This book was released on 1989 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Research Institute (ARI) Systems Research laboratory (SRL) supports the Army's manpower and personnel integration (MANPRINT) initiative in the testing and development of new systems. Operational Testing II (OT II) of the Aquila Remotely Piloted Vehicle revealed disappointing system performance thought to be due in part to manpower, personnel, training, and human factors problems. The SRL MANPRINT Task Force, headed by the Fort Hood Field Unit, was asked by Headquarters Training and Doctrine Command and the U.S. Army Field Artillery School to help identify the problems and recommend ways to resolve them. The SRL Task Force examined operator and maintainer MANPRINT concerns (e.g., target detection, mission planning, and maintenance manpower) and was able to recommend concrete ways to minimize the impact of these problems on total system performance. Keywords: Operational testing, Human factors, Remotely piloted vehicles.

Download or read book Aquila Remotely Piloted Vehicle Recent Developments and Alternatives written by GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON DC NATIONAL SECURITY AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS DIV. and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This GAO report is about the Army's Aquila Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV), which has had numerous difficulties since it entered full-scale development in 1979. Among these have been technical performance problems and funding cuts, which have led to substantial cost growth and schedule slippage. During the past year, the emergence of critical performance problems during testing led to a major program restructuring and threatened the Aquila's future. Prior to these changes, costs to acquire the Aquila were estimated at about $2 billion. This estimate has not yet been revised to reflect the recent changes. Several RPV systems exist in addition to the Aquila. The Army considered these alternative systems in a study it made in 1984 from the standpoint of their possible availability and potential to perform in the stringent environment envisioned for Aquila's use. GAO found that although the study did not consider several factors which could have led to a more balanced comparison, the Army chose to continue the Aquila development because of its earlier availability. The Army's decision to continue Aquila's development was based primarily on its ability to perform the basic target acquisition and designation mission in a stringent environment, and on its availability for fielding earlier than alternative systems. Although the Army's 1984 study of the Aquila and the alternative systems concluded that the alternatives could be made to perform the mission in a demanding environment, they could not match Aquila's earlier availability.
Download or read book Handbook of Human Factors Testing and Evaluation written by Samuel G. Charlton and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-09-25 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like the first edition, the revision of this successful Handbook responds to the growing need for specific tools and methods for testing and evaluating human-system interfaces. Indications are that the market for information on these tools and applications will continue to grow in the 21st century. One of the goals of offering a second edition is to expand and emphasize the application chapters, providing contemporary examples of human factors test and evaluation (HFTE) enterprises across a range of systems and environments. Coverage of the standard tools and techniques used in HFTE have been updated as well. New features of the Handbook of Human Factors Testing and Evaluation include: *new chapters covering human performance testing, manufacturing ergonomics, anthropometry, generative design methods, and usability testing; *updated tools and techniques for modeling, simulation, embedded testing, training assessment, and psychophysiological measurement; *new applications chapters presenting human factors testing examples in aviation and avionics, forestry, road safety, and software systems; and *more examples, illustrations, graphics and tables have been added. The orientation of the current work has been toward breadth of coverage rather than in-depth treatment of a few issues or techniques. Experienced testers will find much that is familiar, as well as new tools, creative approaches, and a rekindled enthusiasm. Newcomers will discover the diversity of issues, methods, and creative approaches that make up the field. In addition, the book is written in such a way that individuals outside the profession should learn the intrinsic value and pleasure in ensuring safe, efficient, and effective operation, as well as increased user satisfaction through HFTE.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army Aquila RPV system technology demonstrator consists of 146-lb RPVs with a 12.35-ft wingspan and a 6-ft length, ground support systems consisting of truck-mounted ground control stations and pneumatic launchers, trailer-mounted vertical barrier RPV retrieval systems, and auxiliary support equipment. The system demonstrated effective targeting and surveillance capabilities at maximum ranges exceeding 20 km, with payload options ranging from unstabilized TV cameras to laser designators. (Author).

Alexander and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aquila system was developed using off-the-shelf hardware and best commercial practices where practical to minimize cost while retaining performance commensurate with 'HI-REL' hardware design. Evolution of proven RPV concepts, i.e., autopilot, sensor, and pneumatic launcher; development of new elements, airframe structure, servoactuator, and electronic interface units; adaptation of such hardware as the data link elements; and use of existing commercial units, i.e., recorders, computer, and monitor hardware, produced an effective system that was refined through flight testing and made available to trained army crews.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designing inclusively is no longer an option for companies. It is a business essential. Global populations are getting older, legislation is increasingly prohibitive of unnecessary exclusion and consumer attitudes are beginning to change. Exclusivity is out, inclusivity is in. Research communities the world over are responding to this change in design emphasis. Conferences such as the Cambridge Workshops on Universal Access and Assistive Technology (CWUAAT) offer a forum for researchers from diverse and varied disciplines to bring their perspectives on inclusive design together. This book has been inspired by the second CWUAAT, held in Cambridge, England in March 2004. It contains chapters from an international group of leading researchers in this field. Contributions focus on the following topics: design issues for universal access and assistive technology; enabling computer access and new technologies; and, assistive technology and rehabilitation robotics. This series of conferences is aimed at a broad range of interests, with a general focus on the development of products and solutions. Numerous case studies are used to raise awareness of the challenges faced in developing truly inclusive products, along with examples of good practice for design for a more inclusive world.
