Abstract
The Grumman F-14D fleet air superiority fighter represents a step forward in the application of integrated controls and displays to the reduction of the high workload in the multiple task operational environment. System requirements necessitate the implementation of an avionics display system that would present flight status information efficiently and in a manner most conducive to enhancing F-14D pilot and Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) performance. In order to accomplish this, Human Factors Engineers at Grumman Corporation elected to utilize multi-color Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing (CADAM) in the design and evaluation of the Weapon Status Panel, Head-Up and Multi-Function display systems. The multi-color CADAM was used because of its unique ability to present this information efficiently, realistically and at the earliest stage in the design phase. This paper discusses the rationale for using the color CADAM as a design and evaluation tool and presents examples of specific computer generated display formats for use in the F-14D tactical fighter cockpit avionics system.
