Target evaluation judgments in anti-tank helicopter operations were studied using policy capturing. The subjects were Swedish Army helicopter pilots with different levels of experience of anti-tank helicopters and a group of helicopter mechanics. The results showed that the cues 'tactical importance of target' and 'clarity' received high weights while the cue 'distance to target' received weight near zero. It is possible that pilots pay only small attention to 'distance' due to confidence in the weapon system as long as it is operated within its normal range.
