Description
Summary:The relationship between anti-submarine (ASW) helicopter team performance and the content and flow of communications within the team during a simulated attack was investigated. Fourteen distinct communications variables were found to be correlated with the objective performance measurement criterion (miss distance) employed. The factors were named 'probabilistic structure,' 'evaluative interchange,' 'hypothesis formulation,' and 'leadership control.' The findings of this study suggest the value of developing scaled performance measures as diagnostic devices for evaluating inflight crew behavior, as predictors of success in the Fleet, and as end-ofcourse measures. The implications of the findings for training devices and training device problems are developed. (Author)
