HUMAN FACTORS IN THE DESIGN OF SUBMARINE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS.
Abstract
The increased speed and maneuverability of modern submarines demand extremely efficient communications. The present report is concerned with improving the flow of information between the various compartments on Fleet and Guppy submarines. The emphasis is upon the optimum design and use of communication circuits. Valuable information was obtained from a communications questionnaire, responded to by all 44 active submarines in the Atlantic Fleet. Additional evidence was collected through extensive observations, sound recordings, and interviews. The data were analyzed to determine (1) the essential communications during various phases of operation, (2) the extent to which current procedures satisfy these requirements, and (3) the changes and improvements which are needed.
