CONCLUSIONS 

PRESENT APPROACH TO SIMULATION CONTRAST CONTROL VERY 

CONSERVATIVE YET ACTIVITY INDICATORS WELL ABOVE DETECTION 

THRESHOLD 

MAJOR PROBLEM IS INFORMATION ASSESSMENT RATHER 

THAN VISUAL ACUITY 

o MOST DESIRABLE TO OBTAIN y = 1 GAMBIT POSITIVE TRANSPARENCIES 

FOR SUBSEQUENT SIMULATIONS TO GET PROPER CONTRAST RENDITION 

- LOGISTICS PROBLEM VS. SIMULATION FIDELITY 

o USE OF AIRCRAFT TO OBTAIN QUANTITATIVE VALIDATION OF GROUND
