Abstract:

Target detection performance was determined for a sonar PPI display, for a radar PPI display, and for both when mounted adjacently and monitored concurrently. It was found that a penalty is paid in detection performance when the displays are monitored concurrently. This penalty is most marked in the first quarter of a 72-minute watch in the last three quarters of such a watch the penalty is considerably smaller. Author
