    This study determined control and display criteria for reduced-crew KC-135 tanker operations, validating a new cockpit design through the Tanker Avionics and Aircrew Complement Evaluation (TAACE) Program.

    Area of Science:

    • Aviation Human Factors
    • Aerospace Engineering
    • Military Operations Research

    Background:

    • Operating the KC-135 tanker typically requires a navigator.
    • Reducing crew size presents challenges in control and display design.
    • The Tanker Avionics and Aircrew Complement Evaluation (TAACE) Program was initiated to address these challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine optimal control and display criteria for KC-135 tanker operations with a reduced crew.
    • To address design issues associated with removing the navigator position.
    • To evaluate and validate a redesigned crew system.

    Main Methods:

    • A four-phase approach was employed: mission analysis, design, mockup evaluation, and simulation.
    • Operational responsibilities were defined and documented.

  • Alternative crew station designs were developed and assessed by aircrew members.
  • The usability of the redesigned crew system was validated through simulation.

    • Main Results:

    • A recommended crew station configuration was developed.
    • Control and display criteria for reduced-crew operations were established.
    • The usability and effectiveness of the redesigned crew system were validated.

    Conclusions:

    • The study successfully defined criteria for operating the KC-135 tanker with a reduced crew.
    • The recommended crew station configuration and design philosophy offer a viable solution for future operations.
    • The TAACE Program demonstrated the feasibility of implementing significant crew system redesigns.
