Abstract: One of the primary requirements in many cyber-physical systems (CPS) is that the sensor data derived from the physical world should be disseminated in a timely and reliable manner to all interested collaborative entities. However, providing reliable and timely data dissemination services is especially challenging for CPS since they often operate in highly unpredictable environments. Existing network middleware has limitations in providing such services.

Summary: This paper provided a brief overview of the experimental proximity operations HUD developed at LRT. It then proceeded to describe the evaluation experiments conducted to determine which HUD configuration is most beneficial for operator performance. The results of these experiments are discussed and some conclusions are drawn for future development and research work. Furthermore, the adapta- tions of the HUD made when incorporating it into the Third Eye situation awareness enhancement operator interface are detailed.
