Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Night Operations Program is concerned with problems in optimizing human performance in relation to night vision devices and related sensors. In the furtherance of this research, studies are being conducted with passive night vision devices. Passive night vision devices developed for the Army have greatly increased night observation and target acquisition capabilities. Effectiveness of these devices, however, is highly dependent upon how and under what conditions they are used. The present study sought to determine whether new search techniques and procedures could increase the effectiveness of soldiers using passive night vision devices. The subjects (54 operators) using the Starlight Scope (SS) or the Night Observation Device, Medium Range (NOD) were given specialized search training and their training performance was compared with another group previously tested under the same conditions but without special training on search method and pattern.

This book was released on 1971 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Night Operations Program is concerned with optimizing human performance in relation to night vision devices and related sensors. Specific aspects deal with determining performance effectiveness of sensor systems, factors which affect performance, and means of improving effectiveness. The present study describes research involving the use of such devices in assessing the effectiveness of soldier performance during night operations. The primary objective of the experiment was to investigate the effects of search area size on performance--as it interacts with a number of environmental, target, and human factors--and to determine the implications of findings for operational use, basis of issue; and search deployment, as well as for improvement of soldiers' effectiveness in using these devices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The night operations program is concerned with problems in optimizing human performance in relation to night vision devices and related sensors. To further this research, experimentation has been directed toward enhancement of the performance of the combat soldier in night operations. The report describes an experimental evaluation or four passive night vision devices, and presents results of the assessment of operator performance with these devices in target detection and search tasks. Subjects were required to detect targets (soldiers or aggressor type silhouettes) presented in two modes. Responses were recorded electronically. Data obtained were analyzed to determine performance effectiveness with the two subject devices and the effects were studied of illumination (starlight, half moon, full moon), distance (50 - 300 meters), target mode (moving vs stationary), target exposure time (10, 20, 30 and 90 seconds), and their interactions on search performance.

This book was released on 1975 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the second phase of a research program designed to investigate requirements for an effective integrated surveillance system utilizing several combinations of radars and night vision devices. The results, obtained in a realistic setting, showed that: (1) the highest quality of target detection information reported to battalion was obtained by surveillance teams consisting of one AN/PPS-5A Ground Surveillance Radar Operator, one Night Observation Device Operator, a team chief, and a radio-telephone operator; (2) ground surveillance radar operators were unable to identify reliably either target types or target classes (wheel vs track vehicles; personnel vs vehicles) under (simulated) operational conditions; (3) simple, low-cost modifications to training and work procedures greatly enhanced the performance of PPS-5A ground surveillance radar operators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New devices and sensors for night seeing and target acquisition have increased the capability of the U.S. Army for continuous operation extending through day and night. Although the soldier can continue to function under such conditions, his performance on critical tasks may be so degraded that his effectiveness is severely impaired. The present research was undertaken to determine the extent to which soldier performance is degraded on combat-related tasks, with the goal of developing techniques, work methods, and procedures for reducing such degradation if it occurs.
