The P-3C long range maritime patrol aircraft has evolved over the past thirty years into a very complex, multi-sensor weapons system platform. Increased effectiveness has been achieved by incorporating systems that rapidly process large amounts of data. However, crew members operate within relatively fixed, cognitive limitations. Mission tasks are divided among the crew members who must work together to monitor, assess and control these complex information processing systems. Little emphasis has been placed on enhancing team performance through better communication and coordination among the team members. This research effort provides an exploratory study of factors which impact team performance. Areas analyzed include current P-3C human factors, deficiencies that inhibit group interaction, a review of communication and group interaction literature relevant to the P-3C aircrew team environment, and an analysis of tactical crew station arrangement, and an analysis of tactical crew station arrangements in allied maritime patrol aircraft.
