The target area is divided into grids, and each grid is divided into 5.394′x 5.394′ grids (about 10Km x10Km). For irregular edge areas, expansion and filling are adopted. Numbering rules: Increasing from 00 in the direction of longitude from small to large, increasing from 00 in the direction of latitude from small to large, and increasing from 00 in the direction of height from small to large according to 10Km.

[0050] ② The second layer: Divide each horizontal grid of the first layer into 0.5394′x 0.5394′ grids (about 1Km x1Km). The total number of grids is 1000. The numbering rules are as follows: they increase from 0 to the top in the longitude direction, from 0 to the top in the latitude direction, and from 0 to the top in the altitude direction of 10Km.
