Description of the Book:

This report has its basis in the Airborne Electronic Terrain Mapping System (AETMS), an aircraft mapping system based on an idea proposed by L.A. Tamburino and developed by the Air Force Avionics Laboratory. A constantly changing background provides the basis for an interesting investigation on the hypothesis that a dynamic background will distract the operator’s attention away from important details on the display. The software developed provides an overlay of symbols onto the terrain map generated by the AETMS and is contained in this report. A symbol and color set is suggested for the AETMS. An experiment to determine a master symbol and color set is suggested. The experiment suggests using both simple vector symbols and Fourier transformed symbols to help define the master set. (Author
