Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com MIL-STD-2525 FOREWORD 1. ‘Ilsis interim military standard is appruved for use by all Department of Defense (DOD) departments and agencies. Its development has been based on North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Stand~dixation Agreement (STANAG) 2019, App 6. “Mfi~rY Symbok for Lmd Breed Sys@”ins,”U.S. Army Field Manual (FM) 101-5-1, Operational Terms and Symbols, STANAG 4420, “Display Symbology and Colors for NATO Maritime Units,’’and symbology used in the Navy Tactical Data System (NTDS) and the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS). Through the benefit of Hum&r Factors Engineering research, this interim MIL-STD is designed to eliminate conflicts within various symbol sets, and to bring a core set of common warfighdng symbology under one DOD standard. 2. Land-based warfightirrg symbology has its roots in STANAG 2019 (APP 6) and U.S. Anuy FM 101-5-1. ‘l%esymbols and graphics contained in these documents are used by commanders and staff at all echelons in the planning and execution of land based military operations. These symbols arc used to support command and control funcdons in a force domain environment, representing land based units, installations, and equipment. ‘llse symbol designs we~ manually generated, two dimensional objects representing both thematic and topographical (point, lines, and area) features. These symbols were not designed for plotting naval or aeronautical tracks, military geographic information and documentation, or telecommunication diagrams. 3. Narsticaf and acronauticaf warfighting symbology have evolved from the requirement to display tactical sea and air track data on automated command and control and weapons control systems more closely associated with the pnwwernent domain. Aeronautical symbology has its roofs in the JTIDS while nautical symbology has developed from NTDS symbology. Although not yet ratified by the U. S., STANAG 4420 is an attempt to provide a NATO standard representing air and sea track symbols. It is designed to support ‘the command and control of dynamic, constantly moving sea and air tracks. 4. Standard symbology synthesized frum both domains has become an increasingly essential ingredient in the successful implementation of the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C41) for the Warrior (FIW) concept. Joint warfighdrrg has strengthened the requirement for the rapid exchange of information by the C41 systems community, expanding into the weapons control or engagement domain. The need for C41 symbology standardization was recognized in the recent mifitary operations in Southwest Asia rmd Somalia. ‘he 30 August 1993 meeting of the Military Communications-Electronics Board (MCEB) recognized dris requirement, This family including the need to develop a family of symbology standards to support C41FTW. of symbology standards consists of t,his Common Warfighting Symbology MIL-STD (Version 1), a specification for development of a DOD symbology data repository, a symbol construction (automation) standard, and a number of special symbol sets such as weather and mapping. This MILSTD (Version 1) is designed to equip DOD with a standard solution that provides basic symbol frame shapes, a set of C41 symbols, a coding scheme for symbol automation, an information hierarchy, and a base set of roles for their application. As witfr any interim MIIATD, it is designed to be replaced, wiflr minimal impact, by a ~ial version that will provide a more detlmitive comprehensive set of symbols to support C41FTW. ii Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com MIL-STD-2525 5.

SCOPE 1.1 -. This standard prescribes a set of common warfighdng symbols afong with basic application md dkplay roles for Department of Defense (DOD) Command, Control, Communications, Computer, and Intelligence (C41) system operations, system development, and training. These symbofs are designed to enhance DOD’s joint warfighting interoperability by providing a standard set of common C41 symbols. It is the first in a projected family of symbology standards for the warfighter. ‘ 1.2 Omnization and come nt. The requirement to standardize C41 watiighting symbology was recognized at the 30 August 1993 meeting of the Military Communications-Electronics Board (MCEB), recognizing the need for a family of symbology standards to support C41 for the Warrior (FTW) concept. ~is family of symbology standards, illustrated in Figure 1, consists of a set of documents to include a warrior’s symbology standard in two versions that provide a core set’ of symbols and display rules for C41, configuration management of symbology standards, a DOD symbology database, a symbol constmction standard (afong with government owned open system environment software for symbol construction and use), and an increming number of special symbol set standards. Version 1 is a near term or interim solution providing basic rules for symbol usage and a com set of symbols for future C41 systems and applications. Version 2 is the long tesm solutions providing a detlmitive set of symbol rules and a more complete set of symbols for C41 systems.

Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com MIL-STD-2525 ‘his MIL-STD combines the symbology from two separate usage domains referred to as the “force domain” and “engagement domain.” Both domains use warfighting symbology in support of their C41FllV functions. When integrated, these symbols provide a starting point toward a final standard solution for C41FIW symbology. Symbology used in the “force domain” has evolved fmm North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Standardization Agreement (STANAG) 2019 (APP 6), “Military Symbols for Land Based Systems,” and U.S. Army Field Manual (FM) 101-5-1, Operational Terms and Symbols. Commanders and staff at alJ echelons use the symbols and graphics in these documents in the planning and execution of land based military operations. ‘J%esesymbols represent units, installations, and equipment and are used in automated C41 systems or to mark maps and overlays manually. Symbology used in the “engagement domain” has evolved fmm the requirement to plot sea and air tracks on cockpit, molar, weapons control, and command and control tactical displays. Both Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS) and Navy Tactical Data System (NTDS) symbology, and most recently STANAG 4420, “Display Symbology and Colors for NATO Maritime Units,” have been tie primary sources for track symbols used within this domain. In addition, MIL-STD -1295 and MIL-STD-1787B have been developed to provide standards guidance regarding rutary and fixed wing cockpit displays. These documents represent many years work by dre U.S. rnihary and intcmationaf community and axe well representative of the requirements of the DOD. Version 1 of this MIL-STD is an attempt to combine symbology used in both domains to provide a set of warfighting symbols for the C41FTW community. 1.3 ADD licabilhy. This MIL-STD applies to all DOD components directly or indirectly involved with C41FTW operations, system operations, system development, and training within the context of warfighting operations. The standmd will serve as the standard symbol set for all future DOD uses of C411WW symbology. It does not apply to the application of mapping/chwdng, weather, cockpit display, or engineering design symbology. It, applies to all futurt use of symbols in two dimension~ and electronic display system C41FTW environments. 1.4 User instnrctionS. ‘llris MIIATD is designed to provide both general and detailed requirements necessary for dre development and display of standard C41 warner symbology. It contains tables that provide tie user with the basic frame shapes (Tables 1 and 2) and over 300 icons (Table 11), along with guidelines for their use. Each of dse icons listed in Table 11 are cress referenced to the hierarchy and the symbol coding scheme appendices, Appendix A and B, respectively. The symbol hierarchy contained in Appendix A provides an organization or stmctum for C41 warrior symbology. Each symbol category or icon contains a number that is cress referenced to a symbol coding scheme in Appendix B. A tactical graphics section, which addresses lines, areas, and boundaries, is also provided. Tne coding scheme is used in the Army Space Program Office GraphicaJ Sitoation Display (GSD) software package. The icon construction software module of this package is intended for use by future and migrating C41 system developers as an eftlcient method for storing drawing instructions vice graphic images in tie C41 system., The drawing instmction in the GSD package uses the symbol coding scheme in this standard. Symbols should comply with the National Imagery Transmission Format Standards (NITFS) when formed and transmitted. llre Computer Graphic Metafiie (CGM) implementation of NITFS should be used for input interpretation and output generation of symbol representations (Military Standard 2 Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com MIL-STD-2525 2301). Military Standard 2500 should be used for formating digital symbology and exchange among usera. ‘lhe symbol coding scheme in this standard should be the preferred code for all symbol transmissions in the DoD. If necessary, the coding scheme may be translated at the user system, however, to ensure intemperability a common code for warrior symbols is necessary and is made standard in this document. It should be noted that Table 11 does not contain all of the possible icons listed in tie hierarchy, as dris is only an interim MIL-STD. All tactical graphics are also not included. ALso, there are speciaf symbol sets which are in vwious stages of development. Additional icons, refinement of the fderarchy, refinement of the coding scheme, and additional tactical graphics will be developed in Version 2 of this standard. Special symbol seta will be released as hey are developed. (Note: A United States Message Text Format (USMTF) is being developed and will be an option for the transmission of symbol codes.)

