Abstract

This study examined the effects of encapsulation, from a systems development perspective using mobility, shooting performance, target identification, radio call sign recognition, and psychological performance measures. The study sought to develop a systematic and diagnostic method for evaluating the interactions between various key components of the ensemble and individual soldier tasks. The purpose was to assess the utility of using standardized facilities and tasks for taking a more integrative, systems approach to soldier-equipment compatibility. Three configurations (baseline-no encapsulation; current nuclear-biological-chemical (NBC); future land warrior) were evaluated. Dependent measures are discussed in terms of time to complete common soldier tasks, shooting performance, and cognitive workload performance.
