Usability of a Battle Management System Under Simulated Vehicular Motion

Abstract

Military personnel may be required to conduct command and control tasks whilst under various levels of motion. This study examined whether there were performance degradations for typical tasks that commanders may be expected to complete whilst on the move. It was found that there were no differences in task performance between the static and mild levels of motion, but there were differences between the mild and high levels of motion. It was also found that participants performed better at tasks in which they were receiving information, rather than tasks they were in which they had to input information. There were also learning effects were participants performed better in their latter experiment sessions.
