Requirements for Target Identification Training for the Acoustic Sensor Operator.

Abstract

The unattended ground sensor (UGS) operator in the field has few opportunities for formal training, or structured practice in identifying vehicles using the acoustic sensor. Actual operator performance levels are unknown To assist in defining requirements, this research was designed to estimate the current performance level of operators under the ideal conditions of identifying vehicles traveling alone (not in convoys) using an acoustic sensor system with a high signal/noise ratio. In addition, the time required to identify a vehicle and the effects of additional training were investigated.
