abstract="The U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center (ATC) conducted a Joint Distributed Free-Play Event (JDFE) during the period 22 August through 1 September 2005. The primary goal of the JDFE was to demonstrate a proof of concept using Human Systems Integration testing and analytical techniques in a free-play field event. Nine unique vignettes were conducted which provided different decision-making points, tailored the battlefield information available, and centered on a Joint Personnel Recovery mission that highlighted efforts to rescue a downed pilot. The friendly forces engaged in free-play activities while enemy forces and battlefield civilians followed scripted activities. Areas of study included audio-visual documentation of the event and stress and situational awareness characterization of the participants. Physiological data, including heart rate and core body temperature, and a real time casualty assessment were collected along with Warfighter fit and comfort ratings of test instrumentation.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
