Abstract

An approach is provided for calculating a payload survivability estimate and generating aerial routes based on the payload survivability estimate. The approach, for example, involves processing data, such as map data representing the geographic area to identify at least one map feature, at least one material corresponding with the at least one map feature, or a combination thereof. The payload survivability estimate can be based on real-time data, historical data, or a combination thereof. The approach also involves generating a map data layer of a geographic database based on the payload survivability estimate. The approach further involves providing the map data layer as an output.
