Evaluating the Unit Performance Assessment System's After Action Review Displays

Abstract

This research effort assessed military users' judgments about different versions of the Unit Performance Assessment System's (UPAS') performance feedback capabilities in after action reviews (AARs) for Simulation Networking (SIMNET) training. Interactive demonstrations with SIMNET training personnel and operational unit personnel were performed to determine the utility of the feedback materials generated by UPAS. Specific findings indicated that (a) the slide show method of exercise replay was preferred over an animated rerun method; (b) Battle Snapshot displays were more likely to be used than Exercise Timeline or Battle Flow displays; and (c) divergent opinions existed regarding the value of certain displays.
