A head-up display system as used by an aircraft commander must provide a simulation of the real-world exterior to his vehicle, and, at the same time, represent any change in his attitude with respect to a predetermined segment of this real world. In the particular case of an aircraft landing approach, one can characterize the pilot's view of the aircraft carrier and its subsequent variations into six degrees of freedom. The display must provide the view corresponding to the instantaneous values of these parameters and change as any one or more of the parameters change. This report describes the results of a continuation of the development work initiated in Phase I of the contract on displays of this type using sideband or carrier-frequency Fresnel holographic recorded images. The goals of Phase II were to study the various modes and techniques derived in Phase I and other possibilities, to select the approach that offered the best potential for use in Navy carrier-based aircraft and to build a laboratory model of this selected system. The selected approach uses a GaAs injection laser diode light source to interrogate a hologram of an aircraft carrier model. The real image from the hologram is optically relayed to a special IR vidicon, and the image is then transmitted electrically to a CRT monitor. (Author)
