Human Factors Review of the AN/TSQ-47 Air Traffic Control/Communications System

Abstract

Category I testing has recently been completed on the AN/TSQ-47 Mobile Air Traffic Control/Communications System. This report presents a review of human factors problems which occurred during the Category I testing phase and in prior development phases of the system. The design changes suggested are based on recommendations made prior to the completion of Category I testing for the purpose of outlining tentative system deficiencies. Each shelter is reviewed separately, and problems common to all system facilities are discussed. The major topics of review are the operational considerations for each shelter, the working environment, and the design of consoles and work places.
