C3I Test Instrumentation System (Data Collection Subsystem): MANPRINT Findings

Abstract

This paper presents MANPRINT findings pertaining to the prototype Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence (031) Test Instrumentation System (0312). The findings, conveyed to Test and Experimentation Command (TEXCOM) for inclusion in their test report, were obtained during the TEXCOM government acceptance test of the 0312 Data Collection Subsystem at Fort Sill Field Artillery Board during the week of 28 January 1990. Unfortunately, the DCS failed the acceptance test because of a crucial software bug and three crucial MANPRINT findings. The latter were: (a) easy accidental reinitialization of the system by the operator; (b) inadequate presentation of system alerts to the operator; and (c) a possible safety hazard associated with vehicle instability. The developer has resolved the software bug and is currently working on the MANPRINT problems. The complete, detailed results are presented in this report in the format required for inclusion in the TEXCOM test report.
