Benefits of Color Coding Weapons Symbology for an Airborne Helmet-Mounted Display
نویسندگان
چکیده
We assessed the advantages of a color-coded weapons symbology for a helmet-mounted display over monochrome symbology by measuring military pilots' performance while they flew air-to-air combat in a simulator. The pilots fired missiles significantly sooner without sacrificing probability of kill when using the color-coded symbology, demonstrating a substantial practical benefit of color. Actual or potential applications of this work include the design of color codes for helmet-mounted and other displays that use complex symbology to assist performance on cognitively challenging tasks.

Helmet-mounted display targeting symbology color coding:An air-to-air scenario evaluation
Laboratory and flight test evaluations have consistently demonstrated the potential for helmet-mounted display (HMD) presented information to enhance air combat performance. The Air Force Research LaboratoryÕs (AFRLÕs) Helmet-Mounted Sight Plus (HMS+) program seeks to provide further enhancement by enabling the presentation of multi-color symbology and sensor imagery. To take proper advantage o...
متن کاملIntegration of a helmet-mounted display for helicopter operations in degraded visual environment: a human factors perspective
Helicopter operations in degraded visual environment (DVE), especially brownout/whiteout landings often result in severe incidents and accidents in the civil and military field. In fact, landing in desert environment is the most dangerous aspect of flying in combat helicopters according to the USAF. The integration of a helmet-mounted display (HMD) can help the pilot to maintain situation aware...
متن کاملThe Okcr and Pilot Performance during Transitions between Meteorological Conditions Using Hmd Attitude Symbology
Research has shown that spatial disorientation often occurs when pilots transition between real-world visual cues and head-down attitude instruments. Recent studies investigating the opto-kinetic cervical reflex (OKCR) indicate that when pilots transition between these two types of visual cues, they are also transitioning between frames of reference. Limited research has been conducted investig...

As monocular head-mounted displays (HMDs) are introduced into existing flight simulators for training and mission rehearsal it will be important to determine whether binocular rivalry affects the visibility of HMD presented symbology or the out-the-window (OTW) flight simulator display imagery. In the present study, we examined whether rivalry suppression could be objectively measured under con...
متن کاملAFRL-HE-AZ-TP-2007-08 Visual suppression of monocularly presented symbology against a fused background in a simulation and training environment
When wearing a monocular head-mounted display (HMD), one eye views the HMD symbology while both eyes view an out-the-window scene. This may create interocular differences in image characteristics that could disrupt binocular vision by provoking visual suppression, thus reducing visibility of the background scene, monocular symbology, or both. However, binocular fusion of the background scene ma...