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 4.1 Obiective. ‘he use of warfighdng symbology is migrating rapidly from a static, manual operation to fully automated, dynamic computer-generated displays. This has resulted in the development of many C41FT’W system-specitlc processes and applications drat address the symbols and graphics developed to meet construction and display of electronic CINCs’/Semices’/Agencies’ (C/S/A’s) mission requirements. The “C41 for the Warrior” concept, signed by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in June 1992, brings together C41 functions to psuvide the warfighter with a seamless, ml time, true representation of his battlespace. Here, tie standardization of common wtilghtirsg symbology will play an integral role in achieving interoperability during joint service operations. Symbology used in C41FTW transcends all three parts of the hierarchy in the C41FTW infrastructure, the “Warrior Terminal,” “Warrior Battlespace,” and “Infosphem.” 4.2 Ormn ization. ‘llris section is organized into two main parts. The fiit main part deals with composition of a symbol including tie frame shapes used to identify afffiation and battle dimension, tie icons that represent the object of interest, the modifie~, and the icon identifiers. The second main part explains the roles for the application and display of symbology. 4.3 ~vmbol Comuos ition. This document detlmes a symbol as an object that conveys information. Full implementation of this definition requires a signflcant level of sophistication and complexity in the symbol. ‘Ms is accomplished by constructing the symbol as a structure of component parts, each providing further clarifying information about the others. ‘lhe totality of these components comprises tie symbol. The components of the symbol, as shown in Figme 2, are the frame (geometric border), attributes (e.g. color, shape), icon, fields, and modflers. FRAME SHAPE (GEOMETRIC BORDER) / I FIGURE 2. Svmbol comuonen& 10 Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com MIL-STD-2525 4.3.1 &iymbol frames (s!eometric borders]. In most instances a frame (geometric border) will surround the basic icon, and will identify the battle dimension (land, sea surface, sea subsurface, or air) and the affiliation (hostile, friendly, unknown, or neutral): The inkxior of the frame may also be color filled as an optional, redundant for of identification, however, the frame will remain black. 4.3.2 u. The symbol’s graphic component is the innermost part of the symbol and is representative of an object of interest. ‘Ilris also may be called dre basic symbol. 4.3.3 Modiller$. Modifiers are graphic modifications to a symbol used to denote specillc information such as dtiction, sixe, or mobility. 4.3.4 M. Fields area combination of letters, numbers, and/or abbreviations grouped in and around the basic symbol to pruvide additional information. This information may be anotier symbol (such as a size indicator), words, or numbers. 4.3.5 Icon identifier. The icon identifier or coding scheme is explained in Section 5, paragraph 5.3.4., and can be found in Appendix B. 4.4 Amrlication/DisolaY Rules. 4.4.1 Framing. With the exception of those noted, all icons in Section 5, Table 11 wifl be framed using the frame shapes provided in Tables 2 and 3. 4.4.2 Q@ CO1OSSare used to attach specitlc meaning to tactical information and to enable a user to differentiate friendly, enemy, and neutral forces rapidly. ‘Ile use of color is an optional, redundant means of classitlcation that enhances user identification. Color is used in conjunction with the established frame shapes. The intent of his standard is to use both color and frmne shape to designate affiliation if the using C41 system has a color display capability. When applying color to a symbol, the symbol frame, icon, modifiers, and text normally ~main black. Only the interior portion of the frame is color filled. See section 5.4,4 (Table 10) for display options. 4.4.3 a. Symbols are plotted on an overlay or map background based on the geometric center of the symbol or stand alone icon with the center symbol or icon representing the general vicinity of the unit or track, 4.4.4 s~ mbl Di la tions.. Various display options are available depending on the granularity of detail required by the user or by system limitations and capabilities. ‘llese may vary from a complex symbol (fmmed icon with color and text fields) to just a frame or a color coded dot. Priority of display will be affiliation first, foflowed by battle dimension and other amplifying information as available. Table 10 provides examples of selectable display options. 4.5 ,Lirres. areas. and obstacleS. Lines, areaa, and obstacles are depicted by a set of graphic representations defiiing the geometry of the battlefield. These graphics are used to portray unit boundaries, speciaJ area designations, obstacles, and other unique markings necessary for battlefield planning and management.

