Book Description
In an attempt to determine if different professional groups use differing subjective scales for defining ''level of automation'' of checkout equipment, 19 engineering psychologists and 19 design engineers were administered a paired comparisons judgment task consisting of cards containing phases indicating various levels of man-machine automation. The resulting scaled responses for both groups contained rank-order inversions of an original intuitively developed scale. Intervals between scale points also differed between the groups. As a result of these findings, if Air Force requirements are specified for automation level of checkout equipment in weapon systems development programs, the type of raters involved and the associated potential problems of interdisciplinary communications between professions should be considered.

Book Description
Engineering files of 13 Air Force weapon systems were searched for information on the various types of checkout equipment in use by the Air Force today. In this search, emphasis was placed on the man-machine relationships involved in the operation of the equipment. The information was used in developing a tentative Level-of-Automation scale; and 37 items of checkout equipment w re rated on this scale. Checkout equipment problem areas which should be investigated are identified.

Book Description
"This report summarizes an investigation of the high skill level requirements found in missile systems employing automatic electronic test and checkout equipment. Automation has not resulted in lowering manpower demands because (1) testing and maintenance requirements and objectives have not been systematically defined and (2) manual operations have not been completely described or programmed. A "maintenance system" design approach is outlined as a method for overcoming these deficiencies. Further research is recommended in development of techniques for evaluating the design of test logic, maintenance operations, and manual tasks."--Abstract.
