Abstract
As part of a team headed by the McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Company and including the Honeywell Systems and Research Division, we have investigated several advanced real-time viewing systems. The study was predicated upon human factors drivers that lead to specifications for several different types of systems. These include systems with 0.6 mr resolution and 170 degree(s) X 50 degree(s), 100 degree(s) X 50 degree(s), and 50 degree(s) X 50 degree(s) fields of view.
