Personnel Performance & Training
Abstract
This project matures and demonstrates advanced behavioral and social science technologies that enhance performance to ensure that the Warfighter keeps pace with the transformations in systems, weapons, equipment, and mission requirements to meet the goals of the operational force. These technologies provide key capabilities through training methods and techniques that prepare Soldiers and leaders to be effective in complex operational environments ; training methods to meet emerging skill requirements for institutional and unit training; as well as foster cognitive, behavioral, and psychological flexibility, adaptability, and mission readiness. Efforts include the evaluation of selection measures, the refinement of survey methodologies and performance metrics, the assessment of innovative training techniques, and the analysis of methods and tools to better adapt training to meet goals and requirements. Increased funding in FY12 for this project is based on work shifted from PE 0602785A due to need for increased focus on maturation and demonstration of selection techniques and tools as well as training methods. Efforts in this program element support the Army science and technology Soldier portfolio. Work in this project complements and is fully coordinated with 0603015A (Next Generation Training & Simulation Systems), 0602308A (Advanced Concepts and Simulation), PE 0602716A (Human Factors Engineering Technology) and PE 0602785A (Manpower/Personnel/Training Technology.) The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this project is performed by the US Army Research Institute (ARI) for the Behavioral and Social Sciences in Arlington, VA.
