Army Pointing and Tracking Test Methodology.

Abstract

In the latter half of calendar year 1975, the mobile test unit pointer/tracker underwent extensive performance testing with a low power helium- neon in lieu of a high power CO2 laser. The objectives of this test program were to obtain data on overall system pointing and tracking performance, to correlate these data with subsystem performance characteristics, and to evaluate the man/machine interaction. The purpose of this document is to detail the methodology underlying the conduct of this effort. (Author)
