Check out
 http://www.tmpo.dma.gov:8001/
   Thats the US Defense Mapping Agency's (DMA) Terrain Modeling Program
Office (TMPO).
http://www.dmso.mil/

   Thats the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO) While much
of their output is US Govt only, they and the other DIS folks are
doing a LOT of ground breaking work on terrain modeling. (pun intended
;-)

Both those sites have excellent lists of other related (and unrelated) links.

Happy Hunting!
