EVALUATING NAVIGATOR PROFICIENCY BY DUPLICATION SIMULATION.
Abstract
The central theme of this thesis involves that of universally standardizing the entire body of current navigation practice using modern Industrial Engineering methods. Only the first step in the procedure is actually demonstrated to be feasible, i.e., the new technique of evaluating navigator proficiency in selected areas using duplication simulation. The practical significance of these tentative probings, together with speculation as to how an extensive long-range research program should be conducted, are discussed at length. Finally, assuming that such an investigation as that proposed could be carried out, the numerous valuable benefits which would accrue to a military manager are explained in detail. Since the subject matter involves United States Air Force activities, details bordering on security areas are not discussed and certain technical data have been used which are purposely not current; however, these two minor limitations do not in any way affect the techniques demonstrated, nor do they affect the conclusions drawn.
