An Evaluation of a Raster Scan Display for Use in an Aircraft Information Handling System.

Abstract

The work described herein was part of continuing research in the area of computer aided information management and display as applied to air operations on an aircraft carrier. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Hughes CONOGRAPHIC-12 Graphics Display Terminal in a computer graphics-aided aircraft information handling system. The approach taken in this study was to implement a realistic aircraft information handling system on a Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-11/50 minicomputer within the conventions of the C programming language and the UNIX operating system at the Naval Postgraduate School Computer Laboratory. The study includes a description of previous efforts in the area, a description of the CONOGRAPHIC-12 hardware and the software written to evaluate the display terminal. The study also includes an evaluation of the CONOGRAPHIC-12 display terminal as both a dynamic interactive display terminal and a repeater-only terminal at six representative stations. (Author)
