Analysis of all known types of radar data is possible with Tactical Mapping. NTAP, CDR, STARS, PLOT PLAYBACK, RS3, COMDIG, REHOST, FASFACS, ERIT, F20. After importing the radar data it is displayed and can be animated and analyzed.

The mapping program has the ability to automatically identify the type of data that is being plotted. Simply tell the program to plot a file and it will determine the file's format and display it appropriately.

1. GPS and radar data: cdr, ntap, comdig, rit, e-rit, and other user defined data files are automatically plotted.
   

2. There are many derivations of radar data files. Tactical Mapping GIS Software has the ability to automatically identify and plot almost every known type of radar data file that is produced by the FAA and many military radar sites.
   

3. The software can be taught by the end user to plot new types of data and once taught; it will remember how to plot and analyze that type of radar data the next time it is encountered.
   

4. Radar site locations can be added to the program.
   

5. Terrain and coverage analysis of radar sites is also possible.
   

6. Analyze the radar data to determine speed, rate of climb,  and the relationship to nearby aircraft
   

7. Whether the radar data includes squawk code or just skin paints Tactical Mapping GIS Software can help you find and relate the targets in the radar data.
   

8. Assign aliases to targets. This allows the radar targets to behave as single tracks. Each radar target will then have a data block associated to it.
   

Overview of the Process of Analyzing a Radar Data File

1. Acquire NTAP radar data, CDR radar data, STARS radar data or other radar data type.
   

2. Display the track on the map
   

3. Filter out the data that you do not want based on time, altitude, area, squawk, etc.
   

4. Animate the track data so you can easily see related data
   

5. Click on data points to get speed, rate of climb, etc.
   

6. Export the data as a text file, Google Earth 3D file, dBase file or image file
   

7. Combine other data from other file types into a single file.
   

Tactical Mapping System is optimized to analyze huge data. The program can easily handle many millions of data points.

Animation of radar data

1. Multiple radar or GPS track files can be combined and displayed simultaneously on the screen. The files can contain data from any type of radar report (cdr, stars, ntap, comdig, rs3, fasfacs and user defined). The combined data in the file can then be animated across time.
   

2. Animate forward and backward.
   

3. Radar data (cdr, stars, ntap, comdig, e-rit, rit, fasfacs , rs3) can be combined with GPS data or other data relating to one or more aircraft. Post crash analysis of the data found in avionics equipment such as an onboard GPS or other similar equipment can often be simply plotted.
   

4. The program can be taught any new data type. So... think of the possibilities.
   

5. Radar data files that consisting entirely of skin paints can be easily reduced to single tracks; one for each aircraft.
   

3D Radar Track Analysis

3D analysis of the radar data is also possible. 3D Radar analysis is usually done as the final step in radar track analysis. Generally the large radar data files are viewed in 2D and extraneous targets are eliminated. After eliminating extraneous radar targets you are left with the radar targets of interest. This is the best point to see the radar data in 3D.
