Abstract
A computer controlled visual display system utilizing a complex set of inputs to develop a video display of a preselected terrain. The computer program utilizes three dimensional topographical data in combination with an aerial photograph to generate a series of images, each slightly difference from the previous one in the series, which, when displayed in the proper order, give the impression of proceeding along a predetermined flight path over a preselected terrain. The display can be used to brief pilots prior to a mission in order to familiarize the pilot with the terrain over which the mission will be flown.
