Detailed Design Specification for Product 6: Personnel Characteristics Requirements Aid

Abstract

The U.S. Army Research Institute (ARI) is developing a set of a software-based aids for the evaluation of weapons system designs in terms of manpower and personnel requirements. This report is a detailed design specification for software that will determine the operator and maintainer characteristics required to achieve a given weapons system's criterion performance. This specification includes a statistical analysis of ARI's Project A data base, equations that link scores on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) to performance on tasks, and the interface design of the aid itself. Although the development of this design has not been funded, the design specification may prove useful for other projects. Keywords: Manpower and Personnel Integration (MANPRINT), Design evaluation, Human performance.
