Abstract:

This report documents the results of an early human factors assessment of the Soldier Machine Interface of the AirLand Battle Management ALBM Advanced Technology Demonstration ATD decision aid prototype, version 1.2. This is one of a series of assessments of the ALBM ATD prototype conducted during its development. An assessment instrument was developed to evaluate compliance to several sources of interface design guidelines and principles, both military and nonmilitary. Using the assessment instrument, a human factors specialist collected evaluation data. In addition to specific recommendations for interface improvement, suggestions are made for improved interface development procedures.
