An Investigation of Airborne Displays and Controls for Search and Rescue (SAR). Volume I. Summary.

Abstract

An analytical synthesis and evaluation of an avionic system and its airborne displays and controls was performed for a hypothetical Search and Rescue helicopter of the 1972-1974 era. The requirements for the system were based on composite mission and operational requirements obtained from four services: U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army and U.S. Coast Guard. The candidate systems evaluated were selected from equipment that was state of the art now or readily could be by 1972. The evaluations of the candidate systems were based on the functional performance of the equipment and on the crew-equipment interface suitability as measured by crew workload. The configuration recommended met most, but not all, of the composite mission requirements. Additional development was suggested in areas where the equipment or the crew-equipment interface evaluations indicated a deficiency in performance. (Author)
