Three Situational Awareness Rating Scales (SARS) were developed to measure pilot performance in an operational fighter environment. These instruments rated situational awareness (SA) from three perspectives: supervisors, peers, and self-report. SARS data were gathered from 205 mission-ready USAF F-15C pilots from 8 operational squadrons. Reliabilities of the SARS were quite high, as measured by their internal consistency (0.95 to 0.99) and inter-rater agreement (0.88 to 0.97). Correlations between the supervisory and peer SARS were strongly positive (0.89 to 0.92), while correlations with the self-report SARS were positive, but smaller (0.45 to 0.57). A composite SA score was developed from the supervisory and peer SARS using a principal components analysis. The resulting score was found to be highly related to previous flight experience and current flight qualification. A prediction equation derived from available background and experience factors accounted for 73% of its variance. Implications for use of the composite SA score as a criterion measure are discussed.
开发了三种态势感知评级量表（SARS）来衡量战斗机作战环境中的飞行员表现。这些工具从三个角度对态势感知（SA）进行评级：上级、同行和自我报告。SARS数据收集自来自8个作战中队的205名随时可执行任务的美国空军F-15C飞行员。通过内部一致性（0.95至0.99）和评分者间一致性（0.88至0.97）衡量，SARS的可靠性相当高。上级和同行SARS之间的相关性呈强正相关（0.89至0.92），而与自我报告SARS的相关性为正，但较小（0.45至0.57）。使用主成分分析从上级和同行SARS中得出综合SA分数。结果发现该分数与以前的飞行经验和当前的飞行资格高度相关。由可用的背景和经验因素得出的预测方程解释了其73%的方差。讨论了将综合SA分数用作标准测量的意义。
