Computer-Based Simulation for Man-Computer System Design,

Abstract

The Human Engineering Division of the Air Forces Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory (AFAMRL) has used man-in-the-loop simulations to investigate human factors problems posed by man computer interactions in proposed weapon system concepts. Two of the system contexts in which computer-based simulations have been used are command-control and digital avionics. Two command-control experiments and one cockpit design experiment will be summarized in this paper. The final section of the paper is concerned with generic principles for user-oriented man-computer system design.
