Human Engineering for Australia's F/A-18 Night Vision Capability
Squair, M.J.
The F/A-18 Night Vision Capability project consisted of
the modification of F/A-18 displays and cockpit lighting
to be compatible with acquired AN/AVS-9G Night
Vision Goggles (NVG). Aircraft lighting compatibility
has been identified as a significant factor in a number of
military aircraft accidents involving the use of NVG. As a
result, careful consideration of the interaction of lighting
system design, visual perception and human error is
essential to assure safe and effective NVG operations.
This paper describes the cockpit lighting modification
and the design process used to develop an optimally
integrated system.
