Military Organizations and Systems: Human Factors Research Projects

Abstract

This report summarizes five research efforts conducted between May 1976 and May 1977 at Fort Hood, Texas and dealing with aspects of the field assessment of human performance factors in developmental military systems. Separate reports provide more detail for each effort: (1) Study of target Handoff Techniques, ARI TR-78-A34, investigated the verbal interchange in simulated ground-to-air and air-to-ground target handoffs. (2) A Study of Selected Problems in Armor Operations, ARI TR-78-A35, investigated target acquisition performance and internal temperatures in buttoned-up tanks; escape modes; and crew effectiveness measures. (3) Problems in Helicopter Gunnery, ARI TR-78-A36, investigate distance recognition of target vehicles. (4) Statistical Analysis of the Fort Hood Quality-of-Life Questionnaire, ARI Research Memorandum 78-25, tabulated variables, analyses, and computer correlations (available directly from the Army Research Institute). (5) The Detection Ranges of Features of Armored Vehicles, ARI TR-78-A37, investigated the actual ranges at which specific identification of target vehicles can be made.
