An Evaluation of the Usefulness of Color in the Patriot Display

Abstract

The evaluation of the usefulness of color in the Patriot high altitude air defense weapon system display reported here is the third and final phase of research performed by the Army Research Institute (ARI) Fort Bliss Field Unit for the Directorate of Combat Developments (DCD), US Army Air Defense Artillery School (USAADASCH). Phases 1 and 2 of the research were (1) a survey of color research, and (2) the development of the experimental color display. These two phases were reported in the ARI Working Paper, "Preliminary Recommendations on the Use of Color in the Patriot Display" (Allender, 1986); Phase 3 consisted of an experiment run on the Patriot Tactical Operations Simulator (PTOS) comparing how trained Patriot operators performed using an experimental color display with how they performed using the existing monochrome display.
