Maximizing
situational awareness.

A practical brief for EO/IR sensor operators, tactical flight officers, and the people who train them — written from twenty years of building the simulators these crews qualify on.

• Cognitive discipline — how attention degrades over a long orbit, and what holds it together.
• Crew coordination — the pilot-operator exchanges that decide whether a track is held or lost.
• Pattern recognition — building the visual library that separates a competent operator from a fast one.
• Stress and fatigue — the measurable effect on sensor performance, and how to train against it.
• Common pitfalls — the recurring errors we see in crews arriving for recurrent training.
• Where simulation fits — the specific skills that transfer from the ground, and the ones that do not.
