ORCA control station.
