During three training sessions 12 U.S. Army male volunteers used a laboratory constructed laser designator to track a 1.35th scale model tank. The model traversed a fixed course located 5 m from the pivot point of the designator. The optics and mechanical response of the designator was adjusted to simulate an engagement of 2 km. Each of three training sessions was comprised of 15 trials (all trials lasted 10-12 sec) at 5.0 mrad/sec velocity and 15 at 7.5 mrad/sec.
