| Abstract | Abstract : For this report, 29 Stinger teams were tested wearing chemical protective clothing under conditions of MOPPO (Mission Oriented Protective Posture 0) and MOPP4 in the Range Target System engagement simulation facility. Twelve teams performed without precise cuing information, and 17 performed with precise cuing information. Measurements were recorded for engagement performance, stress, workload, and vision. Engagement performance was degraded by wearing MOPP4, but was improved with the addition of precise visual cues. Use of these cues substantially reduced the degradation from wearing MOPP4. For rotary-wing targets' cues restored 53% of the engagement time lost to MOPP4. For fixed-wing targets, cues restored engagement ranges to MOPPO levels. Reported stress and workload ratings were higher for MOPP4 than for MOPPO. Detection performance of Stinger team chiefs both in MOPPO and MOPP4, was correlated with several measures of visual sensitivity. |
