Quadelta, Inc.2-D Situation Awareness Display
This mission begins at Dulles IAD and circles DC. Hostiles are in red, friendlies in blue and yellow is
unknown. Ownship is in black and follows yellow flight path.

Quadelta, Inc.Vanishing Pixels – 3D Objects, 2D World
Aircraft models reduce to a single pixel very quickly. Their pixels vanish as distance
increases.

Quadelta, Inc.Visualize Heading During Flight Maneuvers
Areas of importance may be highlighted as well.
Use Handle Graphics to display “Heading Indicators” in any color as shown here above Hoover Dam.

Sphere Size Adjusted to Altitude or Threat Level
Notice how, again, Hoover Dam is highlighted.
Adjusting the radius of the spheres could be used to indicate altitude or threat level.

Quadelta, Inc.Visualization of Airborne Targets
Two Red Team members defending Hoover Dam.
When using fixed cameras, be sure to leave plenty of sky in the scene.

Quadelta, Inc.Visualizing Camouflaged Targets
A target (T-72 Tank) painted in desert camouflage may be difficult to visualize in a desert.
![Page 10: Target Tracking Visualization Tool€¦ · This presentation will address the following issues: • 2-D Situation Awareness Display ... for the time being. 14 Quadelta, Inc. ... •Target](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071016/5fcf2c760a51d42a89341985/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Quadelta, Inc. Visualizing Camouflaged Targets
The transparency of the sphere can be reduced.
The sensors have identified it as hostile yet it may be difficult to visualize. Mark the target with a sphere.
![Page 11: Target Tracking Visualization Tool€¦ · This presentation will address the following issues: • 2-D Situation Awareness Display ... for the time being. 14 Quadelta, Inc. ... •Target](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071016/5fcf2c760a51d42a89341985/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Quadelta, Inc.Visualizing Camouflaged Targets
Red works well here, but any color may be used.
Or, using the Virtual Reality Toolbox, turn the transparency off to create a sphere of certainty as to the target’s location, making it very easy to visualize.

Quadelta, Inc.Visualizing Areas of Disengagement
Here “asymmetric threats” are using civilian environments.
Areas of disengagement need to be marked such that they can be identified from aircraft.

Quadelta, Inc.Visualizing Areas of Disengagement
The top view of this Area of Disengagement.
Here the area of disengagement has been marked in green, so that its engagement can be avoided for the time being.

Quadelta, Inc.Visualizing the Engagement of Targets at Sea
A Russian Missile Cruiser just south of Reagan Airport
Identified as hostile, cross hairs are displayed and the sphere reduces in size.

Quadelta, Inc. Visualizing Areas of Vulnerability
Top view of the LAX Theme Building.
One part of the tracking of targets includes the determination or protection of areas of vulnerability.
Here, the area of vulnerability is displayed based on azimuth from a particular point.
