Data Elements for Workload Analysis of Armored Vehicle Crews

Abstract

The Task Analysis and Workload (TAWL) methods developed by the U.S. Army Research Institute Aviation Research and Development Activity (ARIARDA) for helicopter workload analysis was used as a model to develop AVTAWL (Armored Vehicle Task Analysis and Workload) methods for the analysis of workload for armored crews. An exhaustive search of relevant documentation was performed to identify all workload elements related to armored operations. The data elements identified in this paper provide a comprehensive vocabulary for interrogating personnel who are subject matter experts (SMEs) in armored operations. Such interrogation of SMEs would comprise the inputs to the AVTAWL software program and provide system developers with an operational M1 tank baseline for predicting the workload impact of various vehicles included in the Armored Systems Modernization program.
