Predicting First-Run Gunnery Performance on Tank Table VIII
Abstract
Research was conducted to determine if performance on the first run of Tank Table VIII can be predicted from amount and level of training on the Unit Conduct-of-Fire Training (U-COFT) and from crew turbulence data. During the first phase of the research, intercorrelations were computed between predictor variables and Tables VIII performance measures obtained from 77 tank crews. Two predictor variables from U-COFT training correlated significantly with Table VIII performance--crew reticle air level and TC reticle aim level. Neither variable was able to predict which crews would qualify on Table VIII, but the composite of crew reticle air and time in crew was able to predict which crews would qualify. This finding was not supported by the results based on 136 crews examined during Phase II. Since gunnery training was curtailed during Phase I but not during Phase II, the Phase I results may be applicable to future training situations in which resource constraints cause to be curtailed.
