|
 | Experiments were designed (1) to develop and validate a training program for using the acoustic sensor to identify vehicles in convoy; (2) to provide estimates of operator performance in identifying vehicles using the acoustic sensor; and (3) to investigate the effect of different sensing concepts and bandwidths on the operator's ability to identify vehicles. Following an orientation and procedure training, 18 school-trained, unattended ground sensor (UGS) operators were tested in ... |

|
| The findings of this report reaffirm the major recommendations made in an earlier effort, viz., that a Naval Intelligence Research Facility (NIRF) be established and that the Naval Intelligence Research Advisory Group (NIRAG) be reorganized. Within the context of these two recommendations, this report describes the objectives of these two activities and presents an organizational and operational configuration which appears most feasible in light of existing objectives and constraints. |

|
| The report describes some coordinated high-altitude experiments which are being conducted by HRB-Singer, Inc., for simulating nuclear-burst effects on long-range VLF propagation. The program consists of five parts: Collection and study of VLF phase and amplitude data over six long-range, high-latitude VLF propagation paths and 2-middle-latitude control paths; collection and study of ionospheric data (cosmic noise absorption data) near Reykjavik, Iceland, and Thule, Greenland; collection and study of other VLF ... |

|
 | This report describes operational activity and technical progress under ONR-sponsored Project Poorboy which is directed toward low cost, interim and quick-fix solutions to operational and intelligence problems of limited conflict. Because of its emphasis, solutions are characterized by their deliberate naivete, simplicity and off-the-shelf nature. Subjects addressed include covered communications, biomagnetism, underwater navigation, variable parameters of x-ray operation, and special communications problems. (Author) |

|
| This report summarizes the work on a performance prediction model to assess decision making adequacy of military commanders, with particular emphasis on the development of latest phase of the work; an application of the information value model to the airborne ASW situation. The application of the model was effected by soliciting judgments from experienced TACCOs (Tactical Coordinators) selected from operational airborne ASW squadrons in the Atlantic Fleet. Problems were run ... |

| SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION IN COMPUTER SIMULATION OF INTELLIGENCE SITUATIONS: AN APPLICATION OF RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY, |

| Authors:
Dennis E. Smith; HRB-SINGER INC STATE COLLEGE PA
|
| Mathematical modeling and computer simulation are being increasingly incorporated into the intelligence community as valuable tools. In many cases where it is difficult or impossible to examine a system directly, a mathematical model of the system may be constructed. Examination of the system is then possible by experimenting with the model via computer simulation. This report presents an expository view of response surface methodology (RSM) and gives examples of how ... |

| Authors:
Allen C. Busch; Robert B. King; HRB-SINGER INC STATE COLLEGE PA
|
| Category I testing has recently been completed on the AN/TSQ-47 Mobile Air Traffic Control/Communications System. This report presents a review of human factors problems which occurred during the Category I testing phase and in prior development phases of the system. The design changes suggested are based on recommendations made prior to the completion of Category I testing for the purpose of outlining tentative system deficiencies. Each shelter is reviewed separately, ... |
