A SURVEY OF CHECKOUT EQUIPMENT USED IN AIR FORCE WEAPON SYSTEMS, WITH EMPHASIS ON THE MAN-MACHINE RELATIONSHIP

Abstract

Engineering files of 13 Air Force weapon systems were searched for information on the various types of checkout equipment in use by the Air Force today. In this search, emphasis was placed on the man-machine relationships involved in the operation of the equipment. The information was used in developing a tentative Level-of-Automation scale; and 37 items of checkout equipment w re rated on this scale. Checkout equipment problem areas which should be investigated are identified. (Author)
