The Advanced Digital-Optical Control System (ADOCS) User Demonstration Program

Abstract

This report documents the guest/user pilot assessment of the Advanced Digital-Optical Control System (ADOCS) installed in the JUH-60A Light Hawk helicopter. The assessment was performed by 76 guest/user pilots from government, industry, and the news media. Pilot comments were collected on the performance of the ADOCS fly-by-light control system relative to the Primary Flight Control System (PFCS), The Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) (Core & Selectable modes), and the force-type sidearm controllers. Several areas for improvements were identified.
