MANPRINT Methods Monograph: Aiding the Development of Manned System Performance Criteria
Abstract
This monograph consists of three papers on a common subject: The development of complete, rigorous, and operationally measurable performance criteria for manned systems. Each of these papers presents a concept for building an aiding method. The U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences began the program to develop methods to integrate available operations and maintenance personnel with hardware and software. The first stage of this process was to develop three alternate, competitive concepts for each method. The three concept papers in this monograph were written in response to requirements for a method to develop rigorous and ultimately measurable performance criteria. These criteria would enable hardware and software designers to better understand what a manned, fully integrated system would have to do to achieve operations and maintenance success. Success would be described in terms of required performance levels of operations and maintenance tasks under specified conditions. The concept papers written in response to this requirement have three significantly different focuses and bring powerful but different approaches to the problem of developing rigorous and meaningful performance criteria. Ultimately, the ARI study advisory group decided to implement the concept proposed by microanalysis and design.
