Troubleshooting Assessment and Enhancement (TAE) Program: Test and Evaluation
Abstract
The Navy has limited means of measuring the troubleshooting proficiency of Navy technicians and their ability to contribute to operational readiness. There is limited capability to maintain or enhance troubleshooting skills on board ships or at Reserve Readiness Centers, or to evaluate overall troubleshooting capability so that feedback can be provided to the training command to improve troubleshooting skills training in the schools. The purpose of the Troubleshooting Assessment and Evaluation (TAE) program was to develop a low cost, microcomputer-based system to provide an objective measure of the troubleshooting proficiency of Navy technicians. The TAE effort resulted in the development of a troubleshooting proficiency demonstration for the maintainers (NEC ET-1453s) of the Naval Modular Automated Communications System(V)/Satellite Communications (NAVMACS V/SATCOM) hardware. The test and evaluation plan was designed to assess the TAE system, validate the TAE troubleshooting episodes, and assess the reliability and effectiveness of the episodes in evaluating performance of troubleshooting technicians.
