Overview
The Range Dome Analysis template allows you to analyze threats to flight corridors in 3D space. Range domes are used to model volumetric spaces that are within a direct 3D distance of a key point or installation, such as a viewing platform, radar station, or anti-aircraft weapon. Range domes are commonly used to evaluate the threat levels within a 3D corridor passing through, or near, a number of key locations. This template takes into account multiple site locations, multiple planned corridors, two range dome distances, and the impact of the surrounding terrain on the line-of-sight.
This template allows you to:
- Digitize viewpoints/threat locations
- Digitize proposed corridor routes
- Generate volumetric threat zones within the proposed corridors
Requirements
Range Dome Analysis requires specific technical experience and software. Minimum system requirements for the ArcGIS Platform can be found on the Support website.
Range Dome Analysis is supported on ArcGIS 10.2.2, 10.3, and ArcGIS Pro 1.3.

Known Issues
- When using the ArcGIS Pro Project Template a user must unzip the RPK folder to the root folder of the project or the template will not run. This zip can be found in the common data folder of the project. There is also a tool in the template that will make this extraction
- The analysis may fail for high-resolution elevation data. See the Troubleshooting section for tips on resolving the issue.
- The analysis may fail for one (or a few) items only. See the Troubleshooting section for tips on resolving the issue.
