The Defense Symbology component, available from the @luciad/ria-milsym
NPM package, provides support for several military standards, including MIL-STD-2525B,
MIL-STD-2525C, MIL-STD-2525D, APP-6A, APP-6B, APP-6C and APP-6D.
These standards define a symbol set that is used to plan and execute military operations in support of Command, Control, Communications,
Computers, and Intelligence (C4I)
functions.
The MIL-STD-2525 standards were developed by the United States Department of
Defense (DOD), while the APP-6 standards were developed by the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO).
As the APP-6 standards are partially derived from MIL-STD-2525A, they share many symbols.
The Defense Symbology component allows a LuciadRIA user to create MIL-STD-2525B, MIL-STD-2525C, MIL-STD-2525D, APP-6A, APP-6B, APP-6C and APP-6D symbols, and visualize them on a map.
