The development and use of the Tactical Aircrew Training System (TACTS) as a means for training advanced air combat skills are described. Pilot performance measurement capabilities of the TACTS are reviewed in terms of their value for pilot selection, aircrew training, assessment, and simulator design. Several approaches and methods used to conceptualize and measure air combat maneuvering (ACM) performance are presented. Limitations in existing TACTS performance measurement capabilities are illustrated in terms of several psychometric, training, and TACTS operational user feasibility requirements for a system of performance measurement. It is concluded that while the existing TACTS represents a highly advanced aviation engineering technology that can provide extremely valuable training, that same technology has largely ignored the functional requirements for a system of human performance measurement. Improvements in the TACTS performance measurement capabilities will improve its training value even further. (Author)
