PACKET B
Welcome to the Supporting Arms Trainer - Mobile (SAT-M) usability analysis.
During the next 15–30 minutes you will be asked to work with a prototype of the
training simulator. The purpose of the SAT-M is to bring the simulation center to
the Marine. We are looking to develop training software that will allow Marines to
conduct immersive Call For Fire (CFF) training on a mobile device. You will work
with a prototype of the interface. None of the major functionality has been
implemented yet. The prototype is a series of linked web pages designed to
reflect the program in various states. The data that appears in the various
screens and devices will give the appropriate current values.
The information collected during this evaluation is confidential. We are not testing
you, we are testing the system. Any difficulties encountered are the systems
fault; we need your help to find these problems. Finally, you can stop at anytime
Please answer the following questions which are typically known by a joint
forward observer.
(1) How many mils are in a circle?
______________
(2) Name two Methods of target location.
__________________________________
__________________________________
(3) A 6 digit grid is accurate to how many meters?
____________________
Once you have answered the questions please notify the experimenter. You will
be instructed to spend five minutes getting familiar with the system. Once the five
minutes has passed the experimenter will ask you to conduct a series of short
tasks.
Task 1
When instructed to do so, please press the “home button” and then determine
the bearing and distance to target #12.
