THIS VOLUME GIVES A CONCISE DESCRIPTION OF THE OVERALL SYSTEM AND SOFTWARE AS WELL AS AN OVERVIEW OF THE TECHNICAL AND HUMAN FACTORS FINDINGS OF THE PILOT TEST WHICH ARE TRANSLATED INTO RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE SUBSEQUENT OPERATIONAL FIELD TEST AND EVALUATION. FOR THE SYSTEM AND PILOT TEST DESCRIPTION, AND THE SUPPORTING DESIGN AND FIELD DATA, SEE NCJ-35093 AND 35094. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)
