MANPRINT Methods Monograph: Aiding the Development of Manpower-Based System Evaluation
Abstract
The U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences is conducting a program to develop MANPRINT methods to successfully integrate Army personnel with weapon system hardware and software. As the first stage of this process, ARI defined requirements for six classes of methods and called for the development of alternative concepts for each class. This monograph describes three alternative concepts for building a method to predict required operator and maintainer crew sizes for a system. The resulting crew sizes can be used to evaluate the manpower implications of a weapon system design and can serve as the basis of a cost-benefit analysis. These concepts will serve as the focus of current system building and may serve as a seedbed for the development of alternative systems. Keywords: Human factors; Jobs; Workload. (KR)
