In June 2001, Senator Ted Stevens requested research proposals supporting the use of remote imaging to improve environmental issues, ocean fisheries and aviation issues in Alaska. The Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) applied for a $3 million grant to demonstrate that it was possible to use remote imaging and digital elevation models to map the 12 most dangerous mountain passes in Alaska and create a 3-D virtual fly through of these passes. The renderings would be used for training General Aviation pilots and assisting the Air National Guard's Rescue Coordination Center's (RCC) rescue of downed pilots. In 2003, the completed 3-D visualizations of both Lake Clark and Merrill Passes received national recognition. In June 2004, NASA awarded the department $2.8 million to continue the research and purchase an ortho-imaging process to create 3-D renderings for the remaining 10 aviation mountain passes.
