DTED -- Military Elevation Data
GDAL supports DTED Levels 0, 1, and 2 elevation data for read access.
Elevation data is returned as 16 bit signed integer. Appropriate
projection (always WGS84) and georeferencing information is also returned.
A variety of header fields are returned dataset level metadata.
Creation Issues
The DTED driver does support creating new files, but the input data
must be exactly formatted as a Level 0, 1 or 2 cell. That is the size,
and bounds must be appropriate for a cell.
