Military aircraft missions are all multidimensional in
nature. This means that every mission can be divided into
usually one overall goal or purpose (i.e., destroy the
target, deliver the supplies, rescue the survivors, etc.),
with several subgoals (safety, minimize susceptibility,
timeliness, etc.). Since missions are multidimensional, the
operator effort in the form of mental and physical action
(performance) becomes multidimensional. The multidimentional
nature of skilled aircrew performance, in turn, reguires
that several criteria, all of which are relevant for a
particular activity, be defined and used [ Ref• 1 ].
The unique situation of an aircrew flying an aircraft
for a specific mission and the necessary determination of
subcriteria for evaluating accomplishment of that mission
requires further research of an analytical and empirical
nature. The relationship among altitute, airspreed,
operator activity, and the hundreds of other system variables
that comprise the total system must be compared to
mission success in quantifiable terms.
This study is an effort to improve acquisition of
training performance information in affortable ways on
behalf of the Hellenic Air Force (HAF) . Thus, it is divided
in: (1) The principles of human performance, (2) Definition
of the criteria and their measurement, (3) Systematic definition
of performance measure appropriate to combat- training
needs, (4) Definition of a cost effective measurement system
usable in combat-crew training environments to acquire and
process needed training information.
The method that was used was a search of the available
materials found in the NPS library. Most of the data found
was based on DSAF studies.
