Over 3,000 topographic map sheets were scanned and formatted after procurement from local and Russian sources.

We can use our 15 terabytes of in-stock raster maps to create a seamless map over almost any area of the world.” EVC is a leading source of geospatial data and large-scale maps from Africa, Central Asia, Middle East, and other parts of the world.
CADRG is a compressed version of ADRG (ARC Digitized Raster Graphics). Both formats support various digital moving map systems, mission planning, and C3I theater battle management.
