Abstract:

TECHNICAL ISSUE: The ability to hear is essential to soldier performance in present and conceptual Army systems; high noise levels produce reduced crew efficiency and limitations in weapon design. Research is essential to determine how mission accomplishment is affected by acoustic/auditory factors .OBJECTIVE: To generate soldier performance data via laboratory and field evaluations that are aimed at finding the mechanisms by which noise affects man, quantifying its role as a factor in system performance , and countering these effects to maximize both crew and weapon performance.
