16 Data Management Overview of NGA Data Most Major Military Formats Supported Natively by ArcGIS These formats fall into the 2 categories of GIS data Raster Raster Product Format (RPF) Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) Vector Vector Product Format (VPF) VMAP 0, VMAP 1 File structure for these formats are very large Why Military Analyst? MA Catalogs simplify the data structure A collection point (one single layer) for all your Military Data Federal User Conference

17 Data Management Storage of RPF, VPF and DTED data Personal and File GDB DTED unmanaged RPF unmanaged VPF unmanaged ArcSDE GDB DTED managed RPF managed VPF unmanaged Unmanaged catalog data is stored in original location on disk Managed catalog data is stored in the geodatabase Federal User Conference
