A Human Factors Study of a Helmet Mounted Display for the Pilots of the B-1B

Abstract

The objective of this study was to conduct a human factors evaluation of a conceptual Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) compared to Head Down displays (HDDs) in the JDAM/LAR environment, ten B-1B pilots flew 120 3 minute missions, with 4 display conditions, and 3 route conditions. The displays were a HMD, a 4"x 4" LCD, a 8"x6" LCD and the B-1B Block displays (in order). Recommendations were made for improving the HMD.
