Download or read book Human Factors Evaluation of the Modified AT 4 Light Antiarmor Weapon written by Paul H. Ellis and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The AT-4 is a man-portable, 84-mm antiarmor weapon designed by the FFV Co. of Sweden who is represented in the United States by Honeywell Corp. This AT-4 evaluation was conducted in two parts. The first part addressed its durability, ruggedness, and compatibility with the marine rifleman's fighting load. This took place on the USAHEL (US Army Human Engineering Laboratory) cross-country and mobility/portability course. The second part examines the time it took marines to prepare the weapon for firing, and the frequency and type of errors they made during the preparation. Recommendations are made to improve the ruggedness, durability, and operational suitability of the AT-4. The AT-4 was found to be a rugged weapon that is fast and easy to prepare for firing. It was enthusiastically endorsed by the Marine test participants even though it is significantly larger and heavier than the lightweight antiarmor weapon (M72A1) with which they were familiar. Originator-supplied keywords include: Antitank weapons, Recoilless rifle, and Infantry weapons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weapon systems have at least a material component and a human component. Evaluation of the operational effectiveness of weapon systems must fully involve both components. The evaluation situation must be tactically realistic, personnel who normally man the system should be used, and there should be an attempt to stress the participants. To accomplish these goals, adequate information and response loads must be provided participants, over-control should be avoided, and player and instrumentation personnel quality control should be assured. Suggestions are developed for simulating two-sided combat, the concept of nonreactive testing is introduced, and the role of incentives and rewards to motivate and control performance is discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research note describes the MANPRINT assessment which forms part of the Follow-On Evaluation (FOE) of the M1A1 main battle tank conducted at Fort Bliss from December 1986 through August 1987 by the Army Operational Test and Evaluation Agency. MANPRINT evaluation support was provided by the Army Research Institute's Fort Hood Field Unit. The M1A1 FOE was conducted using 41 of the tanks assigned to the 3rd Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry, and their crews. Data for the assessment were obtained through structured interviews, questionnaires, observation of squadron operations and evaluation of calibration/gunnery performance of crews during the FOE. The primary issues investigated were: ease of calibration of M1A1 main armament, logistic supportability, and NBC system operations. Inquiry was also made as to the number of previously identified MANPRINT/human factors deficiencies uncorrected in the production version. Significant findings during the FOE were: insufficient refueling capacity in the tested support platoon, low reliability of the Simplified Test Equipment, when used in high ambient temperature conditions, and an NBC backup system which does not filter out carbon monoxide gas (a deficiency discovered during the M1E1 operational test II in 1984).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Training Circular (TC) 3-09.81, "Field Artillery Manual Cannon Gunnery," sets forth the doctrine pertaining to the employment of artillery fires. It explains all aspects of the manual cannon gunnery problem and presents a practical application of the science of ballistics. It includes step-by-step instructions for manually solving the gunnery problem which can be applied within the framework of decisive action or unified land operations. It is applicable to any Army personnel at the battalion or battery responsible to delivered field artillery fires. The principal audience for ATP 3-09.42 is all members of the Profession of Arms. This includes field artillery Soldiers and combined arms chain of command field and company grade officers, middle-grade and senior noncommissioned officers (NCO), and battalion and squadron command groups and staffs. This manual also provides guidance for division and corps leaders and staffs in training for and employment of the BCT in decisive action. This publication may also be used by other Army organizations to assist in their planning for support of battalions. This manual builds on the collective knowledge and experience gained through recent operations, numerous exercises, and the deliberate process of informed reasoning. It is rooted in time-tested principles and fundamentals, while accommodating new technologies and diverse threats to national security.
Download or read book The Evolution of US Army Tactical Doctrine 1946 76 written by Robert A. Doughty and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper focuses on the formulation of doctrine since World War II. In no comparable period in history have the dimensions of the battlefield been so altered by rapid technological changes. The need for the tactical doctrines of the Army to remain correspondingly abreast of these changes is thus more pressing than ever before. Future conflicts are not likely to develop in the leisurely fashions of the past where tactical doctrines could be refined on the battlefield itself. It is, therefore, imperative that we apprehend future problems with as much accuracy as possible. One means of doing so is to pay particular attention to the business of how the Army's doctrine has developed historically, with a view to improving methods of future development.
Download or read book Making the Soldier Decisive on Future Battlefields written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-06-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. military does not believe its soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines should be engaged in combat with adversaries on a "level playing field." Our combat individuals enter engagements to win. To that end, the United States has used its technical prowess and industrial capability to develop decisive weapons that overmatch those of potential enemies. In its current engagement-what has been identified as an "era of persistent conflict"- the nation's most important weapon is the dismounted soldier operating in small units. Today's soldier must be prepared to contend with both regular and irregular adversaries. Results in Iraq and Afghanistan show that, while the U.S. soldier is a formidable fighter, the contemporary suite of equipment and support does not afford the same high degree of overmatch capability exhibited by large weapons platforms-yet it is the soldier who ultimately will play the decisive role in restoring stability. Making the Soldier Decisive on Future Battlefields establishes the technical requirements for overmatch capability for dismounted soldiers operating individually or in small units. It prescribes technological and organizational capabilities needed to make the dismounted soldier a decisive weapon in a changing, uncertain, and complex future environment and provides the Army with 15 recommendations on how to focus its efforts to enable the soldier and tactical small unit (TSU) to achieve overmatch.
