Aircraft Track Initiation and Maintenance in a Single-Operator Simulated Surveillance System: Technical Report III.

Abstract

A semiautomatic radar surveillance system using a time-compression mode for display of real-time radar data was simulated. Subjects were required to detect targets entering a surveillance area of 300 by 300 nautical miles, initiate automatic tracking of these targets, and reinitiate: maintain lost tracks when automatic tracking failed. Three target introduction rates, two levels of clutter density, and three levels of target velocity were investigated.
