HARDMAN 2 Analysis Applied to the Forward Area Air Defense (FAAD) pedestal-Mounted Stinger (PMS)

Abstract

The Manned Systems Group of the U.S. Army Research Institute is responsible for developing analytical methods that support the Army's MANPRINT (Manpower and personnel Integration) initiative. This report addresses the trial application of one of these methods, an automated derivative of HARDMAN (hardware vs. Manpower) analysis called HARDMAN II, to the Army's Pedestal Mounted Stinger (PMS), a component of the Forward Area Air Defense (FAAD) system. The HARDMAN II analysis team had two objectives: to pilot test the analytical technique in a situation where critical input data are severely limited, and to demonstrate to proponents in the systems acquisition process the usefulness of HARDMAN II in generating workload-driven maintenance manpower estimates for a new weapon system. Both objectives were accomplished. Keywords: Guided missile personnel; Maintenance personnel workload; Army personnel training; Surface to air missiles; Air defense systems; Front-end analysis; Methodology.
