Target Presentation Methodology for Tactical Field Evaluations

Abstract

The research requirement was to develop a standard, general-purpose target presentation methodology that could be employed to evaluate visual target acquisition equipment in future US Army field tests. As a first step in this developmental effort, a review of the military and psychological literature was conducted to collect the information pertaining to the factors important in the target acquisition process and threat targets and tactics likely to be encountered on the modern battlefield. Following the review of the literature, the information collected on these topics was integrated into a target presentation methodology.
