1-2 CANCELATION.
DMA TM 8358.2 replaces Department of the Army Technical Manuals 5-241-8 and 5-241-9
1-3 PURPOSE,
1-3.1 This manual provides DoD Mapping, Charting and Geodetic (MC&G) production elements,
product users and system developers with information necessary for the use of the UTM and UPS
grids in surveying and mapping operations.
1-3.2 It also updates the methods and equations used to perform coordinate conversions, conver-
gence and scale adjustments to efficiently program high-speed computers used in these operations.
1-4 SCOPE,
1-4.1 This manual contains the recommended procedures and tables necessary to convert between
grid and geographic coordinates within the Universal Transverse Mercator and Universal Polar
Stereographic grid systems. Computations to determine convergence in the two systems and cor-
rections for scale variations are also discussed and illustrated. One chapter is dedicated to the
methods used to perform datum transformations and grid/geographic coordinate transformations.
1-4.2 Annex A refers to software and documentation available for the two universal grids. Annex B
refers to software and documentation available for selected non-universal grids.
1-5UTLZTO
1-5.1 DMA TM 8358.2 is to be used by DoD MC&G production elements, product users and DoD
system developers in the application of datums, ellipsoids, grids, grid/geographic coordinate con-
versions and grid reference systems.
1-5.2 Users are cautioned that the information contained herein applies to current and future MC&G
production and does not necessarily apply to products that are currentiy available through the DoD
supply system.
1-6 DEFEINITIONS..
1-6.1 Daturn. As used in this manual, datum refers to the geodetic or horizontal datum. The clas-
sical datum is defined by five elements giving the position of the origin (two elements), the onenta-
tion of the network (one element) and the parameters of a reference ellipsoid (two elements). More
recent definitions express the position and orientation as a function of the deviations in the meridian
and in the prime vertical, the geold-elflpsoid separaiionb, and the parameters of a refvrence ellip-
soid. The World Geodetic System datum gives positions on a specified ellipsoid with respect to the
center of mass of the earth.
1-6.2 Easting. Eastward (that is left to right) reading of grid values on a map.
1-1
DMA TM 8358,2
1-6.3 Ellipid. A three-dimensional figure generated by the revolution of an ellipse about one of
its axes, The ellipsoid that approximates the geoid is an ellipsoid rotated about its minor axis, or an
oblate spheroid.
1-6.4 Ceoid The equipotential surface in the Earth's gravity field approximates the undisturbed
mean sea level extended continuously through the continents. The direction of gravity is perpen-
dicular to the geoid at every point. The geoid is the surface of reference for astronomic observa-
tions and for geodetic leveling.
1-6.5 GraticulI. A nr,v,ork of lines representing parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude form-
ing a map projeti, .
1-6.6 Gd. Two sets of parallel lines intersecting at right angles and forming squares; a rectangular
Cartesian coordinate system that is superimposed on maps, charts and other similar representations
of ,ne Earth's surface in an accurate and consistant manner to permit identification of ground loca-
tions with respect to other locations and the computation of direction and distance to other points.
1-6.7 Map PoieIion. An orderly system of lines on a plane representing a corresponding system
of imaginary lines on an adopted terrestrial datum surface. A map projection may be derived by
geometrical construction or by mathematical analysis.
1-6.8 Military Grid Reference System (MGRS91 The alphanumeric position reporting system used
by the U.S. military. A full description can be found in DMA TM 8358.1, chapter 3.
1-6 9 Non-Universal Grids. Grids other than UTM and UPS grids, such as British National Grid,
Irish Transverse Mercator Grid, Madagascar Grid, and New Zealand Grid. Also referred to as non-
standard grids.
1-6 11 S1heroid A mathematical figure closely approaching the geoid in form and size, used as a
surface of reference for geodetic surveys (See also ellipsoid.).
1-6 12 Universa! Grids. The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid and the Universal Polar
Stereographic (UPS) grid. Also referred to as standard grids.
1-6.13 World Geograohic Reference System IGEOREF- A worldwide position reference system
that may be applied to any map or chart graduated in latitude and longitude (with Greenwich as the
prime meridian) regardless of projection. It provides a method of expressing positions in a form
suitable for reporting and plotting. The primary use is for interservice and interallied reporting of
aircraft and air target positions.

Zone numbering: Starting with I for the zone from 180OW to 1740W, and increasing eastward to 60
for the zone from 174 0E to 180 0 E.
Zone limits and overlap: The zones are bounded by meridians whose longitudes are multiples of
60 west or east of Greenwich. On large-scale maps, an overlap of approximately 40km on either
side of the junction is provided for engineer surveyors and for artillery survey and firing. This over-
lap is never used in giving a grid reference.
Polar region overlap: The U.T.M. overlaps 30' onto the Universal Polar Stereographic Grid, which
extends from the poles to 83030'N or 791303S respectively.
The computations in this chapter, using geodetic latitude, are accurate to the nearest .001 arc second
for geographic coordinates and to the nearest .01 meterfor grid coordinates. More accurate formulas
are available. These formulas contain more terms and utilize isometric latitude. Ifdesired, FORTRAN
subroutines and programs utilizing these formulas may be obtained from HQ DMA, ATTN: PR.
Programmers Note: The footpoin: latitude, 4', is normally derived by iteration (successive ap-
proximation), based on term TI.
2-6
DMA TM 8358.2
NOTE: The computation of both convergence and scale factor has generally been replaced by
geodetic inverse and forward computer programs to determine geodetic azimuths and distances.
Formulas such as those by Vincenty and Sodano are available from DMAHTC/PR.

