This project used the results of an initial examination of various types of aircraft indicator lighting systems and an evaluation of dial marking philosophies to construct 16 lighted indicator mockups. The mockups were constructed to facilitate subsequent investigations of indicator display and lighting requirements of U.S. Army aircraft on night missions, nap-of-the-earth flights, and flights utilizing night vision goggles. A simulated aircraft panel and a lighting control assembly were constructed for use with the mockups. Two additional tasks were also included in this project: a survey of the readability through night vision goggles of various types of displays which might be used in Army aircraft, and a measurement of the lighted intensities of various colors of fluorescent paint when illuminated by Aviation Red lighting.
