Combat-Ready Crew Performance Measurement System. Phase II. Measurement System Requirements

Research for the improvement of combat-crew training, and the sufficient execution of current training programs, are heavily dependent upon good sources of information about trainee performance during and at the end of training. In an effort to improve training performance information, this study is directed to 1 systematic definition of performance and 2 development of methods for measurement. The current Phase II Report deals with the requirements for a measurement system to process the measurement which has been dictated by the previous reports. The following topics are included in this paper 1 Research procedures to indicate the operation in which a measurement system is to serve as a tool in achieving research goals 2 Measurement processing to investigate the nature of data processing associated with training research measurement 3 System criteria to guide design tradeoffs 4 Preliminary system analyses to establish measurement system requirements which follow rather directly from the system criteria.
