Janair: Joint Army-Navy Aircraft Instrumentation Research. Analysis of Pictorial Displays

摘要

During the past quarter, the work has centered around four main topics: (1) The conception of the pilot's job as a set of hierarchal tasks. (2) The development of a model for target recognition in literal pictorial displays. (3) The development of a graded series of landing and low level flight hypothetical pictorial displays. (4) The generation of data to fill in the cells on the chart described in the first quarterly report (AD-606 705). None of these tasks has been completed, so a full discussion will be deferred until the time they are sufficiently developed to warrant substantive treatment. Because the topics are not completely developed, progress will be described only in broad outline.
