On the Validation of Radar Simulator Results

Abstract

When measurements and observations are made using a radar simulator, the researcher assumes that mariners behave in the same way, whether they are handling a simulator or a real ship. This paper, which was presented at an Ordinary Meeting of the Institute held in London on 22 April 1980, investigates whether this is a reasonable assumption.
