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.

1. 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.

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.)

4. 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.

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.

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. Details are provided in section 5.5.

The abstract, pictorial, or alpfm/numeric symbols or icons represented are the
innermost part of the symbol intended to represent m object. Most of !lrese symbols will be enclosed
by the frames identified in Tables 1 and 2. The basic icons are fisted in Table 11. 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(. Additional moditlers and text such as disectionrd arrows (velocity
leadem), alpha/mrmeric text, and unit icons may be added to defiie the symbol forther. Symbol

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.

5.4.1 Framing. 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

Note:
1) Avoid using saturated “blue” for small lines or dots when the background is dark. Blue as a

“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.

at convenient inti5mals. The numericaf designation of units (supplemented if necessary by the national
distingukhing letters in brackets) may be placed on eitAer side of the size symbols to indicate which
formations are separated by this boundary. When a boundary separates units of unequal size, the
symbol for the larger unit normally will be used. However, unit rear boorrdties will show the size
symbol of the unit concerned and not the size symbol of tie formation commanding that unit. When
the unit concerned does not correspond to the size symbol placed on its boundary, its numerical
designation must be supplemented by its size designation. (Note: Country codes fmm Joint Pub 6-04
are used to distinguish units from different countries.)

5.5.2 A&g& An area is a delimited portion of terrain or space having its own features by virtue
of its natore or tie activities going on within it. A position is an area from which it is intended to
fight.
5.5.2.1 concentic area. The concentric area is used to depict radiological contamination. It
consists of one or more rings. Each ring consists of a line interrupted by a letter/figure combination.
The minimum safe distances from ground zero of one or more nuclear explosions are shown by using
the abb~viation for Minimum Safety Distance (MSD) 1,2, or 3 (e.g., MSD 1, MSD 2, or MSD 3).
Figure 14 demonstrates the use of a concentric area displaying levels of radioactivity indicated in
centigrams per hour.

APPENDIX B
SYMBOL CODING
1.
=.
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.
