Milsymbol generator wiki

The pages on this wiki describe the functionality and content of the Milsymbol generator as extended by the Military Tactical Graphics Czechia. Some information is valid for the original Milsymbol generator created by spatialillusions as well.

Documentation of used standards

In this project, we are using the MIL-STD-2525C standard for military symbols, specifically the Military Operation Tactical Graphics section. The relevant specification of this standard can be found on pages 329 - 761 in the following document: http://www.mapsymbs.com/ms2525c.pdf

Symbol generation

The generator uses a form which prompts the user to input necessary attributes. Here are some examples of JSON and the corresponding symbols they generate:

Table of symbols

	Special point	Simply placed point to map using GeoJson. Specifically, it is a "Special point" created in the unitgenerator.
	Under sea	Simply placed point to map using GeoJson. Specifically, it is a "ANM" created in a unitgenerator from spatial illusions.
	Ground zero / ambush	Combination of two objects, point Ground zero and ambush. Used just as example, not as a real visualization.
