Combat-ready crew performance measurement system: Final report.

Team Training and Evaluation Strategies: A State-of-Art Review

“…By 1974, Obermayer, et al [67] reported that an economically acceptable means of objectively measuring behavioral skills in the team training setting was an elusive goal. This conclusion was echoed by the Defense Science Board's 1975 review [74] of research and development programs in military training.…”

“…One major difficulty relates to the use of multiple standards and the lack of guidance as to the relative value of each component. Such heavy reliance upon judgments of individual evaluators can lead to diminished Army Training and Evaluation Program validity and reliability.Obermayer[67] described a highly sophisticated, semi-automated system for evaluating air crew performance. He stated that in some areas, such as air combat maneuvering, combat readiness determination Is purely subjective.…”

Command and Control Teams: Techniques for Assessing Team Performance

“…For example, Turner and Bard ( Obermayer et al (1974) identified types of flight maneuvers. Each phase was separately assessed.…”

“…Measures of performance of the system or the entire operating unit, in contrast, do assess the degree to which specific team goals are met (Obermayer, Vreuls, Muckler, & Conway, 1974;Turner & Bard, 1972;Zophy, 1975). For example, Turner and Bard ( Obermayer et al (1974) identified types of flight maneuvers.…”
