Acquisition Slant Ranges for Targets.
Abstract
The report summarizes several studies on display systems having to do with target detection or recognition and all having implications for target acquisition slant range. It considers size, contrast and resolution as important. It is noted that large, clearly-resolved targets are often missed or are detected only at close ranges, even at helicopter speeds. A requirement of 15-20 TV lines on target and 12-20 minutes of arc angular subtense on displays is discussed for unbriefed targets. This means that only narrow ground swaths can be displayed. Percentages of unbriefed targets detected as well as acquisition ranges are noted in relation to the maximum permited by the displayed size and resolution of the target images. (Author)
