Abstract
This is the report of a study of examine the potential of raster scan pictorial displays for aircraft application. The scope of the effort was restricted to four mission segments for both normal and steep gradient vehicles for one- or two-place aircraft. The mission segments are: (1) Take off, (2) climb out, (3) point to point navigation, and (4) landing. The program was divided into two phases; (1) The analysis of the potential of pictorial displays and, (2) The definition of the associated sensor and data processing requirements. The study was conducted with no particular avionics system or aircraft in mind with the result that the report that follows deals with generic problems rather than the tradeoff and design issues specific to a particular system.