3-2.1.1 The Universal Polar Stereographic Grid is defined on the WGS-84 Ellipsoid. The formulas
which follow have been generalized, however, to allow construction of the polar stereographic grid
on any ellipsoid. The WGS-84 Ellipsoid has the following parameters:
a - 6,378,137 meters
1/1 = 298.257223563

Orientation of the grid systems: In both zones, the 2,000,000 meter easting One coincides with the

A single argument arctan routine returns an angle 'L' in the range of V,/2 (900) to -xr/2 (-90O). The
longitude of the point is equal to L' if the denominator of the above equations is positive. If the
denominator is negative, then the longitude is obtained as follows:

NOTE: The programmed equations utilize only the arctan function since this routine is standard in
most systems. Normally, using only the arctan function will not result in any loss of accuracy on the
computer as the machine defaults to the arccot routine where appropriate (i.e. above 450).

if AN = 0, then R - AEI
if AE - 0, then R = IANI

AN is numerically greater than AE, use the following equation for greater accuracy:
R - I AN f where AN- 0

NOTE: Latitude, in the Polar Stereographic System, is always treated as positive, regardless of
hemisphere.
3-5 CONVERGENCE.
Convergence in the Polar Stereographic Projection is equal to the longitude, X, in numeric value. In
the north polar area, it has the same sign as X and in the south polar area it has the opposite sign.
Unlike most grid systems, where convergence is a small angle, the polar system may have conver-
gence angles up to 1800 east or west.
The scale factor is !he factor by which true distances over short lines must be multiplied to obtain
grid distances. The scale factor is constant for any given latitude.

NOTE: The computation of both convergence and scale factor has generally been replaced by
geodetic inverse and forward computer programs to determine geodetic azimuths and distances.

Tables were traditionally used to solve complex, repetitive calculations. With the advent and ready
access to computers and hand-held programmable calculators, tables are now rarely used. Their
discussion has been included in this manual, however, to maintain continuity with manuals DA TM
5-241-8 and DA TM 5-241-9, which this manual replaces. The equations have been adapted from
those in the previous manuals to produce the tables in this manual. A representative example of the
function tables for the International Ellipsoid is included at the end of this chapter.
4-2 DESIGN AND PREPARATION OF UNIVERSAL TRANSVERSE MERCATOR GRID
TABLES,
4-2.1 The tables in this chapter were computed using the International Ellipsoid where:
a - 6,378,388 meters
1/f - 297
b2 6,356,911.946 meters
e2 0.006 722 670 022
Tables for other ellipsoids should be constructed using the constants provided in DMA TM 8358.1.
4-2.2OteNoain
ko = .9996
p = .0001AX"
q = .000001AE where AE - IE-FEI
(FE = false easting)
NOTE: The values A' through E' were derived from the formula, fisted in Section 2-2.1.
4-2.3 The functions represented by Roman Numerals (1)to (XIX) in DA TM 5-241-8, and functions
(XX) and (XXI) are calculated from the "T" terms of Section 2-2.3 herein as follows:
4.1
DMA TM 8358.2
(I) M T1 - Ska
(11) (T2sin21-) x 10l
4-2.4 The terms represented graphically in DA TM 5-241-8 are represented as values in the new
tables. They are calculated from the following:
A6 W (T4sin'l-)x 1024
NOTE: Unlike DA TM 5-241-8, the terms p and q are not Incorporated into the above terms, but
rather, are included Inthe equations used to perform grid/geographic conversions and convergence
computations when using the tables.
4-2
DMA TM 83582
4-2.5 Two correction terms, A2 (IV)and A2(IX), which were shown graphically in the old tables were
eliminated in the construction of the new tables. They are difficult to Interpolate with precision and
therefore, for accuracy requirements greater than that provided by the table, it is recommended that
calculations be done using the computer programs listed in the appropnate Annexes.
NOTE: The tables presented in this chapter are constructed at 1' intervals, however, they can be
requested from HQ DMA, ATTN: PR at any desired interval.
NOTE: E' is added to or subtracted from 500,000, depending on whether the point is east or west
of the central meridian. This E' should not be confused with the E' in Section 4-2.2.
i 4-4.1 The formulas for computing geographic coordinates from UTM grid coordinates are:
4-4.2 The footpoint latitude (4') is obtained by entering the table through Function I with N as the ar-
gument in the northern hemisphere or 10,000,000 - N as the argument in the southern hemisphere,
and making an inverse interpolation.
The formula for the computation of convergence from geographic coordinates is:
C = (XII)p + (XIII)p
3
+ C5p5
4-3
DMA TM 8358.2
NOTE: Functions (XVIII) and (XIX) can be determined from the tables by either N orfootpoint latitude.
A sample computation is provided for computing UTM grid coordinates from geographic coordinates
as follows:
Given:
Latitude 340 15'34".742 N
Longitude , 960 02' 43".158 E
Central Meridian - 990 00' 00" E
AX 2- 57'16".842 - 10,636.842"
p - 1.0636842
To determine the Northing, derive the following functions using the tables:
Function 1:
Even minutes of = 3789935.119
Interpolation for seconds of 1070.106
I - 3791005.225
Function Ih:

