Four radar control configurations were evaluated for a target acquisition and tracking task as part of a research program directed to control simplification. Control variables included type of control action (displacement or force), location (integrated into throttles or independent), and personal equipment (gloves or no gloves). The four controls were compared for a simulated air-to-ground weapons delivery mission with two navigation segments and a target tracking phase. Sixteen pilots served as subjects in the study. The experimental task was performed in a part-task simulator, employing a PDP-12 general purpose digital computer, a fixed-base crew station configured to resemble an attack aircraft, and the necessary interface software and equipment. Target acquisition and tracking data, time-on-target, and flight command deviations for pitch and roll attitude and airspeed control were recorded. (Modified author abstract)
