MIL-STD-2525

The MIL-STD-2525 standard defines how to visualize military symbology. This project provides support for the entire MIL-STD-2525B Change II plus USAS 13-14 and MIL-STD-2525C.

Project Structure

mil-sym-java is a project that contains three distinct components:

  • Core: The low level libraries for generating complex line and polygon based symbols such as tactical graphics. This component is not intended to be used directly. This project outputs a set of jar files.

  • Renderer: This is the component that can be used in Java applications to generate the entire MIL-STD-2525 symbol for both icons based symbols and geometric symbols such as tactical graphics. Renderer relies on the jar files generated by Core.

  • Service: This component uses the Core and Renderer jar files and creates a REST web service interface that can be deployed to a Java servlet container such as:

    • Apache Tomcat
    • JBOSS
    • WebLogic
    • Jetty

A live instance of the web service can be tested on CloudBees at http://mil-sym-renderer.missioncommand.cloudbees.net/

Basic usage can be seen below:

http://mil-sym-renderer.missioncommand.cloudbees.net/renderer/image/OFPPC----------?size=48 will output:Service call for symbol - service discontinued

http://mil-sym-renderer.missioncommand.cloudbees.net/renderer/image/OHPPC----------?size=48 will output:Service call for symbol - service discontinued

http://mil-sym-renderer.missioncommand.cloudbees.net/renderer/image/ONPPC----------?size=48 will output:Service call for symbol - service discontinued

http://mil-sym-renderer.missioncommand.cloudbees.net/renderer/image/OUPPC----------?size=48&fillColor=3366FF&lineColor=FF0000 will output:Service call for symbol SHGP----------- - service discontinued

Version

Tech

mil-sym-java project uses a handful of open source projects to work properly:

  • Maven - Open source Apache build manager for Java projects
  • jQuery - A fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library

Build

This project builds with Maven. The output of the core and renderer project is a set of JAR files and the service project outputs a WAR file as described under project structure. A top level parent pom file builds all the projects in the correct order with a single command.
