COGNITIVE TASK ANALYSIS OF SMALL TEAM INFANTRY TASKS

Defence Research and Development Canada, Toronto ON has a requirement for Cognitive Task Analysis (CTA) of small team infantry and ground-base operations. Specific information is required as to how these small teams make and execute decisions during short, high-tempo, high-risk, and high-stress operations, especially in the urban environment. A previous R & D effort examined the decision making process of small police teams taking part in a simulated hostage situation and house clearing task. Additional CTA and decision making analysis is required of Candian Forces infantry personnel involved in specific military type tasks.

Tasks:

a) Undertake a CTA analysis of simulated small-unit operations involving CF personnel at CFB Gagetown and/or CFB Petawawa.

b) Undertake a analysis of the naturalistic decision making process used during the simulated small-unit operations.

The Bidder must have demonstrated capability and have a proven track (as shown by contract reports, peer review papers, or patent applications) in the theory and application of Cognitive Task Analysis (CTA) and Naturalistic Decision Making (NDM) analysis.

The work will be performed during the period from date of award to 31 July 2008 ....
