Abstract: In all applications of simulation, especially in the fields of aircrew and manned-spaceflight training, it is universally accepted that the greatest single obstacle is the lack of visual displays of satisfactory realism. The recently developed Focus Projection and Scanning (FPS) vidicon provides an ideal means for generating the required high-definition signal. Incorporating new camera circuits and an experimental 2000-scan-line (30-frames/s) camera, the FPS is capable of about 5 arc min of resolution in a 60 × 60° field of view, with a resulting real-time simulation which closely approximates the “real world” visual situation. A description of this system is accompanied by quantitative test results and several photographs. At present, work is in progress to extend the system's capabilities upward by a factor of 2 to 2.5 to permit identical visual simulation acuity for a 120 to 150 × 60° field of view.
