THE APPLICATION OF THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD IN ANALYZING THE MAN/WEAPON COMBINATION IN A COMBAT TEST ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

This paper deals with the application of operations research and systems analysis techniques to a test methodology study (COMBATEST) being conducted by the Infantry Board. The mission of the Infantry Board is to test and evaluate military equipment for the Army--with emphasis on that equipment which is designed for the infantryman. Since the Board tests equipment which will be used in combat, it conducts tests under conditions representing as nearly as possible those combat conditions soldiers may expect to find on the battlefield.
