VSAT

Visual Evaluation (Vis-Eval) is an operational evaluation to: (1) determine trainability of operational mission tasks with available visual system technology; (2) demonstrate current visual simulation technology to operational users; (3) obtain feedback from operational pilots to help define future visual requirements; and (4) provide information and data to support future simulation acquisition decisions.  VSAT's approach is based  on the Vis-Eval Program that was created by USAF to evaluate the adequacy of latest state-of-the-art visual systems and in particular, image display technology to support combat training.

Each evaluation mission consists of a set of suggested events (Air to Surface, Air to Air, formation, threat reaction, etc.) to evaluate the tasks and subtasks in a mission context. Evaluation team pilots develop mission segments to be used during the evaluation. Pilots are organized into teams. Each team is briefed and flies each mission as a team. After each mission, pilots individually rate each task and subtask using a rating scale and then fill out a questionnaire which are subsequently used as the basis for an individual debriefing.

Engineering data is also collected and analyzed as part of visual evaluation with emphasis placed on the visual display, image generator (IG), and data base.

VSAT personnel are thoroughly familiar with the visual evaluation process having been responsible for conducting three  programs including two different helmet mounted displays and a rear projected screen matrixed display.
