RESEARCH IN PREDICTIVE INSTRUMENTATION FOR MANUAL CONTROL

Abstract

The work accomplished to date includes the following: (1) A detail definition of the characteristics of the control systems to be studied; (2) the design and fabrication of a complex of experimental equipment which will permit the research to be implemented; (3) performance criteria particularly suited to evaluating manual control capability for tasks with limited time constraints have been generated; and (4) an experimental program which will permit the systematic inclusion of all of the variables which affect control performance has been established in detail. The completion of this research will provide a sound basis for appropriately applying prediction concepts to specific aircraft maneuver tasks, incorporating prediction information in existing cockpit displays, and generating new displays to handle prediction data.
