Abstract:

A simulator which generated unattended ground sensor activations and target classification was developed and used in conjunction with a Thermal Recorder Display for a limited Human Factor Test to determine the usefulness of classification symbols in operator processing of sensor data. The resulting data indicates that these symbols do aid in classification and object discrimination. Author
