Research was undertaken to analytically predict strafing accuracy of the F-4C aircraft with an experimental high gain control augmentation system incorporated. A model of the pilot-aircraft is formulated which relates pilot tracking performance to overall strafing accuracy. This model permits realistic determination of the essential flight control system dynamic performance characteristics. Projectile impact error is expressed in terms of errors in the task variables which are directly under the pilot's control. Mathematical representations of the aircraft, the control system dynamics, the turbulence environment, and the human pilot are used to estimate the tracking error contribution. (Author)
