OPERATIONAL TRAINING RESEARCH ON EVALUATOR DECISION MAKING IN ANTI-AIR ARFARE.
Abstract
This report describes the results of a research effort focusing on threat evaluation and weapon assignment decision making by Ship and Force Evaluators in anti-air warfare (AAW). The major portion of the work was conducted in an operational training environment. A number of training research aids were developed and used as instructional, data collection, and problem exercise materials. These included 35-mm slide-projected AAW situations, self-administered static and dynamic AAWsituations in booklet form, programmed instruction texts, and biographical and interview forms. Briefly the study involved: (1) an assessment of current threat evaluation and weapon assignment training, (2) a preliminary investigation of the effectiveness of programmed instructional materials in supplementing classroom instruction, (3) the development of a method for quantitatively controlling the amount and nature of the information appearing in a tactical problem, (4) a determination of the relative contribution of individual experience vs. situational factors on decision making performance, and (5) an investigation of the relative effects of situational trend vs. no trend information on tactical decision making.
