MANPRINT (Manpower and Personnel Integration) Evaluation: AN/TRC-170 Digital Troposcatter Radio System

Abstract

This document describes the Manpower and Personnel Integration (MANPRINT) Evaluation of the AN/TRC-170 Digital Troposcatter Radio System. The MANPRINT evaluation was conducted in support of the AN/TRC-170 Follow-On Operational Test and Evaluation (FOT&E) by the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI). The FOT&E was conducted by the U.S. Army Operational Test and Evaluation Agency (OTEA) at Fort Huachuca, AZ, from September 1986 through January 1987. The purpose of the MANPRINT Evaluation was to identify human factors engineering, system safety, health hazards, training, and manpower factors leading to refinements in the AN/TRC-170 system. The MANPRINT evaluation methodology included structured interviews, on-site observations of operations and maintenance, and measures of task performance times. There were 24 MANPRINT findings involving equipment assembly and disassembly, materials handling procedures, and safety during road marches.
