Error Analysis of Unattended Ground Sensor Operators' Reports.

Abstract

Recent field exercises have provided unattended ground sensor (UGS) activation data from sensors employed in grid arrays. Use of grid arrays has provided increased flexibility to the UGS program, but also has created new problems. Recent research has shown a relatively high frequency of errors committed by the UGS operator while monitoring grid arrays. The limited amount of training introduced has proven successful in improving operator performance. However, a need for further refinement has been recognized. In order to improve grid array monitoring performance, it has been necessary to expand our knowledge concerning grid arrays and to utilize experience gained from the previous research. The initial step in this process was an error analysis of UGS operator performance data collected from previous studies. This error analysis will help establish the goals and objectives of the training effort planned as a major project.
