Short Range Air Defense (SHORAD) Engagement Performance Criteria

Abstract

This report presents and discusses the development, administration, and calibration of standards for qualification of Short Range Air Defense (SHORAD) operators. The objective is to develop range tables that the U.S. Army Air Defense Artillery School (USAADASCH) can use to determine the proficiency level of air defense soldiers for training and qualification. A review of the air defense literature and recent air defense empirical data was conducted. As a result of this review, air defense scenarios, scenario difficulty factors and weights, summary and task performance measures, performance scoring algorithms, performance feedback displays, air defense criteria cutoffs, and performance criteria test administration procedures and test conditions were developed. A preliminary examination on the scenarios, the difficulty indexes, and the criteria was conducted using field test data obtained during this effort using the Realistic Air Defense Engagement System (RADES), a SHORAD testbed and trainer. The preliminary performance standards will be subjected to a series of validation tests to ensure their representativeness and to further calibrate them according to scenario difficulty level.
