Abstract:

This report presents the results of a MANPRINT Manpower and Personnel Integration evaluation of the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle--Heavy Variant HMMWV-HV. The evaluation was conducted by the Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences in conjunction with operational assessment of the HMMWV-HV by the U.S. Army Operational Test and Evaluation Agency OTEA. Three configurations were examined the maxi- ambulance, the mini-ambulance, and the S-250 communications shelter. Realistic missions were simulated in a field setting over a variety of terrains, and critical incidents and system operations problems were recorded as they occurred. These data were supplemented with interview and questionnaire data. Fifty-eight areas in which system improvements may be warrented are identified. Nine of the areas involve training five involve maintenance 20 involve human factors and operations and 24 involve systems safety and health hazards.
