Personnel and training Evaluation for the M270A1 Fire Control System.

ADA408167

Publication Date	2002
Personal Author	Savick, D. S.
Page Count	50
Abstract	The Human Research and Engineering Directorate of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) performed a personnel and training evaluation of the M270A1 multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) fire control system (FCS) for the Training and Doctrine Command System Manager- Rocket and Missile Systems (TSM- RAMS) at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The M270A1 FCS is an improved version of the current M270 FCS. It improves the capability and versatility of the FCS by using a 'Windows-like' operating system. During the time of this evaluation, the M270A1 was in the engineering and manufacturing development phase of acquisition. Improving the capability and versatility of the operating system does not necessarily improve the usability of the operating system. The complexity of the system can affect personnel and training requirements of the military occupational specialty (MOS) 13M for successful operation of the FCS. Therefore, the evaluation was performed to determine if personnel and training requirements should be changed to provide effective training for the new FCS.
