Abstract
This report identifies and discusses factors affecting human performance in tracking and watchkeeping (vigilance) tasks, and makes recommendations towards improving the performance of such systems. Whenever these recommendations are the direct outgrowth of published research, the appropriate studies are cited. Other recommendations have been developed by the authors from their own experiences. The report is divided into three main parts: General Information, Important Design Factors in Closed-Loop Systems, Human Time Lags. A table of contents and a subject index are provided as aids to the user.
