Book Description
The objective of the project was to provide a low-cost, reliable audio-video recording system (AVRS) for aircraft equipped with Head-Up Display (HUD) that would be capable of recording both the external real world cues through the aircraft's forward windscreen as well as the symbology of the HUD projected on the aircraft's combining glass. The ultimate objective is a research program to assess audio-video recording in HUD-equpped aircraft as both technique for improvement of training and as a tool for pilot proficiency assessment. Two A-7D aircraft were fitted with an AVRS constructed from low-cost, commercial equipment with a good record of reliability. The equipment was modified to make it compatible with the aircraft and its flight environment. The system proved capable of recording the symbology on the HUD, as well as resolving ground targets at normal altitudes and slant ranges encountered in the training environment. (Author).
