B-1B Human Factors Baseline Study Report

Abstract

A Human Factors study was conducted on B-1B Blocks D, E, and F. The 1st study objective was to evaluate B-1B Blocks D, E, and F crew workload and situational awareness. The 2nd objective was to establish a measurable crew performance baseline for future B-1B Block upgrades. These objectives were studied in the B-1B Engineering Research Simulator (ERS) in a simulated full mission environment using eight B-1B crews. After training, the crews flew two missions. Workload and situational awareness were measured, a questionnaire was given, and all missions were video taped. Human Factors improvements were recommended.
