Soldier Vs. Non-Military Novice Performance Patterns In Remote Weapon System Research

Keywords

Abstract

The increasing demand of unmanned systems, such as Remote Weapon Systems, for the U.S. military requires expedited empirical research investigating the dynamics associated with these systems and their interaction with Soldiers. Limited availability and accessibility of active duty Soldiers for study participation presents challenges for researchers to conduct relevant military-related research. The purpose of this study is to propose the use of non-military novices, such as university students, as participants for initial hypothesis testing and pilot experimentation in Remote Weapon Systems research. Previous experiments conducted with active duty Soldiers were replicated with university students to compare patterns of performance and cognitive load. Results indicate several similarities between Student and Soldier performance patterns, thus, justifying the use of non-military novices for research with Remote Weapon Systems.
