Abstract :
A number of radar steering display designs utilizing the moving-airplane principle were compared with the standard Air Force moving-horizon display in a series of simulator experiments. Significant improvement in tracking performance for military pilots with and without prior fire-control experience was found for a display which incorporated rate feedback and pursuit tracking features in addition to the moving-aircraft principle. Results of smaller-scale tests with naive and relatively inexperienced subjects are also reported.
