This document contains the results of a US Air Force contracted study to examine some of the Man-Machine Interface (MMI) implications of the Automated Tactical Aircraft Launch and Recover System (ATALARS) concept. Between 1982 and 1986, under the sponsorship of the Electronic Systems Division, Hanscom AFB, Air Traffic Control survivability studies were conducted. These studies examined the major issues relating to ATC in a tactical wartime environment and identified a need for long rang planning with survivability as the major thrust. The ATALARS concept evolved out of these efforts. Concepts, requirements, and design analyses were further defined in the Advanced Air Traffic Control Concept Study report prepared by ARINC Research Corporation, and Vanguard Research Incorporated. This report focus on four aspects of the MMI requirement: 1) The controller's display requirements (e.g. size, resolution, number of colors); 2) The controller's terminal, specifically display manipulation devices and hardware aspects of database input/output; 3) Display manipulation software functions, primarily utility functions and to a lesser extent application functions; and 4) The pilot's display requirements.
