With the development of increasingly complex weapons systems, the Army community has become sensitive to the need for accurate assessment of the human performance components of such systems. Because human operators are integrally tied to a dynamically changing weapons environment, it is becoming increasingly difficult to assess overall system performance without considering the human element. As a result, a computer simulation model of the AN/TSQ-73 Guided Missile Air Defense System operator/repairman was developed to demonstrate the capability to estimate human and other system performance measures using digital simulation. SAINT, a combined discrete/continuous network simulation language, was used as the vehicle for developing the model. This paper describes the SAINT network simulation model of the AN/TSQ-73 system in which the operator/repairman monitors targets and controls the assignment of fire units through the use of a visual (CRT) display of flight paths and parameters.
