Single-Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) Operator Training Evaluation

Abstract

The Single-Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS), which is replacing current Army combat radios, requires much more operating training than the radios. Training evaluation for SINCGARS was performed by the U.S. Army Research Institute using data collected from April to November 1988. Evaluation objectives were to: (a) assess training efficiency; (b) relate critical task performance times Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Testing criteria, Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, SINCGARS Learning Retention Test, class size, student-to-instructor ratio, and student-to-radio ratio; (c) document operator performance deficiencies; (d) document student evaluation of the training; (e) measure operator performance decrement over time; and (f) measure effects of shortening training from 32 to 24 hours.
