AIMSsim Version 2.3.4 - User Manual

Abstract

This user manual provides an overview of the software functionality developed to support the empirical investigation of a simulated user interface for an Advanced Integrated Multi-sensor Surveillance (AIMS) system (formerly known as the Enhanced Low-Light Level Visible and Infrared Surveillance System - ELVISS). The AIMS system is an electro-optical imaging system being developed by Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) - Valcartier to enhance the capability of search and rescue (SAR) crews to operate effectively at night and in degraded weather conditions. In order to ensure that a SAR operator would be able to use the system effectively and with a minimal amount of training, a prototype human-machine interface (HMI) was developed to evaluate design concepts. The latest development phase added sensor controller options and a configurable display interface for evaluating interface design concepts.
