4. The reason for the project (1) New radar hardware and software The “old” BRAS application is top-heavy Many different versions of radar display systems Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) works only on PC platforms in MSIE No development on SVG plug-inn we use Extra functionalities are needed: - Graphic improvements - Geographic information
