Abstract:
Investigations were made of digitalhybrid devices which would assist air traffic controllers of USAF mobile ATC detachments. The scope of the investigations encompassed 2 complementary programs 1 development of simple, effective techniques for improving the quality of service provided by a mobile RAPCON and 2 evaluation of the special requirements of a mobile air traffic control facility. Phase I effort was directed primarily toward 1 development of techniques or equipments to replace the grease pencils and other manual procedures employed at existing RAPCONs 2 evaluation of various means to augment information available to the PPI display and 3 evaluation of RAPCON communications channel selection and control equipments. Phase II was initiated with a comprehensive study of anticipated air traffic environments through the period ending in 1970. Author
