Description / Abstract:
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) contains methods
used to measure the optical performance of airborne binocular Head
Up Displays (HUDs). This document covers methods for conformal and
non-conformal HUD systems that are intended for use in the cockpit
by the pilot or copilot. The focus of this document is on displays
that generate the HUD information using a cathode ray tube (CRT),
however, the majority of the methods can be applied to other
display technologies. These measurement methods are provided for
testing to the requirements of AS8055.
This document does not address measurement methods for sensor
imaging systems, or displays worn by the pilot (goggles, helmet
mounted displays).
