Description
Fatigue and other stress factors (stressors) affect Ground Soldier and Small Unit (SSU) operational effectiveness. Analysts require an understanding of the causes and effects of fatigue and supporting data (i.e., to characterize fatigue) and need a way to represent and assess the cognitive effects of fatigue on decision making and physical activities. To address this, we propose to design and demonstrate the feasibility of a Dynamic Representation for Evaluating the Effect of Moderators and Stress on Performance (DREEMS). DREEMS is a research program to characterize fatigue and other stressors, define the elements of operation effectiveness in terms of critical tasks and processes, and develop a methodology for finding, analyzing, and using data to characterize the effects of fatigue on operational effectiveness. DREEMS provides the knowledge and data to support modeling the degradation in performance of physical and decision-making tasks in a constructive simulation.
