RADAR TRACKING ACCURACY AS A FUNCTION OF TRAINING AND TASK VARIABLES
Abstract
To evaluate the effect of selected training, personnel, and job factors on accuracy of angle tracking by radar operators, 36 subjects were briefly trained in tracking, half with simulated jamming and half without. Divided into four equal groups, they were tested with simulated targets having alternate headings of 1600 and 4800 mils. Results indicated that pattern and magnitude of tracking error differed as a function of target heading, and tracking errors tended to increase with task duration. Differences in GT aptitude within a score range of 90120 were not found to be related to accuracy of aided-rate azimuth tracking. (Author)
