RADAR TARGET DETECTION AS INFLUENCED BY EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING,
Abstract
This report describes two tests comparing the performance of experienced and inexperienced radar observers in detecting targets on the searchtype or plan position indicator (PPI) display of radar systems. The first test used ADHRU laboratory simulation facilities which displayed a single target in a single ECM strobe. A second test used the NIKE HERCULES system and the AN/MPQ36 radar target and ECM simulator. The results of the second test confirmed those of the first test. Although reliable differences in detection range existed among individual observers, these differences were not due to job experience. (Author)
