Task Analyses of Three Selected Weapons Systems.
Abstract
This research is part of a broader program on simulation. Training simulators reduce demands on limited resources and promise greater efficiency in both training and testing; however, no experimental evidence has compared performance resulting from simulator vs. live-fire training. The overall objective of this project was to determine the contribution of live firing of large caliber weapons to weapons proficiency. This study conducted task analyses to identify the critical performance requirements for three selected weapons systems, and to identify the commonalities and differences in tasks within the three major weapons systems and other weapons of a similar but somewhat different nature. The three weapons used were: The M60A1 Tank and its 105mm main gun; The 155mm Howitizer--Self propelled; and The 81mm Mortar. Among the topics included are: identification of mission profiles, development of task inventories, administration of the task inventories to job incumbents, and analyses of the results.
