Aerodrome Mapping Database: AMDB

DETAILED VECTOR LAYERS

Detailed vector layers are like digital blueprints of a specific area. They offer a precise and customizable way to represent geographic features such as runways and terminals on a map. These layers — which are derived from satellite imagery — are crucial in enhancing aerodrome mapping databases.

Detailed attributes are added to vector objects using image interpretation, publicly available airport diagrams, and customer-provided data. This provides additional information beyond the spatial location, allowing users to easily understand how aerodrome features appear and function. 

Detailed vector layers do more than just help plan and coordinate aircraft movements and ground operations; they also help users make better choices, plan emergency procedures, and optimize resources to ensure a safer operating environment.

Your aerodrome is already great; make it exceptional with L3Harris’ layered, seamlessly integrated aerodrome mapping databases.

CORRELATED VECTOR LAYERS Vector layers in aerodrome mapping databases are precisely correlated and structured according to their function within the aerodrome. These layers play a critical role in effectively managing and representing the various elements that make up an aerodrome. They are organized into five categories:  Runways Taxiways Aprons Vertical Structures Other Data This structured approach facilitates better planning, management, and decision-making for safe and efficient aerodrome operations.
