An Initial Mini-Study of Display Symbology for FAAD-C2I Displays

Abstract

In the use of graphics displays to facilitate the man-machine interface (MMI), instant display clarity and transfer of required information must be the goal of symbology and display design. During the development of the FAAD-C2I ABMOC display on the SYMBOLICS 3670, it became obvious that the symbology set as prescribed in DOD-STD-1477 and the FAAD-C2I System Specification causes excessive screen clutter. This observed clutter creates a confusion factor and excessive loading on the operator. Seconds lost and misinterpretation of data could be significant factors in the intense real-time air defense environment. As a result a small effort was undertaken to examine what, if anything, could be done to reduce screen clutter by redesigning the air defense artillery symbology. (RRH)