Interpolation for seconds of* - 0.465
II - 3490.001
Function III:
III a 2.138
Function A6:
Ara - 0.0009
The above functions are then multiplied by the appropriate powers of p as indicated in the formula
and then summed to give:
I - 3791005.225
IIp2 - 3948.671
IIIp' - 2.737
A0p - 0.001

Function V:
Even minutes of -- 37.040
Interpolation for seconds of -- -0.036
V W 37.004
Function Bs:

The preceeding functions are then multiplied by the appropriate powers of p as indicated in the for-
mula and then summed to give:
lVp - 272037.057
Vp 3 = = 44.534
Bsp" a -0.024
plus False Easting" 500000.000
772081.570 - EASTING
*NOTE: False Easting is either added or subtracted dependent on the location of the point relative
to the central meridian.
*) All other computations are performed in a similar fashion and therefore need not be discussed in
this manual.
4-8.1 The table of radii is produced from the basic formula for the Polar Stereographic Projection
as follows:
4-8.2 The tables of scale factors were computed from the following formula:
k M R/(ucoso)
The formulas to utilize the tables for the Universal Polar Stereographic Grid System are identical to

5-1 GRID CONVERSION BETWEEN ZONES WITHIN THE UTM SYSTEM AND GRID CONVER-
SION BETWEEN THE UTM AND UPS SYSTEMS.
5-1.1 To accurately convert grid coordinates between zones or systems, the grid coordinates are
first converted to geographic coordinates in the known zone or system. Once the grid coordinates
have been converted to geographic coordinates, they are then converted to grid coordinates in the
new zone or system. These conversions utilize the formulas found in Chapters 2 and 3 of this manual.
5-1.2 Although direct grid to grid conversions exist, which can be performed with the use of tables,
this method is not as accurate as the conversion method discussed above. Other apparent direct
grid to grid conversions exist, however they involve the intermediate conversion to geographic coor-
dinates.
5-2.1 The U.S. Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) is designed for use with the UTM and UPS
grids. An MGRS position location is an alpha-numeric version of a numerical UTM or UPS grid coor-
dinate.
5-2.2 Chapter 3 and Appendix B of DMA TM 8358.1 describes and shows the method for finding
the 100,000-meter square identifications. Software to convert between UTM or UPS coordinates
and MGRS positions is listed as Annex A of this manual and can be obtained from DMA HTC/PRT.
5-3.1 The World Geographic Reference System (GEOREF) is a system used for position reporting.
It is not a military grid, but rather an area-designation method. Positions are expressed in a form
suitable for reporting and plotting on any map orchart graduated in latitude and longitude (with Green-
wich as prime meridian) regardless of map projection.
5-3.2 Section 5-4 of DMA TM 8358.1 describes and illustrates the World Geographic Reference
System. Software to convert between UTM or UPS coordinates and GEOREF positions is provided
as Annex A-4 of this manual.
H = N + h = the distance of a point from the ellipsoid center measured along the
ellipsoidal normal through the point
5-1
DMA TM 8358.2
N - geold-eilipsoid separation - the distance
of the geoid above (+ N) or
below (- N) the ellipsoid
h - distance of a point from the geoid - the elevation above or below mean
sea level
A#, A, AH - corrections to transform the geodetic coordinates from the input datum
to the output datum (output minus Input)
AX, AY, &Z - shifts between ellipsoid centers of the input datum and output datum
(output minus input)
Aa, Af - differences between the parameters of the input ellipsoid and the output
ellipsoid (output minus Input)
p - radius of curvature in the meridian

5-4.3.1 The Multiple Regression Equations will provide a more accurate fit than either the Standard
or Abridged Molodenskiy Transformations within its specific area of application, Outside of the
specific area of application, the accuracies deteriorate rapidly.

DMA TM 8358.2
5-4.3.2 Wdhin a small area, such as a degree square, locally deterrnined Molodensidy Transforma-
tion constants will generally provide accuracies commensurate with the multiple regression. The
simplicity and versatility of the Molodenskiy Transformation are also advantageous.
5-4.3.3 As long as the accuracy of the positions determined by satellite point positioning is in the 2-
meter range, the Standard Molodenskiy Transformation will not give significantly more accurate
results than the Abridged Molodenskiy Transformation.
5-4.3.4 When available, the Multiple Regression Equations will be the preferred method of datum
transformation. This is followed by the Standard Molodenskiy Transformation and then the Abridged
Molodenskiy Transformation.
