Usability Evaluation of Air Warfare Assessment & Review Toolset in Exercise Black Skies 2012

Abstract

A usability evaluation of a suite of after action review tools was undertaken as part of a synthetic collective training research exercise (Exercise Black Skies 2012). The suite of tools represent a test-bed for enquiry into what qualities and features are useful in after action review tools used in the collective synthetic training context. This report provides a description of the usability design issues observed in the use of the tool suite and proposes opportunities for future development. The study makes use of two complementary approaches to usability: User Testing and the Systemic-Structural Theory of Activity.
