Mission-qualified F-4 pilots scheduled for training in the Simulator for Air-to-Air Combat (SAAC) flew two consecutive 2-min engagements against a computer-simulated adversary aircraft both before and after SAAC training. The SAAC models the flight characteristics of the different F-4 missile systems and was programmed to specify on a continual basis whether or not the adversary aircraft was within the pilot's weapon-firing envelope for each missile system. Data collected were used to calculate hit rates and false-alarm rates in an application of the theory of signal detectability (TSD). Relevant parameters were derived by solving for the (inferred) decision window that optimized goodness-of-fit to power-law ROC curves. The results suggest that TSD represents a promising approach to systematically studying changes in pilot decision-making behavior as a function of training.

This handbook is perfect for those interested in joining the army as well as for those who merely want to learn how to shoot combat pistols. The U.S. Army Combat Pistol Training Handbook (FM 3-23.35) reflects current Army standards in weapons qualification and can be a guide for the instructor to develop training programs, plans, and lessons that meet the objectives of the U.S. Army Marksmanship program for developing combat effective marksmen. The first part focuses on the components and functions of the pistols, where readers will learn about components, ammunition, maintenance and assembly, clearing procedures, preventive maintenance, operation, loading, unloading and clearing, troubleshooting, and much more. The second part is where things get fun and where readers will find instructions on topics such as basic marksmanship, grip and aiming, breath control, trigger squeeze, techniques of firing, target engagement, combat reloading techniques, coaching, and safety, among others. Finally, the appendixes include a thorough explanation of the U.S. Army qualification courses and training schedules. This compact guide will tell you everything you need to know about training with an M9 or M11 pistol. Loaded with illustrations and charts, this handbook shows as well as tells how to be the best pistol shooter in the Army.
