mepping cemera—A camera specially
designed for oceans. The production of
photographs to be used in mapping. The
modifier mapping or surveying indicates that
the camera is equipped with mechanisms to
maintain and to inclcate me Imerior orientation
of the photographs with sufficient accuracy for
mSp@W pummsea. A mapping camera may be
an aerial mapping ~mera or terrestrial mapping
camera. Also called euweylng camera.
mapping photography—Aerial phonography
obtained by precisely calibrated mapping
cameraa and conforming to mapping
specifications, as distinguished from aerial
photography tor other purposes, Also called
aerial cartographic photography;
canographlc photography; Chat’flng
photography; auwey photography.
ITIapplnQ, charslng, and geodesy
(MC& G)—MC&G comprises the collection,
Iransronnation, generation, dissemination, and
storing of geodetic, geomagnetic, gravimelric,
aeronautical, topographic, hydrographic,
cultural, aml Ioponymic data. These data may
ba used for military planning, training, and
operations inciudrng aeronautical, nautical, and
land navigation, as well as for weapon
orianfation and target positioning. MC&G alao
includes the evaluation of topographic,
hydrography, or aeronautical features ior their
aftad on military oparatione or intelligence. The
data may be presarrfed In the rorm of
topographic, planimetric, reliet, of thematic
maps and graphics} nautical and aeronautical
charla and pwblicatlons; and in simulated,
pholographlc, digital, or computerized Iormats.
