Abstract

Northrop´s 1992 Advanced Crewstation Integration Cockpit (ACIC ´92) has integrated full and rapid configurability with prototype or actual flight-qualified display hardware (cathode ray tubes and liquid crystal displays). Coupled with its updated acrodynamic threat, sensor, and weapons system simulation, an extremely comprehensive test and performance evaluation system is made available to the crewstation designer. The ACIC ´92 allows creation and implementation of novel and task-specific measurement of performance that allow near-optimization of candidate designs. The ACIC ´92 retains the small footprint and single-man operation of the previous unit. Specific applications and problem solutions generated by the ACIC ´92 are addressed
