Combat Automation Requirements Testbed (CART) Task 1 Final Report: Implementation Concepts and an Example

摘要

The Combat Automation Requirements Test bed (CART) program will provide human performance modeling methods and tools for generating objective, performance-based crew system requirements. CART will integrate readily with techniques currently used within the acquisition process to generate system requirements. CART will enable acquisition analysts to consider the crew system at the same time other key system components are being evaluated during the system definition activities that occur early in the acquisition process. This report begins with a discussion of why performance-based crew system requirements are needed, followed by a description of how modeling and simulation are currently used in the acquisition process to generate system requirements. Next, it describes the modeling requirements for developing performance-based crew system requirements and CART's human performance modeling architecture. The discussion then turns to a notional example of how CART would be applied to generate a set of crew system requirements. Finally, the last section discusses the costs associated with applying CART's capabilities and the benefits to he derived therefrom.
