The Targeting Task Performance (TTP) Metric A New Model for Predicting Target Acquisition Performance

Abstract

In Figure 1.1, the soldier is using an imaging sensor, hoping to quickly identify whether the tank is a threat, This report describes a model which predicts the probability that he connectly identifies the target. The problem is tackled in two parts. First, the soldier's quality of vision when using the sensor and display is quantified. Most of the report is devoted to this topic. Second, the relationship between quality of vision and peforming a visual task, such as identifying the tank, is discussed.
