Relationships Between Training Level, Aptitude and System Performance on the AN/TRC-170: Weighted and Unweighted Correctional Analysis
Abstract
With the recent MANPRINT initiative on development and evaluation of Army systems, continued interest exists in the relationship between system/soldier performance, training proficiency and Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) scores. During 1986 and early 1987, under the auspices of the Operational Test and Evaluation Agency (OTEA), a Follow-on Test and Evaluation (FOT&E) of the AN/TRC-170 tactical troposcatter systems was conducted. The AN/TRC-170 is a family of three multichannel radio terminal sets (V1-V3) that were developed by Raytheon under contract to the Electronic Systems Division of the United States Air Force. In order to evaluate the suitability of the V2 and V3 systems for Army missions, the FOT&E was conducted. Since four Block test training proficiency measures, system performance (time) measures (obtained during the FOT&E) and ASVAB scores were available, it seemed appropriate to address the relationship among these variables. Differences in the demographic characteristics of the FOT&E and non-FOT&E soldiers in the target audience are summarized in Appendix A. Aptitude (ASVAB) differences between FOT&E and non-FOT&E soldiers are summarized in Appendix B. Finally in Appendix C, comparability of teams formed for conduct of the FOT&E is accessed via training achievement proficiency and ASVAB Composites performance.
