Color and Its Integration into U.S. Army Rotary-Wing Cockpits: A White Paper

Abstract

Color is a perception arising from the response of the human visual system to light in the environment. This white paper attempts to provide discussions that reveal and explain the complexities of color, a natural, but frequently misunderstood, attribute of the human visual system. This endeavor is considered essential to ensuring the ever-increasing usage of color in U.S. Army cockpits (and throughout the Army) will in each instance enhance, not compromise, crew capability and performance, thereby increasing the probability of mission success. Its target audience is the myriad of professionals who design, implement, and evaluate the use of color in Army aeronautical systems.
