Remotely Piloted Vehicle Simulation Study

Abstract

In proposed RPV systems the quality of the video information displayed to the operator will greatly influence the probability of ground target strike mission success Further, the susceptibility of the video data link to jamming will be a major determinant of video quality. The reported study examined the effects of three video frame rates (1.88, 7.5, and 15 frames per second) and three signal-to noise ratios (30, 22, and 15 db) on operator target acquisition performance in a simulated RPV mission. Target type and location were pre-briefed.
