A Preliminary MANPRINT Evaluation of the All Source Analysis (ASAS)
Abstract
The All Source Analysis System (ASAS) is being designed to provide commanders with a transportable, semiautomatic, tactical intelligence system capable of producing an integrated picture of the battlefield. The object of this limited evaluation was to provide data useful to ASAS developers. To that end, the report presents the findings of a limited MANPRINT evaluation of the ASAS conducted during operational testing in November and December 1986. Questionnaires addressing the six MANPRINT domains were administered to all operators and their immediate supervisors. Questionnaires on system functions were given to personnel supervisors and to observers. Operators were interviewed at the end of the trials. Workspace and physical measurements were obtained in the Forward Sensor Interface and Control work-shelter module to assess their compliance with appropriate human factor engineering standards. The collection of meaningful data was severely hampered by security, equipment, and organizational restrictions. Keywords: MANPRINT(Manpower And Personnel Integration); AIM(ASAS Interface Module); Man machine systems; Intelligence support system; Human factors engineering.
