An Investigation of Airborne Displays and Controls for Search and Rescue (SAR). Volume VII. Navy Combat SAR Avionics Capability Study (1972-1974 Era).

摘要

The report presents results of a study to assess the avionics capability of the present generation Navy combat search and rescue helicopters (HH-3A's). The study used interviews of experienced combat SAR pilots. Analyses were performed to evaluate the baseline HH-3A avionics and presently available avionic equipments against various search and environmental conditions. The most cost-effective improvement to the present HH-3A avionic capability for search and rescue was found to be Night-Vision Goggles for the pilot and a crew member. (Author)
