Crew Station and Skill Level Assessments for the MICV/ARSV Turret

Abstract

Field units of the Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) perform research involving field experimentation and validation, human factors support and product utilization services, and assessment of military requirements. The ARI Field Unit at Fort Knox, Kentucky, is primarily concerned with performance motivation in training and evaluation of Armor personnel, including crew performance variables in the training school and center environment. The present research investigation is a research analysis of turret crew functions in the Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle/Armored Reconnaissance Scout Vehicle (MICV/ARSV) during contact with the enemy, designed to determine the optimum turret crew size and the minimum crew skill levels at which the patrol or squad leader can exercise command and reconnaissance functions. The work was initiated in response to a request by the ARSV Task Force, Fort Knox, in August 1975, under Army Project 2Q763743A773.
