M60A1 AOS Tank Gunnery Data Handbook
Abstract
This report briefly reviews the methods used in developing a model test of tank crew marksmanship and presents the detailed task analysis data base developed in the course of that effort. Descriptions are included of 266 job objectives that represent all of the ways an M60A1AOS tank is capable of engaging a threat target under current doctrine. Each objective is described in terms of the conditions of the engagement and the precise behaviors which each crew member must perform. The objectives are organized into clusters which are homogeneous in content, thus facilitating the use of the data base for development of training programs, design and evaluation of training devices, and test development. Also included are computing algorithms and program listings for measuring certain characteristics of engagements, including behavioral generalizability (the extent to which performance on one specific engagement may predict performance on others) and behavioral coverage (the extent to which all possible tank crew behaviors are represented by a subset of engagements).
