INCREASING ASW HELICOPTER EFFECTIVENESS THROUGH COMMUNICATIONS TRAINING.

Abstract

The verification of a prior factor analysis of communications, as a component of effective ASW helicopter performance, is described. Three of four previously isolated communications factors were found 'congruent' with factors which emerged from the present study. A course, emphasizing the employment of the verified factors (as well as one additional factor) was developed, administered, and evaluated. The results indicated that participants in the course were significantly superior to a control group from the point of view of several operational criteria. These results are interpreted to suggest the utility and power of the course. Suggestions for fuller implementation of the course are presented. (Author)
