This research and development effort was directed to the design and proof-of-concept demonstration of a dynamic tactical situation display (TSD) applicable to an advanced conceptual bomber crew system. The TSD provides a primary source of mission pacing and situational awareness information in the Strategic Avionics Battle-Management Evaluation and Research (SABER) exploratory development simulator at the Human Engineering Division of the Armstrong Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory. Four levels of situational awareness information are supported by SABER: (1) conventional paper products, (2) digitized (softcopy) versions of these hardcopy materials, (3) dynamic graphic representation of horizontal situation, and (4) horizontal situation display with digital terrain elevation and cultural feature underlay. The TSD described in this paper is being applied in the SABER simulation facility to support research directed to the optimization of the bomber crew system in the context of future mission requirements.
