An Analysis of a Sustained Flight Operation Training Mission in Navy Attack Aircraft,

Abstract

As part of a sustained fight operations (SUSOPS) research project, we had an opportunity to evaluate the performance of aircrews from three squadrons attached to Carrier Air Wing (CAW) 15. These squadrons were involved in a practice, long-range, overwater, strike mission from the USS CARL VINSON (CVN- 70). At that time, the CARL VINSON was underway from Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, to Alameda, California. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate performance changes during the simulated SUSOP. Pre- and postmission performance was compared using t tests, at the 95% confidence level. Results showed a significant improvement in the ability to perceive noise-degraded speech and a significant increase in carrier landing scores. No changes were found in cognitive performance on a computerized performance assessment battery (PAB).
