A Computer Simulation to Predict Target Identification Latencies,

Abstract

As part of an ongoing program to develop computer models of human performance (MOPADS, Model of Operator Performance in Air Defense Systems), a computer model was developed to predict the target identification latencies of human observers. The model predicts these latencies as a function of one or more relevant independent variables. The values of these variables can be defined by the user (e.g., number of observers, observer's time on task) or be provided from an ongoing simulation of an air defense scenario (e.g., distance to target, target speed).
