Download or read book Using the Tank Gunnery and Missile Tracking System TGMTS for Measuring Tank Gunnery Performance written by Robert G. Witmer and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tank Gunnery and Missile Tracking System (TGMTS) was evaluated as a device for measuring tank gunnery performance. To enhance its performance assessment capabilities, the TGMTS was paired with a microcomputer. The computer-augmented TGMTS was used in assessing the performance of 18 M60A3 tank commander-gunner pairs on 27 gunnery engagements. The computer-augmented TGMTS arrangement permitted precise measurement of tank commander and gunner behaviors in engaging realistic threat targets. Potential users for the TGMTS in assessing gunner performance are discussed including gunnery qualification, personnel assignment, diagnostic testing, and evaluation of gunnery training programs.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Automated devices can potentially measure the processes as well as results of armor crew performance. This research analyzed a sample of three tank gunnery engagements in order to (1) identify the stimuli and overt responses in a sample of gunnery tasks; (2) identify and rank-order the response groups, overt responses, and enabling skills for each duty position in the sample engagements; and (3) write prototype measurement specifications for a sample of those response groups, overt responses, and enabling skills. The decisions and overt responses of each crew member for the sampled tasks were displayed in several sets of flow diagrams. Methods for sorting overt responses into groups and for inferring enabling skills were based on three considerations: perception of initiating stimuli, recall of procedures or rules, and motor behavior. These methods yielded a four-tiered behavior hierarchy for each duty position for each engagement. Measures of crewmen's performance at all levels of the hierarchy would permit (a) troubleshooting performance sequences by backtracking scores top to bottom through the hierarchy; (b) testing sequentially from bottom to top; and (c) predicting performance in higher instructional units from scores on lower units. Measurement specifications were written for the response groups, overt responses, and enabling skills in a main gun precision engagement.

Book excerpt: The specific objectives of this research were to evaluate the relationship between gunner's and tank commander's: (1) scores on a series of potentially predictive paper-and-pencil tests and main-gun Tank Table performance; (2) intermediate tank gunnery training task performance and main-gun Tank Table performance; (3) composite scores and their performance on the main-gun Tank Tables ; and (4) to evaluate the relationship between aptitude test scores and driver performance as measured by driver's ranking within their platoon.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Threat-based tank gunnery performance testing procedures were developed using a seven-step process that included (a) describing the tank gunnery domain, (b) determining several test requirements, (c) analyzing gunnery outcome (speed and accuracy) measures and developing a recommended approach, (d) analyzing gunnery process measures (e.g., target acquisition, fire commands) and developing a recommended approach, (e) setting standards, (f) analyzing devices and making recommendations, and (g) developing test administration procedures. The test comprises (a) crew and platoon skill echelons, (b) Combat Tank Tables and threat-based target arrays, and (c) live fire and instrumented dry fire. After reviewing several alternatives, the hit expectation ratio metric that underlies Tank Table VIII was identified as the most conceptually complete outcome metric available. A spreadsheet format was prepared for extending the calculation of hit expectation ratio for crew gunnery for three, four, and five threat targets in an array. The mathematics of a suggested solution for calculating a platoon gunnery hit expectation ratio were presented. To support assessment of the behaviors and activities of crew and platoon gunnery, a series of descriptive rating scales were developed.

Download or read book Performance Analysis of Table VIII Tank Gunnery Engagements written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To assess performance on individual Table VIII gunnery engagements, the first run scores of 109 tank crews from three U.S. Army National Guard (ARNG) armor battalions were averaged and then ordinarily ranked for difficulty. For all three battalions, three of the four engagements found to have the lowest average scores (highest difficulty rankings) required machine gun (coax or Caliber .50) employment either alone or in combination with the main gun. In the remaining engagement of this foursome, crews were required to fire at multiple targets with the main gun using the gunner's auxiliary sight. Two of the three engagements found to have the highest average scores (lowest difficulty rankings) involved presentation of only a single target. These results can be used by ARNG armor trainers to help maximize the payoff from their training time investment by focusing on the engagements found to be the most difficult, thereby enhancing the probability of first-run crew qualification on Table VIII.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although fairly comprehensive data on the degree of crew turbulence was provided by Larson et al., the data was collected several years ago and may not represent today's armor forces. And the effects of crew turbulence were not fully explored. Concern over the magnitude and effects of crew turbulence on tank gunnery training were expressed to ARI by numerous individuals in 1977, and research involving experimental manipulation of several degrees of turbulence was planned. In the interim this correlational research was designed and conducted in conjunction with tank crew assignment research ongoing with five armor battalions in USAREUR.
