Abstract
The work described herein was part of continuing
research in the area of computer aided information management and display as applied to air operations on an aircraft
carrier. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the
Hughes CONOGRAPHIC-12 Graphics Display Terminal in a computer
graphics-aided aircraft information handling system. The
approach taken in this study was to implement a realistic
aircraft information handling system on a Digital Equipment
Corporation PDP-11/50 minicomputer within the conventions of
the C programming language and the UNIX operating system at
the Naval Postgraduate School Computer Laboratory.
The study includes a description of previous efforts in
the area, a description of the CONOGRAPHIC-12 hardware and
the software written to evaluate the display terminal. The
study also includes an evaluation of the CONOGRAPHIC-12
display terminal as both a dynamic interactive display terminal
and a repeater-only terminal at six representative
stations.
