HUMAN FACTORS IN AIRMOBILITY

Abstract

The paper describes the general organization of the Army Human Factors and Social Science Research Program and its principal research agencies, and discusses current research activities of HumRRO Division No. 6 (Aviation). These activities include studies of prediction of aviator performance, systems engineering of aviation maintenance training, human information processing functions in aerial reconnaissance and surveillance systems, and aviation simulation and training device requirements. Selected human factors research areas of significance to Army airmobility during the 1970-1980 period are also discussed. These are grouped under problems related to airmobile operational considerations, hardware considerations, and human learning considerations.
