This book was released on 1992 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research was to develop a composite performance measure for predicting engagement outcome during air combat maneuvering (ACM). Data were collected in the Simulator for Air-to-Air Combat (SAAC) located at Luke AFB, AZ. Each of 125 U.S. Air Force pilots current in the F-15 or F-16 fighter aircraft flew 8 SAAC 1v1 engagements. Experimental factors included Aircraft type, Start Position, Opponent type, and Order of engagement. Engagement outcomes were classified as win, loss, or draw. Ten candidate measures were evaluated reflecting basic aircraft state parameters and positional advantage measures indicating relative offensiveness and defensiveness. Objectives were to (1) determine effects of experimental factors on engagement outcome; (2) determine statistical relationship of candidate measures to experimental factors; (3) determine relative importance of measurement categories for prediction of engagement outcome; and (4) produce a composite measure of performance from all candidate measures that maximizes the prediction of engagement outcome. Results concluded that a composite measure of ACM performance from a linear combination of aircraft state and positional advantage measures for use in transfer of training evaluations is feasible. This investigation demonstrated that engagement outcome can be predicted from measures available from instrumented range systems such as the Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation. Implications for future research are discussed with recommendations for analyses of this engagement database.

Download or read book Issues in Performance Measurement for Military Aviation with Applications to Air Combat Maneuvering written by Norman E. Lane and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the history, development and current practice of measuring operator performance in systems, in particular military aviation systems, with additional emphasis on measurement in air combat maneuvering (ACM). The principal themes are that: a) Performance is used interchangeably with proficiency, and as such has acquired evaluative meanings about goodness or badness of individual capabilities. Performance measures thus require the same attention to measurement properties and validation as any other measures on individuals. b) there are tendencies to substitute physical measures, which scale physical quantities or events, for behavioral measures, which are representative of how well an individual can perform a given task. Performance measures are behavioral measures, and acquire meaning through validation operations beyond those required for physical measurement. Not all the measures obtainable on individuals or systems are appropriately called performance measures. c) Task performance must be viewed as a construct. Tasks are complex and multidimensional; individual proficiency must be inferred from limited observables. For proposed measures, it is necessary to show that measures are reliable, that they tap the most important components of successful performance, and that they are credible as representatives of individual task proficiency. Evidence supporting these demonstrations is acquired through the process of construct validation.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study was conducted to bring to focus the fragmented research efforts performed in the position advantage area and integrate the results with available energy metrics. It is envisioned that a product of the research would be an up-to-date algorithm that would combine energy maneuverability and position advantage assessment capability. Recommendations would also be provided for presenting algorithms output in display formats that would be meaningful and diagnostic to aircrews. An additional study objective was to review and document the current operating status of the EMD (Energy Maneuverability Display) and make recommendations for updating software and revising display formats to improve their instructional value. The research reported here represents the development of performance algorithms and diagnostic displays for the maneuvering portion of an air-to-air combat engagement conducted within visual range. Although the metrics described in the report are specific to air-to-air combat, the methods for development, validation and display of performance metrics are generalizable to other missions such as air-to-surface and electronic combat. The EMD prototype was designed to aid pilots in learning energy management skills. The EMD was subsequently implemented on the Tactical Aircrew Combat Training System/Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (TACTS/ACMI) by Cubic Defense Systems and has been in operation for the past several years.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Candidate supermaneuvers and measures of merit have been evaluated through analysis of man-in-the-loop, non-real time air combat simulation. Critical one vs one engagement segments were evaluated in the context of their impact to a real world, large-scale, high-threat air battle scenario. The scope of the study was constrained to exclusively 1 v 1 engagements in a subsonic flight envelope and with near-perfect pilot situational awareness. The non-real-time aspect of the simulation permitted an unhurried, unpressured, carefully calculated progress though each engagement sequence. Although this approach was unrealistic in many regards, it eliminated many of the variables of real-time air combat and provided insight into the "perfectly" executed maneuver.

Download or read book The Relationship Between Air Combat Maneuvering Range (ACMB) Output Measures and Initial Visual Acquisition Performance written by and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Initial visual acquisition of the adversary aircraft is a critically important task in air combat engagements. In order to assess capabilities for the performance of this task, it is necessary to identify the physical/flight variables which impact this performance. Measures of 33 flight variables were recorded at the time of initial visual acquiisition. Linear regression analysis was utilized to determine the relationship of each variable to acquisition range. Factor analysis revealed a clustering of the variables into four major factors: relative direction, target velocity, fighter velocity, and relative altitude. A multiple regression analysis was conducted, using these factors to predict acquisition range. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to investigate the feasibility of developing a diagnostic measure of tactical decision-making skill in the context of air combat maneuvering (ACM). Two experiments were conducted. Both employed a Tactical State Model (TSM) to characterize position and used a 7-point scale to rate tactical performance. Subjects were experienced F-15 and F-16 instructor pilots. In each experiment, they viewed two prerecorded ACM engagements and used the TSM to assign a tactical position or 'state' to the designed aircraft. Subjects then rated the performance of the designated aircraft. Results indicated that a tactical state model can be used reasonably well by experts to characterize position during an air-to-air engagement. Relationships were also established for one of the engagements in Experiment Two between these state assignments and an objective measure of positional advantage. The results failed to establish sufficient reliability for the tactical performance rating scale developed by this work. Also, the results failed to establish a consistent relationship link between changes in position and quality of performance. It is concluded that development of a diagnostic measure of tactical decision making will require a different approach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air combat maneuvering free engagements provide a challenging environment for the measurement of aircrew performance. The rapidly evolving technology in ground-based flight simulation and the data collection and analyses capabilities of the airborne Air Force Air Combat Maneuvering Instrmentation/Navy Tactical Combat Training System (ACMI/TACTS) show promise for providing the kinds of data needed for detailed air combat maneuvering performance measurement. An existing database of time history data collected during ACM free engagements on the Simulator for Air-to-Air Combat (SAAC) was re-analyzed using an analyses scheme called TACSPACE. This approach divided each engagement into segments according to the relative positions of the proposed and opponent aircraft in terms of aspect angle, line-of-sight angle, and range between aircraft. Several different performance measurement models were developed from the TACSPACE analyses. These models vary greatly in complexity as different sizes of TACSPACE segments and different analyses within the TACSPACE segments were tested. Large differences were found between the models in their ability to account for performance variance. Strong evidence was found for the efficacy of including measures of control activity in TACSPACE segments corresponding to offensive and defensive positions.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents the study which developed a method for evaluating the effectiveness of various force cueing devices a flight simulator. The concept developed included measurement of pilot behavior, performance, physiology and subjective pilot opinion to evaluate system effectiveness. As a part of this study, a trial evaluation was conducted in a laboratory fighter simulator to validate the evaluation method including identifying which pilot behaviors could best be measured and how the data could be collected and analyzed. Five task scenarios were flown by experienced fighter pilots with and without the presence of force cueing. Control activity and vehicle state data were analyzed to examine the effects of force cueing on pilot performance and control behavior. A debriefing questionnaire was used to elicit the pilot's subjective evaluation. The results of the trial evaluation indicated that the presence of force cueing improved pilot performance, control behavior, and made the simulator more operationally realistic.
