An Interactive Graphics Approach to the Flight Deck Handling Problem.

Abstract

Present communication networks aboard aircraft carriers introduce inefficiency into the aircraft handling operation. A previous study, named CADOCS, failed to solve the problem by a method involving computer simulation. This study proposes a solution to the aircraft handling problem by use of a system of computer graphics terminals and interactive or 'man-in-the-loop' programming. The study includes a proposed communication network, a discussion of the types of computer graphics hardware now available, a discussion of interactive programming, and a preliminary computer graphics program for two displays in the proposed system.
