Final rept., by Edward A. Wade, Leota L. Janke and others. 30 June 61, 187p., 260 refs. (Contract AF 19(604)5503) (ESD TR 61-26) Unclassified report DESCRIPTORS: (*Air raid warning systems, *Radar operators, Effectiveness.) (*Personnel, *Stress (Physiology), *Fatigue (Physiology), *Attention.) Bibliography. Identifiers: SAGE. Literature, bearing upon the performance of human monitors in air-surveillance systems is surveyed. Studies of vigilance visual search, monitoring, fatigue and stress are critically reviewed in terms of implications for long-term monitoring behavior. Sections treat display variables, signal variables procedural variables and operator variables. Studies of visual and systemic fatigue, are examined with studies of task-induced stress, environmental stress and personal stresses encountered by the operator. The data are related to operator duties in the SAGE-system. Recommendations, based upon the review, are made for improving and assuring the continued efficiency of human watchkeepers. Suggestions are made for further research in this area. (Author)
