Workload Evaluation of the C-27J Heads-Up Display

Abstract

This report contains the work conducted by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Applied Neuroscience Branch in support of the C-27J System Program Office. The requirement was for an assessment of the workload and situation awareness (SA) impacts of the original Heads-up Display (HUD) as compared to a proposed modification to enhance usability, while also assessing cockpit, display, and aircrew procedural workload and SA as part of Airworthiness certification. AFRL personnel completed this evaluation with pilots and aircraft from the 179th Airlift Wing, Ohio Air National Guard (ANG). The results indicate that pilot workload was unacceptably high during particular maneuvers even in these training sorties.
