Two-Howitzer Crew Drill Models

Abstract

For this research, Micro SAINT software (Micro Analysis and Design, Inc.) was used to build crew drill models to develop a modeling and simulation approach to weapon system evaluation that could be used to supplement operational evaluation procedures. The intent was to link crew performance directly to system performance. Two models were developed for the Howitzer Improvement Program. Exercising the models over a range of critical task error rates produced results that illustrated how average performance time may degrade very slowly despite errors in selected tasks. It was concluded that crew drill models written in Micro SAINT offer a promising way to assist operational testing and evaluation. (sdw)
