Construction of an Experimental Selection Battery for Armor Systems.

Abstract

Future tactical warfare will require highly mobile and concentrated firepower and increased mobility and dispersion of personnel. To provide the requisite firepower, mobility, and shock action, armor capabilities have been improved and augmented through the development of increasingly complex armament and guidance systems. These systems will make greater demands upon the men who must maintain and operate them. Such human factor problems as confinement, heat, noise, isolation, fatigue, associated with armored vehicle operations will be intensified. In recognition of these problems, USCONARC generated a requirement for human factors research in fighting vehicle operations with the objective of developing ways and means of optimizing the performance of personnel within fighting vehicle systems.
