In response to conclusions from the 2017 Comprehensive Review of Recent Surface Force Incidents, the goal of Naval Sea Systems Commands Surface Ship Readiness and Sustainment Program Office, PMS 443s Bright Lighting Assessment effort is to support development, acquisition, and fielding of display hardware in environments where low-level lighting and operator dark adaptation is a concern. This includes the development of requirements recommendations to support effective operational performance in a low light or darken ship bridge environment. Supporting operational performance includes balancing the needs for legible displays with adequate contrast, limiting overall brightness to facilitate dark-adapted vision, and reducing overall ambient lighting in the environment. In addition to night use, displays must also be suitable for the range of lighting conditions present during daytime operations. The foundation for these requirements is the Ship Bridge Design section of MIL-STD-1472H. Those requirements, however, are characterized in terms of end-state operational performance, including operational lighting conditions and specific display content, and therefore were adapted for use in hardware acquisition and selection. The requirements were further refined through lessons learned from pier-side and underway shipboard observations and laboratory tests, adoption of applicable aviation lighting requirements, and review of requirements for current and developmental bridge system hardware. Seven categories of requirements were developed to support bridge hardware acquisition and selection: minimum display luminance, maximum display luminance, luminance and chromaticity uniformity, display contrast, glare, brightness controls, and indicator and backlit controls. Any display, regardless of its specific operational function, can be assessed with these requirements for its suitability for use on the bridge and other shipboard spaces requiring dark-adapted operators.
