Book Description
As the U.S. Army continues development of a Live-Virtual-Constructive Integrated Training Environment, the reliance on aviation simulators and simulations will take on more importance in the overall aviation collective training mission. Consequently, refinement of requirements for simulation and simulator capabilities and their effective utilization are essential. The primary objective of the research reported here was to identify Army aviation collective training challenges and to compare those needs to current (and planned) collective simulation capabilities. The specific gaps among collective training challenges, simulation capabilities, and simulation utilization can be used to inform simulation development and to guide training development. Based on the findings, a simulation-training analysis tool was developed that maps the training challenges to simulation-training resources. The resulting analysis tool facilitates data-driven recommendations for maximizing use of current and planned simulations-training resources to meet key training challenges. Overall, the findings suggested that while current simulation-training resources address many training challenges, some capability gaps exist, and there are multiple opportunities to increase the effective utilization of simulation-training resources given current capabilities
