The purpose of this research was to investigate the practicality of a helmet-mounted sight as an operational element in a quick-reaction bore-sighting system. A three-phase experimental program was conducted to determine the human capabilities with the helmet-mounted sight. In a laboratory environment sighting accuracies were obtained on both static and moving targets. Field test data were obtained during high-speed, low-altitude flights. The series of tests indicated that the accuracy of the sighting process can be expected to vary between a fraction of a degree and four degrees depending on target angular rate and the target sighting angle.
