This research effort was conducted to determine visual strategies of F-15 pilots during air-to-air combat through the use of an eye tracking system. This type of work helps simulator designers define field-of-view requirements for simulators. While an increase in field of view size produces a more realistic scenario for the pilots, it results in a decrease in brightness and resolution levels, and increases the cost. Six F-15 pilots flew offensive, defensive, neutral, and mutual support set-ups in the Simulator for Air-to-Air Combat (SAAC) at three different altitudes. Analyses show that the visual strategies and window usage vary greatly among the four set-ups. Before final conclusions are made concerning field-of-view requirements during air-to-air tasks, this experiment should be partially replicated using electronic masking.
