The Department of Defense is currently working on a real-time combat situation display to be used in fighter aircraft cockpits. This study was performed to evaluate a proposed symbology set for real time combat situation displays in fighter aircraft. The primary objective was to compare pilot performance under two different coding conditions: shape coding only, and both color and shape coding. color coding was found to significantly reduce overall average response time, with this effect becoming more pronounced with increasing symbol density. The second purpose of the study was to compare performance differences among the symbol types for each of the three states (friendly, unknown, or hostile). Data on this topic is evaluated and possible explanations for discrepancies are noted.
