Abstract

The control of high-speed aircraft is a demanding task in which rapid decisions, based on visually acquired information, must frequently be made. Glare, both direct and veiling, is a prime cause of visual degradation in flight. The visual effects of glare are discussed together with means of reducing its consequences. In addition, the visual sequelae of looking at a nuclear fireball are discussed together with means of providing protection.