It provides the detail necessuy to properly use and display C41 symbology at the warrior’s termirraL It contains display rules for symbol representation, size, color, placement, and coding. ‘. 5.2 rzation. This section is organized into two main parts dealing with the detailed Ormr requirements of symbol composition and application and display rules. Section 5.4.4 provides the thematic icons which are embedded into the symbol frames or are used as stand-alone symbols. Section 5.5 covers the symbols and graphics used to depict lines, boundaries, and areas in support of land warfare operations. 5.3 Sv mbol 1 comDos’tion, 5.3.1 Sv mbol frames (tzeomem“c bortterQ. In most instances, a frame will surround the basic icon, used to facilitate rapid identification. Basic frame shapes (geometric bofiers) identify the internal symbol or icon as eifher hostile, friendly, unknown, or neutral. Frames displayed with dashed lines represent a planned or anticipated position. ‘Ilre question mark “?” embedded in the unknown frame further defiies the symbol as identification pending. ‘l%e question mark, displayed in a text field (see 5.3.3.1), is also used to indicate assumed friend, faker, and suspect symbols. ‘Ilre following definitions and descriptions will assist the user in understanding the basic frame shapes.

Only those icons specitlcally identified as “unframed or’’optional” can be displayed without the basic frame. 5.3.2.1 Hierarchy. To identify and establish the set of common warfighting symbols, it was necessary to define the full range of information required by the operational user at the command level. ‘llie taxonomy used in this standard was adopted from tbe work already done by tie developers of STANAG 4420. The information set is organized hierarchically, which facilitates information prioritization and provides a method for summarizing detailed information into a manageable set of symbols. This information is presented in Appendix A. 5.3.3 Moditlers and tex(.

Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com MIL-STD-2525 5.3.4 Icon identifier. The icon identifier (ICON ID) is a 12-character alphanumeric code (including 3 characters which are to be defined for future use) that provides the minimum information needed for an automated display system to construct a specific symbol or icon. Since most symbols are constructed of components, standard and user-identified, the ICON ID can be used in conjunction with a database stmctore to construct the applicable symbols. The fiit character in the icon identifier code provides the afftiation (hostile, friendly, neutral, etc). The second character identifies the battle dimension as either land, air, space, sea surface, or sea subsurface. ‘IIre third character identifies the status as eitier “present” or “anticipated/planned.” The affiliation plus dimension plus position codes determine the applicable symbol frame as shown in Section 5.3.1, Tables 1 and 2. llre fourth character identifies the basic type as military, civilian, equipment, installation, points, boundaries, etc, and, when combined with the five remaining characters in the code, identify the embedded icons found in Section 5.4.4, Table 11. Table 5 depicts the format of the icon identifier and indicates the possible vrdues for the flit four characters of the code. Additionrd details on symbol coding and defined values for all of the character positions are provided in Appendix B.

When complex symbols (fmme containing an icon) m displayed, the frames’ interior dimensions must accommodate placement of the icons wifhin the frames without degrading symbol recognition. Symbol frames must be large enough to contain a 0.145 inch or 3.683 millimeter icon. In accordance with guidance provided in MIIATD 1472D, the rniniium symbol dimensions for a viewing distance range of 25 to 29 inches we represented in Table 6. Symbol size may need to be adjusted for workstation variables associated with specific system applications (e.g., viewing distance). 19 Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com MIL-STD-2525 TABLE 6. .Minimum svmbol dimensions Inches Millimeters Symbol Frame HeightNidti 0.25 6.350 Icon HeighWWidth 0.145 3.683 Alpha/numeric Height 0.135 3.439 5.4.1.1 Icon ulacemenl. With the exception of those noted, all icons in Section 5, Table 11 will be placed within a frame or geomehic botier provided in Tables 1 and 2. ‘lXe icon must be placed within the frame so as not to degrade symbol recognition. Minimum symbol and icon dimensions as defied in Table 6 above and paragraph 5.4.1 apply. Table 7 shows examples of proper placement of the icon within the frame. Note that the open frames are extended (three quarters of their full length) to accommodateicon placement within tbe frame.

Blue as a background is most effective for tasks performed at close distances. Because the eye is relatively insensitive to “blue: bhre lines or dots maybe difficult to resolve. 2) May optionally use other colors which conform to the meanings in Table 9. Off-white (vice black) may be used as the default color depending on tie background. 5.4.2.1 Luminance. Color-coded symbofs should have a minimum luminance of one footlambert. Contrasts should be high between the text or graphicaf object and its background screen readability. Minimum luminance contrast ratios are required for specitlc tasks. For discrimination and legibili~, recommended ratios for foreground-to-background luminance contrast range from 6:1 to 10:1. It should be noted that these ratios are not intended to over-ride system specific operational requirements. 22 Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com MIL-STD-2525 5.4.2.2 Chromatic@. To aid in color discrimination, use colors that are as widely spaced along the visible color spectrum as possible. ‘he following colors, listed by their wavelengths in millimicron, are spaced widely enough for easy discrimination.

