Build your own Military Symbology

MAJ Private RallyPoint Member — Wed, 25 Mar 2015 11:39:52 -0400

Greetings All,

BLUF: Joint military symbology explorer (http://explorer.milsymb.net/#/home) is a website where you can create, save, and explore military standard symbology. It is currently evolving as the data that it uses grows, but it's still a great asset for those of you looking to understand or create standard military symbols.

The Background:
With the release of MIL-STD-2525D Common Warfighting Symbology (the DOD standard that drives service standards like the Army's ADRP 1-02), comes a new way of graphically representing entities on a map. This new "a-la-carte" symbology may be difficult to understand at first, but the standard's increased agility makes it much easier to create the symbols we need to map.

ESRI is a GIS company that has long supported the DOD, and has created GIS technology used everywhere from FBCB2, CPOF, DCGS-A, and a multitude of other systems. ESRI developed and is maintaining the Joint Military Symbology Markup Language (JMSML), an open-source digitization of MIL-STD-2525D, developed jointly between DOD's Symbology Standards Management Committee and NATO's Joint Symbology Panel.

Here is the JMSML repository link:
https://github.com/Esri/joint-military-symbology-xml

The Joint military symbology explorer is a prime example of how open-source coding can benefit everyone. A researcher at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment created this website as an experiment.

Known issues:
Since the JMSML has trouble depicting Line and Area control measures (it's a question of creating the graphics to render them correctly), that part of the Joint symbology explorer may have some issues.

I hope you all find this helpful, and please let me know if you have any questions. I've also posted this to milSuite, and you can find that link here: https://www.milsuite.mil/book/groups/army-marine-corps-terminology/blog/2015/03/17/the-joint-military-symbology-explorer

Have a great day everyone!

I am glad to see what they have done with capability Sir. Being signal the most difficult thing to explain to Commanders is that we had no way to uniquely identify them on a BFT overlay; now we do. This also opens up the ability to identify Task Force Teams or QRF teams.

It is not possible for military symbols and iconography to be used in the performance of actions or activities carried out in a cyberspace environment. I will get https://www.essayontime.co.uk/term-paper/ to help in essay. Since they do not represent something tangible in the operational environment.
