Simulation of a Model Tank Gunnery Test
Abstract
This report describes the activities conducted during Phase II of a project devoted to the development of methods for assessing tank crew marksmanship performance. An earlier report on Phase I (ARI report TR 78-A24, ADA061153) presented methods for the development of a criterion-referenced test of marksmanship. This effort led to the specification of a model livefire test of tank crew gunnery, together with scoring and test administration procedures for determining crew qualification. The present effort was aimed at evaluating the feasibility of assessing crew gunnery through the use of simulated, rather than livefired, test exercises. Thirty-nine simulator devices were evaluated; two were identified as viable candidates for use in a simulated test. The analytic methodology is described, and a proposed simulated model test is presented. The report concludes with a discussion of the evaluation procedures that are required if the simulated model test is to be considered for use as a substitute for the livefire test.
