Advanced Integrated Multi-Sensor Surveillance (AIMS. Operator Machine Interface (OMI) Definition Study
Abstract
To enhance the capability of airborne search and rescue (SAR) and surveillance, particularly at night and in poor weather, a multi sensor electro optical imaging system, the Advanced Integrated Multi sensor Surveillance (AIMS) system, is being developed by Defence Research & Development Canada. The AIMS system is advanced through active gated capability and the integration of five sensors into a single gimbal. As such, the system will support a myriad of missions for both the CP 140 and FWSAR communities including timely SAR response and ground surveillance in aid of the Land Forces (LF). To ensure optimal performance the AIMS system requires an appropriate interface and controls, the design of which must realize the interaction between technological capability and operator performance. This document, prepared by CAE Professional Services on behalf of Defence Research and Establishment Canada, presents preliminary design concepts and associated rationale for the AIMS Operator Machine Interface (OMI). The intent is to provide a framework for the future evolution of the AIMS OMI as well as identify areas for investigation.
