Human Engineering Laboratory Identification Friend or Foe Test (HELIFF).

Abstract

This study tested the ability of qualified helicopter gunners to detect and to identify moving tactical vehicles of the United States and its allies and the Warsaw Pact countries as either friend or for. The gunners observed the vehicles from a tower which simulated a gunship in the hover position. The data shows the mean time and mean range differences between the detection and the identification of the moving tactical vehicles both with the use of 10-power optics and with unaided vision. The percentage of correct identifications is also given. (Author)
