Study of Crew Performance Measurement for High-Performance Aircraft Weapon System Training: Air-to-Air Intercept.
Abstract
A study was undertaken to develop performance measurement and methods for deriving performance measurement for F-4J air-to-air intercept training in an envisioned adaptive and automated training environment. It was found that a combined analytic--empirical test method was mandatory for defining measurement for adaptive training. The functional relationships between measures, the tasks and the adaptive variables must be known in order to properly design an adaptive logic. Single measure feedback control for adaptive training of multi-dimensional tasks did not appear feasible. A simplified method to handle multi-dimensional measurement based on tolerance bands was suggested. Using this approach a set of candidate measures for the Pilot, for the Radar Intercept Officer, and for the Crew composed of both were analytically derived. Further tests of the measures were recommended. It was concluded from a measurement viewpoint that an automated weapon system trainer was feasible provided that empirical tests of the measurement relationships to the task and adaptive variables are conducted. All measurement algorithms must be tested throughout the entire operating range because idiosyncratic behavior of the trainee cannot be predicted by analysis. (Author)