The Dlottirw of a svmbol or a stand alone icon is based on the svmbol or icon’s geometric center. ‘l’he geometric center symbol or a stand alone icon indicates the general vicini~ of the center of mass of a unit or piece of equipment. If a staff is added to identify a headqutiers or for the purpose if eliminating clutter, the base of the staff indicates tie precise location. If a gruup of units or installations is at one location, the grouping of symbols may be enclosed with a bracket and the exact location indicated with a staff. .“. 23 Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com MIL-STD-2525 5.4.4 Svmbo 1 disulav or)ti‘ens.

Symbol codes have been developed @mskttie C410rweapons syskm operatom in displaying a standad set of symbols. Since most symbols are constmcted of components, standard and user-iden~led, a symbol code or icon identifier is used in conjunction with a database structure When associated with a sotlware package (drawing to construct the required symbols. irrstmctions/databaae structure), the ICON ID will facilitate the display of standard symbols or icons based on operator input. (Note: This appendix is designed for use with dre Graphical Situation Display (GSD) software package being developed for DOD under the direction of ASD/C31. Beta release was August 1994 witi production version scheduled for release in January 1995.) 2. Ico n identifier iICON ID1. The ICON ID is a 12-character rdphainumeric code that provides dre minimum information needed for an automated display system to construct a specitlc symbol or icon. The fmt character in the icon identitler code provides the sffiiation (hostile, friendly, neutral, etc). ‘he second character identifies dre battlespace dimension as either air/space, surface (land/sea), or subsurface. ‘fire third character identifies the position as either “present” (drawn with a solid line) or “anticipated/planned’ (drawn with a dashed line). ‘lhe affiliation plus dimension plus position codes determine the applicable symbol frame as shown in Section 5.3.1, Tables 1 and 2. lhe fourth character identifies the basic type as military, civilian, equipment, installation, points, boundaries, etc, and, when combined widr tie remaining characters in the code, identify the embedded icons found in Section 5.4, Table 11. The basic type character also defines the path or tables from which the remaining codes wilf be selected: Table B-1 depicts the format of the icon identifier and, along with Tables B-2 through B-4, provides the possible values for the fit four characters of the code. Tables B-5 drmugh B-20, along with Table B-22, Battlefield geometry (lines, boundaries, areas, obstacles) and Table B-23, Fise Support, define tie vahres for characters 5 drr6ugh 8, based upon the primary and secondary roles of tie object being displayed. Table B-21 contains lie vahres for character 9, cumently used to designate size of the land units. The remaining three characters are onassigned and are designated for future use. The user has several options when selecting and representing tie ICON ID, depending on tie 3. requirements of the symbol to be displayed. To maintain tie integrity of the coding scheme, it is essential to insert null values where characters are not required. For example, when a framed symbol is required, characters 1 through 4 would most likely be flied witi a vahre from one of the tables. “Primary or secondary roles” (characters 5 through 8) and “size” (charackr 9) would be optionsl, depending on the level of detail desired by the user. Unframed symbols such as equipment or points might use only characters 3 through 9 (depending on the level of detail required), leaving characters 1 and 2 as a null vahre. 4. ‘he folIowing tables provide the assigned vrdues for each character within the ICON ID code. Table B-1 provides the structure and composition of the ICON ID, with dre remaining tables providing the code vahres. me 12 character code ia depicted at the top of each table (in parentheses). The blank ( _ ) represents the character position within dre code where dre values fmm that table are to be placed. The r@erisk ( * ) represents eidrer other required or null vahres necessary for tie completion of tie desired symbol. 100 Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com MIL-STD-2525 TABLE !?Liwilytljin “:“:’!; ,,,,.,,:,,’::, Hosdlc m unknown (u) Neutral (N) Friendly m suspect (s) Pending (p) Awmmd Friendly (A) Now .$@fi.d (o) Table E-2 ;im :U$lOU B-1.
