Use & Relationship

The Mission/Task Analysis Report (MTAR) documents the results of the mission analysis, detailed task analysis, and human performance evaluations used to establish the Job Performance Requirements (JPRs) for a Training System (TS). The MTAR is used to establish JPRs from aircraft mission requirements and to derive task information that fulfills mission objectives.

a. This Data Item Description (DID) is applicable to all Training System acquisition programs. The MTAR is used in conjunction with three other Training Systems Requirements Analysis (TSRA) DIDs: DI-PSSS-82101, Training Requirements Analysis Report (TRAR); DI-PSSS-80569, Objectives and Media Analysis Report (OMAR); and DI-PSSS-82102, Training System Basis Analysis Report (TSBAR). (Copies of these documents are available online at https://quicksearch.dla.mil/.)

b. This DID contains the format, content, and intended use information for the data deliverable resulting from the work task described in the solicitation.

c. This DID supersedes DI-SESS-81635A.

Preparation Instructions

1Reference documents.The applicable issue of the documents cited herein, including their approval dates and dates of any applicable amendments, notices, and revisions, shall be as specified in the contract.

2Format.Contractor format is acceptable.

3Content.The MTAR process includes the JPR analysis for each type of aircrew, maintenance, and ground personnel to be trained by the TS. The JPRs are established upon accomplishment of the mission analysis, task analysis, and human performance evaluations associated with each aircraft type. JPRs shall contain a hierarchy of levels of detail, including: identifying information, training factors, and task activity description and support information. The MTAR shall include the following information:

3.1Mission Analysis.This section shall contain analysis results information about each mission aircraft. Results shall document the inductive methodology used to examine the operational requirements and missions. The analysis results shall show the kinds and extent of human involvement required to fulfill mission objectives. Results from each mission analyzed shall include the following:

3.1.1Mission Objective.This section shall contain the specific results or outcomes associated with successful accomplishment of the mission.

3.1.2Mission Scenario.This section shall describe the full range of conditions under which a mission profile is or could be performed in a realistic operational environment. A mission scenario shall include threat conditions expected to be encountered or engaged during the mission. Threat conditions shall be based upon current authoritative threat products. A mission scenario shall also contain the information required to determine the operational conditions of performance and workload requirements of crew members for each mission.

3.1.3Mission Segments.This section shall describe the time-based segments for each of the missions identified above in 3.1. Each segment shall consist of a collection of related functions and tasks with a common outcome, timing, and contribution to total mission performance. Listing of mission segments shall correspond to the basic aircraft's mission and shall include the following breakout:

3.1.3.1Mission planning.

3.1.3.2Preflight system checkouts.

3.1.3.3Load operations.

3.1.3.4Takeoff and launch.

3.1.3.5Departure and climb to altitude and heading.

3.1.3.6Enroute navigation during cruise.

3.1.3.7Aerial refueling.

3.1.3.8Rendezvous with support aircraft and penetration to target area, drop point, or forward base.

3.1.3.9Airdrop and weapons employment.

3.1.3.10Enroute, defensive maneuver, and electronic warfare tactics.

3.1.3.11Load or unload operations.

3.1.3.12Egress from target area.

3.1.3.13Recovery, approach, and landing.

3.1.3.14Post-flight procedures.

3.1.3.15Mission debrief.

3.1.4Mission Profile.This section shall describe each mission profile and shall include the following information:

3.1.4.1Mission Map Descriptions.Map(s) showing terrain and other discrete events that are encountered at fixed points along the mission. Each map or chart shall include the following:

3.1.4.1.1Location of takeoff airfield(s), navigation, penetration target points, corridors, and areas of operation.

3.1.4.1.2Rendezvous point for air refueling, Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS), or supporting or penetrating aircraft.

3.1.4.1.3Check points to be used.

3.1.4.1.4Expected flight paths and divert routes, including turn points and way points.

3.1.4.1.5Maximum range and location of acquisition and engagement threats, and terminal target defenses.

3.1.4.1.6Linear distance scale superimposed on the flight path.

3.1.4.2Graph and Scale Descriptions.Graphs and scales depicting factors that changed or could have changed during the course of the mission. Units shall be included along with the graphs and scales, as appropriate, such as for the expected altitude, airspeeds, accelerations, etc. A scale for elapsed time shall be shown beneath the chart or map. In a similar fashion to the elapsed time scale, include the following:

3.1.4.2.1A graph indicating expected altitude.

3.1.4.2.2A graph indicating the probability of encountering enemy defenses overlaying acquisition radars, attack systems, and air-to-air threats.

3.1.4.2.3A graph indicating anticipated airspeeds.

3.1.4.2.4A graph indicating transverse and angular acceleration.

3.1.4.2.5A scale indicating frequency of communication with ground and friendly aircraft.

3.1.4.2.6A scale depicting relative crew workload.

3.1.4.3System and Operator Requirements.Results of time line analysis, link-type analysis, and crew coordination and workload studies. This section shall identify those aircraft systems and subsystems each operator interacts with, types of skills required to operate these systems, and human factors considerations.

3.2Detailed Task Analysis.This section shall contain task analysis results information about each aircrew, maintenance, and ground personnel to be trained in the TS. All critical tasks shall be identified and shall be derived from mission-related functions. Critical tasks include all tasks that break down into further subtasks, operating procedures, or describe a discrete set of responses.
