RadarMap: A Multi-Platformed Range Display Utility

Abstract

RadarMap is designed to take PCM-encoded radar data and process it to display the trace of radar targets on a map of the Eglin Test Range. Written in C, X Window, and OSF/Motif, RadarMap runs on a DECStation 5000/240 and utilizes the Loral Data Gathers C functions library to directly access PCM parameters from a Loral System 500 telemetry rack. X Window (a hardware-independent bitmapped graphics display system), OSF/Motif, and the Data Gathers libraries allow portability to other operating systems that support a C compiler and these libraries.
