Design of a MANPRINT Tool for Predicting Personnel and Training Characteristics Implied by System Design

Abstract

This report describes the development and design specifications for a software-based aid for Army system designers. The purpose of the aid is to evaluate a system design by determining the operator and maintainer characteristics required by that design to reach criterion system performance levels. The aid is an analytical, simulation-based approach that will predict the impact on total system performance of individual differences in cognitive and psychomotor performance and of new system technologies. The specification describes a system based on the Human Operator Simulator (HOS) IV. In this approach, HOS performance micromodels are to be built from the Army Research Institute's (ARI) Project A predictor data. Although the design specification described herein is not being developed any further by ARI, it may prove useful for other projects.
