Development of a Lexicon for Intra-Cockpit Communications While Navigating at Nap-of-the-Earth (NOE) Altitude.

Abstract

This report describes the background, approach and completion of a project to develop a lexicon (or word list) of terrain descriptors, terrain locators and navigational commands so as to facilitate efficient intra-cockpit communications while flying at NOE altitudes. A draft version of the lexicon was prepared and a preliminary validation exercise was conducted with experienced Army NOE aviators, Revisions were then made and a full-color illustrated lexicon was produced. Application of this lexicon can provide the Army with useful training, experience and research information.
