A Research Program to Improve Techniques of Combat Communication,
Abstract
Despite advances in equipment technology in the communications field, voice communications will continue to play a major role in military operations over the foreseeable future. Even sophisticated transmission techniques are in many cases designed to yield a speech output, from which a listener is required to extract information. The overall goal of the COMBAT COMMUNICATIONS Task of the U.S. Army Personnel Research Office is to improve performance of communications operators in an operational environment. The original requirements for human factors studies in this area stemmed from operational problems encountered by the U.S. Army Security Agency, which was especially interested in transcription operations. It soon became evident that these and other related problems were general to most communications operations. These problems were of sufficient generality and scope to form the basis for organization of the present COMBAT COMMUNICATIONS Task which was established at the beginning of FY 1965.
