摘要

The Individual Shooting Scenario (ISS) is a simulated marksmanship task designed to assess the effects of equipment on marksmanship performance in a controlled and repeatable manner. This study aimed to provide a proof of concept for a modified ISS methodology that implemented a dynamic roving task as a proof of concept for evaluating the impact of clothing and individual equipment on marksmanship performance. This modified methodology was termed the Modified Operationally Versatile Engagement (MOVE) ISS. Eight US Army Soldiers completed the ISS in six different equipment configurations that had a high degree of overlap in subcomponents with minor differences in weight, fit, and bulk. Even with the very limited sample and similarity between test configurations, the ISS methodology was sensitive enough to detect differences in marksmanship lethality, mobility, and stability performance. This study provides a proof of concept for this modified ISS methodology, suggesting it is sensitive enough to detect subtle effects of clothing and individual equipment on marksmanship performance.
