helmet-mounted display. The experiment was conducted in a six degree of
freedom motion base simulator with an emulated helmet-mounted display.
Highly experienced pilot subjects performed precision head-pointing
tasks while manually flying a visual flight-path tracking task. Four
schemes using adaptive and low-pass filtering of the head motion were
evaluated to determine their effects on task performance and pilot
workload in the presence of whole-body vibration characteristic of
helicopter flight. The results indicate that, for tracking tasks
involving continuously moving targets, improvements of up to 70 percent
can be achieved in percent on-target dwelling time and of up to 35
percent in rms tracking error, with the adaptive plus low-pass filter
configuration. The results with the same filter configuration for the
task of capturing randomly-positioned, stationary targets show an
increase of up to 340 percent in the number of targets captured and an
improvement of up to 24 percent in the average capture time. The
adaptive plus low-pass filter combination was considered to exhibit the
best overall display dynamics by each of the subjects.

AB- Experiments were conducted to evaluate night vision goggles (NVGs) for
their effectiveness in detecting small targets at night. Three types of
NVGs were evaluated: the AN/AVS-6 Aviators Night Vision Imaging System
(ANVIS) NVG was tested onboard Coast Guard HH-3 and CH-3 helicopters,
and the AN/PVS-5C and AN/PVS-7A NVGs were tested onboard 41-foot Coast
Guard utility boats. During the spring 1990 experiments, simulated
persons in the water wearing orange personal floatation devices,
retroreflective tape, and either a green personnel marker light or a
red safety light; 4- and 6-person life rafts with and without
retroreflective tape; and 18- and 21-foot white boats were employed as
targets during realistically-simulated search missions. A total of 1355
target detection opportunities were generated for the above-mentioned
target types during four experiments. These data were analyzed to
determine which of 25 search parameters of interest exerted a
statistically-significant influence on target detection probability.
Lateral range curves and sweep width estimates are developed for each
search unit/target type combination. Human factors data are presented
and discussed. Recommendations for conducting NVG searches for small
targets are provided.
