Human Engineering Laboratory Aviation Supply Class III/V Materiel (HELAVS III/V) Field Test
Abstract
The experimental objective was to obtain human performance data on helicopter refueling and rearming procedures. The data consisted of time measurements while refueling the helicopter and rearming the HELLFIRE missiles and 2.75-inch rockets. The experiment addressed the effects of crew size, day/ night operations, and chemical/biological protective equipment on the refueling and rearming operations. A second objective was to develop test methodologies which could be applied to the Aviation Performance Assessment in a Chemical Environment (APACHE) field study. An additional objective was to evaluate the Division '86 Table of Organization and Equipment (TOE) staffing levels related to FARP operations. This data will assist the US Army Training and Doctrine Command in developing realistic TOEs for future attack helicopter units. It can be concluded that all three conditions evaluated did have an impact on rearming and refueling times. The crew-size change appears to have the most impact, followed by the day/night condition, and then the wearing of CB protective clothing.
