The Development of Combat Related Measures for Small Arms Evaluation

Abstract

The US Army Infantry Board has undertaken a study to develop improved small arms test methodology. The study focused on the rifleman and his weapon as a system. All combat actions in which this man/weapon system are expected to participate as well as the combat tasks required of the system were established. General categories of system effectiveness were developed and then further defined as discrete measures of effectiveness. (Modified author abstract)
