What is DTED file?

The Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) format is a map format for terrain elevations published by the U.S. National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA). The DTED files contain digital terrain models as rasters. A raster is a georeferenced grid containing a value in each one of its cells.

How can I download DEM data for free?

You can download the ASTER DEM data for free from the USGS Earth Explorer. Under the data sets tab, select Digital Elevation > ASTER .

What do you need to know about DTED 2?

DTED2 is the basic high resolution elevation data source for all military activities and systems that require landform, slope, elevation, and/or terrain roughness in a digital format. DTED 2 is a uniform gridded matrix of terrain elevation values with post spacing of one arc second (approximately 30 meters).

What is the definition of DTED Level 1?

DTED Level I is the basic medium resolution elevation data source for all military activities and systems that require landform, slope, elevation, and/or gross terrain roughness in a digital format. DTED1 is the basic medium resolution elevation data source for all military activities and systems…

When was DTED Level 2 made available to the public?

DTED Level 2 (30m) will be available thru the 2000 STS-99 Shuttle IFSAR mission in 2001. DTED2 is the basic high resolution elevation data source for all military activities and systems that require landform, slope, elevation, and/or terrain roughness in a digital format.

How are elevation data used in DTED 2?

In accordance with the DTED® 2 specification, the terrain elevation data have been edited to portray water bodies that meet minimum capture criteria. Ocean, lake and river shorelines were identified and delineated. Lake elevations were set to a constant value.
