Home to open source software projects sponsored by US Army Mission Command
As the software industry has become more and more dependant on open source software solutions, many DoD software projects have likewise incorporated ever increasing amounts of open source software into their development.
In an attempt to contribute back to the open source community and enable wider use and evolution of this software, Mission Command has identified two projects that fit the open source model. These projects were reviewed and approved for public release and now live in the open source community on Github.
The mil-sym suite of projects enable rendering of MIL-STD-2525 icons and multi-point symbols such as tactical graphics. The entire MIL-STD-2525 version B and C are supported in all three distributions. The rendering of these symbols can be done completely within the client application alleviating the need for any pre-generation of symbols or service calls
MIL-STD-2525 symbol rendering library for Android applications
MIL-STD-2525 symbol rendering Java library for applications and web service
MIL-STD-2525 symbol rendering JavaScript library for modern web applications
EMP is an SDK for integrating geospatial visualization and interaction in web and Android applications. EMP abstracts away vendor specific map tool kits and APIs enabling your application to choose between map engine providers, such as Leaflet, while using a simple, consistent API.
EMP provides a streamlined API with many helper utilities making complex interactions, such as drawing and editing Ellipses, Rectangles, and MIL-STD-2525 Tactical graphics a breeze.
EMP Android can be used as a 3D interactive map visulization component in any Android application targeting Android 4.2.2 and newer. EMP Android currently implements a single map engine, NASA World Wind Android.
EMP Web can be included in web applications as a framework agnostic simple Javascript include. EMP Web currently implements two map engines, Leaflet JS and Cesium JS, and is in the process of adding a third, NASA World Wind Web.
