High Resolution Elevation Product Specification
   
   
  Overview:
   
  The High Resolution Elevation product specification describes the data content, structure and metadata requirements required to create a suite of raster elevation data products. These products are defined within this document as a set of spatial resolution layers and are named High Resolution Elevation (HRE) data. HRE data is intended for a wide variety of National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and National System for Geospatial Intelligence (NSG) partners and members, and customers external to the NSG, to access and exploit standardized data products. HRE data replaces the current non-standard High Resolution Terrain Elevation/Information (HRTE/HRTI) products and also replaces non-standard products referred to as DTED level 3 thru 6. This specification is not intended to replace standard DTED 0, 1 and 2 products which will continue to be supported by NGA.

The intent of this product specification is to increase the level of interoperability with and between organizations producing and using topographic elevation data within the elevation community of interest. The elevation data described in this data product specification is typically used for mission planning, terrain modeling and other related applications. Elevation data is often fused with other Geospatial products to provide enhanced visualization capabilities for analysts and mission planners.

* The concept sample files downloaded before 10 Feb 2011 included an anomaly. Although marked as no display; when displayed, the display indicated a vertical inversion. The metadata included in the files were accurate. The anomaly was corrected and files downloaded after 11 Feb 2011 date no longer contain the inversion anomaly.
