File extension dt2 information
The format DTED was developed to enhance in distributing elevation data that has been griddled. The assembling of this data was done by the Mapping Agency of the US Defence. DTED data is obtainable in three various resolutions namely levels 1, 2, and 3. A DTED file has elevation data for longitude and latitude cells each at one degree. DTED files are simple with elevation points in a grid that is regularly spaced. Their original designer was NIMA and their main purpose was primarily for applications in the military.
Cannot open dt2 files in Windows?
Not being able to open dt2 files in Windows may be a result of registry errors or not having the appropriate application installed. It is strongly recommended that you scan your computer for registry errors (free).DTED files are based on longitude and latitude for the various levels. ArcCatalogue and ArcMap fail to recognize DTED files from the second level despite them being included with the files from level one. From the military angle, DTED is a matrix uniform of values for terrain elevation for the provision of quantitative data basically needed for systems as well as applications requiring elevation of the terrain, slope and information regarding the roughness of the surface. The spacing for the elevation post for level 0 of DTED is one kilometre nominally.
