MANPRINT Support of the Non-Line-Of-Sight Fiber Optic Guided Missile System

Abstract

The U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) Fort Bliss Field Unit supported MANPRINT evaluations during the Non-Line-Of-Sight (NLOS) Fiber-Optic Guided Missile (FOG-M) System Force Development Test and Experimentation (FDTE), an Extended User Employment (EUE) program, and a Defense Simulation Network-Developmental (SIMNET-D) exercise. Crew performance, human factors, and target cuing impact on system performance were examined. The objectives of this effort were accomplished successfully. The effort developed and executed (1) user-level methods for evaluation, (2) effective stategies for integrating MANPRINT information and requirements into the weapon procurement process, and (3) demonstrations of MANPRINT potential for improving force readiness and system effectiveness. Lessons learned from these evaluations were provided to decision makers to support the acquisition program milestone decisions and the NLOS Critical Design Review process.
