A Laser-Generated Visual Display and Tracking Task for a Link GAT-1 Flight Trainer.
Abstract
A prototype test system has been developed for use with a Singer Co. GAT-1 flight trainer that permits assessment of a pilot's ability to track a target which moves about three separate axes: vertically (altitude), laterally, and in depth (range). A low-cost laser-generated visual display and rear projection screen was used to create the visual tracking task which is crudely akin to aerial refueling or formation flying. Performance was assessed on-line in terms of: (1) integrated absolute tracking error and (2) time on target, by using a bench top analog computer (EAI model TR-10) and simple hardware.
