The purpose of the present three year study is to identify the variables affecting FLIR target acquisition and to provide quantitative data on operator performance within the context of an aircraft attack mission. With a FLIR system, changes in display luminance represent changes in the level of emitted thermal energy received by the sensor. Perceptually, the situation is novel and complex as these heat differences are not visible to the naked eye, and generally, the observer has no prior experience evaluating them. Defining this basic research on FLIR target acquisition within the boundary conditions set up by the operational utilization of FLIR systems, will allow the data generated on perceptual processes to be directly applied to system design engineering, as well as providing target acquisition information for FLIR systems.
