10. Current Efforts Correlation Assessments
Managed Correlation is the method of identifying and quantifying the measure of correlation between alternate representations of a common geospatial terrain dataset, and allowing the customer(s) to determine if these differences will impact the intended use.
Measure of Correlation is Measuring Features and Surfaces Differences
Tools
Lightbox (leidos) provides testing of the runtime datasets, and supports comparisons between datasets 
C-nergy (Dignitas) provides testing of the runtime datasets, including OneSAF as seen through ERC, and viewing the Obstacle Avoidance and UHRB database
OTF
Lightbox – Elevation test
C-nergy – Side-by-Side
