In Relation to mission planning ArcGis can be a very useful tool in surveying the mission area prior to stepping foot in the field. Within ArcGis Earth we can Zoom in on a specific area and with the basemap "Terrain with Labels" we can find the elevation of the area and what it will look like. Two more useful tools contained within ArcGis are Viewshed and Line of Sight. Line of sight allows the PIC to choose a point at which they will be standing during flight and then add points that will show whether or not the PIC or VO will be able to see beyond a certain point due to the terrain or any obstructions. The next is Viewshed which is an analytical tool that shows the area that is visible from a certain point. You can change the color scheme or parameters in order to se...
