Who is using MSS today?

MSS is implemented in a number of systems by the following suppliers: TADIRAN, EADS, THALES, AMPER, ELTA, ELCA ... . It is nationally used by the Swiss Armed Forces and internationally by NATO (JC3IEDM / MIP) as the symbol and tactical graphic provider.
 

What is the advantage of MSS?

Symbols or tactical graphics are not exchanged as images; they are handled via their SymbolString. This enables the system independent exchange of graphics within only a few characters. The MSS library which contains all symbols and tactical graphics can be extended with country and/or product specific graphics. This includes as well the display options and settings.
The service can be implemented in any system requiring military symbols and tactical graphics. It provides a wide range of export formats including,*.svg, *.png, *.wmf, *.emf, *.jpg, *.bmp, ...
