This thesis presents a dynamic study of the target
selection process of the current generation of U. S. Army
tank commanders. Eleven relevant factors were investigated
utilizing a 1/16 Replication of the 2 factorial experimental
design. The development and basic characteristics
of this experimental design are discussed as an introduction
to the actual experiment conducted. The methodology used in
conducting the experiment as well as the major effort devoted
to establishing the data base are presented prior to the
discussion of the analysis. Factors and interactions
impacting significantly on the target selection process were
identified using analysis of variance techniques and an
interpretation of these is given. A target selection model
based on a best fit regression on the data is proposed as
a viable alternative to those target selection models
presently used in existing high resolution combined arms
simulation models.
