Preliminary Analysis of Army Aircrew Requirements for Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS): Human Performance Requirements and Job Demands
Abstract
In response to a request from Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Systems Manager for the Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS), the U.S. Army Research Institute Field Office, now the Human Research and Engineering Directorate (HRED) of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, located at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, conducted an analysis of Army aircrew positions aboard the JSTARS E-8 aircraft. The objective was to determine skills and abilities requirements, task demands, and implications of training and selection. The analytical approach included using the job comparison and analysis tool (JCAT) by experts who had flown on JSTARS in Operation Desert Storm. Data from these analyses indicate a significant cognitive (mental) demand for the three Army aircrew positions, a need for auditory attention ability at a midlevel experience range, and a strong emphasis on oral and written interpersonal communication skills. Findings suggest that these positions must be filled by experience personnel. Joint STARS, Abilities and skills, Job assessment, Military intelligence job requirement
