This interactive map was created in ArcGIS Online in preparation for a micro air vehicle (MAV) flight test at Eglin AFB
at Test Range B-70. To create the interactive map, several features were accessed and/or digitized and uploaded to ArcGIS Online. First, a shapefile for the
perimeter of Eglin AFB was accessed from the Florida Geographic Data
Library web site (blue outline). A point feature depicting the target coordinates (back dot) was then digitized. Finally, 3- and 4-mile circular buffers were created around the
target site that specify cautionary (yellow) and critical (red) range boundary conditions for the MAV. If
the MAV strays beyond the red boundary, a fail-safe is triggered in the
autopilot to immediately land the air vehicle. Left-clicking on any of these features
provides a pop-up window of feature details.
