Performance Assessment Capability Feasibility Study
Abstract
This report presents the results and recommendations of the performance assessment capability (PAC) feasibility study conducted by the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI), Fort Bliss Field Unit for the Directorate of Training Development at the U.S. Army Air Force Defense Artillery School. Previously, ARI developed a PAC for a research environment and implemented it on a Patriot weapon system tactical operations simulator. The objective of the study was to determine the feasibility of using the ARI-developed PAC as the basis for improved operator performance evaluation in the Patriot training environment. The study was initiated through extensive meetings with representatives from virtually all user groups. Ratings were obtained on the usefulness, the required frequency and timeliness, and the desired format of the ARI PAC measures. Users rated all of the PAC measures as useful and, in addition, requested other specific measures and enhancements such as flexible scenario replay. An analysis of existing data collection software and an evaluation of PAC implementation alternatives found that it is feasible to implement the ARI PAC on the current Patriot trainer or on a future one. Ten specific recommendations were made about the requirements for a complete PAC that includes the user-desired enhancements above and beyond the ARI PAC. (Author) (emk)
