Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. D. J. Stuntz (illustrator). Neuware - A new school, new friends, and a new surf season. Things are looking up for Marguerite McGregor. Between a blossoming friendship with fellow surfer Rafael and an upcoming surfing competition, Marguerite's life finally seems to be heading in the right direction. But when Rafael witnesses a brutal murder and the killers turn their sights on him, can Marguerite find a way to help her friend without getting caught in the line of fire herself.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - After accumulating mishap data from the 1990's, accident investigations are revealing that pilot error causes approximately 80% of aviation mishaps. But, apply a bit more aggressive critical analysis into the type of human errors occurring highlight the fact that task saturation, lack of situational awareness, and checklist errors are the leading factors. Although 'stick and rudder' errors still occur due to poor piloting skills or deficiencies in training, the majority of the human errors are linked to the pilot's mental abilities. Current USAF fighters are pushing the limit of the pilot's ability to collect and comprehend enormous amounts of information. The cumulative effects of these technologies, which were intended to increase situational awareness and lethality, are in actuality responsible for the loss of situational awareness due to task saturation. The focus of this research will be on pilots' mental abilities and identifying known limitations within the cognitive process. But, innovative information technologies and other ergonomic efforts within the cockpit will also be looked at because it is impossible to look at the cognitive perspective in isolation. We must also look at the interaction the mind has with physical characteristics of a fighter aircraft. Renovating the vehicle in which the checklist information is communicated to pilots could be a potential solution to fight task saturation, susceptibility to spatial disorientation and overall mental errors in today's cockpit. The fundamental conclusion resulting from this research is electronic checklists and data-based information banks can optimize pilot workload, situation awareness, and improve overall air combat performance by taking advantage of new information storage capabilities. The ultimate goal is to integrate this information into the 'glass cockpit' seamlessly without increasing pilot workload resulting in decreased pilot errors. Vital to the success of this endeavor is the ability to pr.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The joint force commander (JFC) and his staff are increasingly challenged with emerging complexities of the 21st Century security environment. The purpose of this paper was to analyze the joint force command environment, trying to assess the factors that influence a JFC's ability to effectively prosecute dual-hatted responsibilities. More specifically, the research investigated to determine whether it is in the best interest of the joint force and the overall objectives of the theater campaign to have a JFC dual-hat himself as a subordinate functional or Service component commander in a major theater of war. The analysis started with an examination of the commander in chief's (CINC's) environment by way of legislation, doctrine, and international developments. The purpose of this analysis was two-fold: First, to make the reader clearly aware of the JFC's complex environment, to include the CINC's roles and responsibilities; Second, to highlight the preeminent task of organizing an effective command and control (C2) structure for the entire force. The analysis then proceeded to look at the true aim of an effective C2 structure: the ability to empower the decision-maker and his staff with superior situational awareness and an ability to make better decisions faster than the adversary. Situational awareness (SA) is the dominant feature that gives a JFC the ability to comprehend and predict future actions within his theater. A C2 structure that enables high SA acknowledges the cognitive limitations of humans and sets an acceptable span of control that optimizes the workload of the JFC and his staff. The analysis concluded with historical examples of three JFCs who dual-hatted themselves as subordinate component commanders. The issue was and is one of effectiveness for a JFC. The JFC can help his cause by maintaining a theater perspective through organizing an effective command and control structure that embraces the complexities of his environment. The JFC and his staf.
