Large-Screen Tactical Display Systems for Training Devices.

To provide a solution to the problem of tactical displays in training devices, a study was made of several large-screen display systems not known to be used in training devices, and a state-of-the-art review performed for possible short-and long-term solutions. From the present projection system, an objective performance specifiction for a large-screen display was developed and the data compared to determine replacement system or systems. Of the seven major systems reviewed and compared to the specification, only three met the requirements PCCRTfilm, PCCRTglass and PClaserfilm with a fourth PClaserglass that could be added although not in development. Both CRT and laser systems could serve as short-term solutions however, since the laser systems are not fully proven and were rejected in a previous study, it was concluded that the CRT should be the medium used.
