A Model for the Target Tracking Ability of a Human Operator in an AAA System.

摘要

Combined analytic and experimental efforts have expanded our understanding of human information processing and control behavior in target tracking tasks. The research has focused on quantifying the human's 'internal' submodel that characterizes his perception of short-term target motion, and on incorporating this construct into the broad-based Optimal Control Model of human response. The final product represents the state-of-the-art with regard to human operator modeling in dynamic Anti-Aircraft Artillery (AAA) systems. Data-vs.-model comparisons of tracking error statistics show that the model can be used with confidence in treating arbitrary target flybys, single-vs.-dual axis tracking loops, visual image cues, and even the effects of temporary visual obscuration. A separate experimental effort studied manned AAA system performance with displayed tracer stream and lead-angle information. (Author)
