Whitaker, Leslie, Peters, Leslie and Garinther, Georges (1990): Effects of Speech Intelligibility among Bradley Fighting Vehicle Crew Members: SIMNET Performance and Subjective Workload. In: D., Woods, and E., Roth, (eds.) Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 34th Annual Meeting 1990, Santa Monica, USA. pp. 186-188.

“Speech communication among crew members in military vehicles suffers from several sources which interfere with speech intelligibility. The effects of intelligibility were studied in the SIMNET Training facility at Ft. Benning, GA. Twelve Bradley-qualified, three-man crews were tested on a series of navigation and gunnery exercises. A repeated measures design was used to test”

Whitaker, Leslie, Peters, Leslie and Garinther, Georges (1989): Tank Crew Performance: Effects of Speech Intelligibility on Target Acquisition and Subjective Workload Assessment. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 1411-1413.

“Thirty tank crews were tested in the Ft. Knox COFT tank simulator. The COFT simulator is a gunnery training facility. The crew's task was to shoot specified energy targets. Each crew consisted of a tank commander and a gunner. The commander told the gunner, via an intercom system, which enemy object was the next target. Performance and subjective workload were measured as a function of the speech intelligibility transmitted by the intercom system. Five levels of intelligibility were tested. The measures of operational effectiveness were the number of targets correctly fired upon and the gunner's latency. Subjective workload was measured using the Subjective Workload Assessment Technique (SWAT). Gunner performance and subjective workload covaried across intelligibility levels. Performance was not significantly”
