CDB (Common Database) is a terrain standard that uses highly structured and curated GIS data to define the terrain for Synthetic Environments. If you’ve ever worked with raw source data (GIS data), you know it can be all over the place...each source may use slightly different formats and inconsistent attributes, which can make it a headache to manage. CDB solves this problem by using a CDB terrain generation tool to process raw data into a highly structured format, ensuring everything is well-defined and consistent. The tool also allows you to clean up problematic data and integrate your own models into a well-organized directory structure (the database).

MAK has been successfully competing with government owned and internally developed solutions for over 30 years. This is in part due to MAK’s open API’s and MOSA approach, making it an ideal synthetic environment platform that can be customized to meet end users needs. The other reason for MAK’s continued success is our excellent support. MAK is known to continually go above and beyond to help our customers succeed. As Dan Brockway, MAK’s longtime VP of Marketing, coined, “MAK – Your engineer down the hall.”

It’s hard to believe that it was only at I/ITSEC 2023 that I first met the folks from ISL – radar simulation experts that I’ve worked with so closely ever since. Now, only fourteen months later, I’m so proud of the new addition to the MAK ONE ecosystem that our companies have built together: RFView® for MAK ONE.
