Mission Readiness Measurement Aid (MIRMAID)
Abstract
The purpose of MIRMAID is to evaluate the overall readiness to perform a specific mission aboard any Naval vessel. The tool we have designed is intended to combine automated and observed measures of performance to provide the Commanding Officer feedback regarding the readiness of his unit to perform key missions as defined by the Uniform Naval Task List (UNTL). A primary strength of this tool is that it traces tasks identified in the UNTL down through mission essential tasks to specific operator actions and then links these operator actions to triggers in the combat system, which can initiate the data collection process. In addition to this hierarchical decomposition of UNTL tasks, MIRMAID uses scenario data output from BFTT to compare actions and decisions made by the operator to the ground truth of the scenario. A final strength of the software is that through human performance modeling, MIRMAID will be capable of comparing actual operator performance with that of an 'expert' and provide both the responsible evaluator and the operator with performance feedback identifying areas where performance can be improved.
