Optimisation of Pilot Capability and Avionic System Design.

Abstract

Recent advances in avionic systems technology offer facilities to combat aircraft designers to transform completely the potential of engines and airframes into more powerful total weapons systems. To date there has been no serious attempt to equate the problems created by increasing complexity and cost of systems with the costs and benefits offered by aircrew. The ability of aircrew to achieve benefit from systems without an unacceptable attendant level of cockpit workload, requires study. These contributions by authors with backgrounds related to diverse disciplines, sets the scene and offers some guidelines for future research. The book is an introduction to the subject to all who are concerned with the design, procurement or operation of military aircraft.
