FalconView Version Features


Chart Currency Capability

Printing Enhancements
CADRG, DAFIF and ECHUM currency status information is available on printouts.

NIMA DTED Support
FalconView now supports NIMA Level 1 DTED (that is, 100 meter DTED) in addition to the CMS 100 meter DTED that previous versions of FalconView supported.

New Overlays

  • Military Training Routes
  • Air Refueling Routes
  • Airways

CMS ADRG Is No Longer Supported
CMS ADRG is no longer being produced and does not support chart currency operations. You can remove existing CMS ADRG on your system from the Tools > Data Administration > Data Check menu item.

System Health Dialog
A System Health dialog displays the status of your CADRG chart currency information, DAFIF database and ECHUM data.

Rectangle Tool
A Rectangle Tool is now available in the drawing toolkit.

ECHUM Enhancements
FalconView displays ECHUM items in yellow to indicate that the ECHUM item is for a chart other than the underlying map. Yellow ECHUM can indicate a chart edition change, but it will also appear if there is a chart series, designation, or date mismatch. When an ECHUM item is shown in yellow, the Electronic CHUM Information dialog will show you how the ECHUM item is out-of-synch with the underlying map.

Threat Enhancements
The threat terrain-masking algorithm was modified to use the same radial step size and radial spacing used by the MPS. That is, samples are now taken at 1 NM intervals along 360 radials, as opposed to 0.2 NM intervals along 72 radials. In addition, the “highest point” threat placement employed by the MPS was added. That is, the elevation where the threat is located is assumed to be the highest of the nine closest 100-meter DTED posts.

In addition, several enhancements were made to the Threat Editor dialog.
