Training and Human Factors Research in Military Systems. A Final Report

Abstract

This document summarizes the technical activities conducted by personnel of the Essex Corporation in support of the work performed by the U.S. Army Research Institute, Fort Hood Field Unit, from 1 December 1982 to 30 November 1987. Three major tasks were involved: (1) Human factors technical support was provided for 26 operational tests and evaluations, including tests of vehicles; weapons systems; communications systems; and command, control, and intelligence systems. (2) Training research was conducted on combat vehicle identification (CVI) training under the Target Acquisition and Analysis Training Systems (TAATS) project, including work on advanced thermal sight training and comparative media experimental studies for CVI materials. (3) Methodologies to improve human factors operational tests and evaluations were developed. Keywords: Training: Human factors: Operational test and evaluation: Combat vehicle identification (CVI): MANPRINT: Questionnaire development: Operator/ maintainer workload assessment.
