Programs and prospects in aircrew performance measurement.

This article provides a historical perspective on research in the area of aircrew performance measurement within AFHRL. The development efforts within the Division are traced, beginning with some of the early work using the T-37 Advanced Simulator for Undergraduate Pilot Training and its later transition to the A-10 and F-16. The attempt to develop a C-5 performance measurement capability for use in operational training is also presented. Current efforts include the development of a measurement test bed facility for the Simulator for Air-to-Air Combat and the Air Combat Maneuvering instrumentation and the extension of such work into the low-level surface attack domain. Future development of the Air Combat Assessment and the Debriefing System is presented.
