ASD-TR-91-5005, KC-35 CREW REDUCTION FEASIBILITY DEMONSTRATION SIMULATION STUDY VOLUME 1: FUNCTION ANALYSIS AND FUNCTION REALLOCATION (JUN-1991)

ASD-TR-91-5005, KC-35 CREW REDUCTION FEASIBILITY DEMONSTRATION SIMULATION STUDY VOLUME 1: FUNCTION ANALYSIS AND FUNCTION REALLOCATION (JUN-1991)., Volume 2 is ASD-TR-92-5003 AND Volume 3 is ASD-TR-92-5004. A function analysis of the four-person crew KC- 135 and function reallocation to a three-person crew were completed in support of the KC-135 Avionics Modernization program. This report is volume one of a three-volume technical report. This effort provided a distribution of functions between automation concepts and the remaining three crewmembers. The function redistribution and automation concepts served as a baseline for a crew station design group to design a cockpit configuration for a three-person crew KC-135 (Vol 1I). This configuration was then implementated in a simulator at the Crew Station Evaluation Facility (CSEF) for a comprehensive man-in-the-loop simulation evaluation (Vol II). The function analysis and reallocation were the first step towards modifying the KC-135 cockpit and will be instrumental in future KC- 135 efforts.
