Abstract
Maintaining persistent stare of a target with a remotely piloted aircraft (RPAA) sensor is a challenging task, made more difficult in an urban environment where buildings obstruct the moving aircraft’s view. This study used augmented reality (AR) to help operators make fast, accurate decisions regarding which sensor views were not obstructed when following a moving target through an urban environment. In addition, the study investigated the impact of dedicated sensor screens. The use of the AR produced increased objective performance and increased subjective preference; however, the addition of dedicated sensor views did not significantly increase objective performance but did reduce workload and were more desirable.
