AIMSsim Version 2.3.4 - System Manual

Abstract

This system manual provides an overview of software developed to support the empirical investigation of a simulated user interface for an Advanced Integrated Multisensor 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 permit evaluating design concepts. The latest development phase added sensor controller options and a configurable display interface for evaluating interface design concepts.
