Assessment of User Reactions to the Multi-service Distributed Training Testbed (MDT2) System
Author: Angelo Mirabella
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Close air support
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
"This research was part of a larger program to develop a methodology for multi-Service training of Close Air Support (CAS), using Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) technology. This paper summarizes all assessment of user reactions to the training. Survey questionnaires. group interviews, and observations of the training were used to obtain data on to questions. What value is added to existing Service training cycles by the DIS methodology developed? How well did the training work? A key finding was that the distributed methodology fills a critical gap in training multi-Service CAS coordination tasks. An important potential application of the research is to 'ramp-up' training in preparation for rotations to combat training centers. Many lessons were learned about how to develop and apply survey and interview instruments as part of a larger evaluation of DIS training. For example, we 'discovered' that for multiple sites and services 'one size does not fit all.' Assessment instruments must be carefully prepared in different versions to suit the varying perspectives and roles of multiple services."--DTIC.

Back-up Training Requirements for the Digitized Battlefield
Author: Margaret S. Salter
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Military art and science
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
"This study report provides an overview of critical training issues facing the Army as the 21st% Century Force becomes increasingly digital. The focus of this report is on understanding the significant change brought about by digitization and the ramifications that may result in degraded mode or back-up training requirements. This report is the first of three prepared under the U.S. Army Research Institute's Studies and Analysis effort titled Back-Up Training Requirements for the Digitized Battlefield. Issues and concerns documented in this report are addressed in two subsequent study reports: Analysis of Emerging Digital and Back-Up Training Requirements and Issues and Recommendations: Training the Digital Force. The impetus for this effort was provided by the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel's Directorate of Personnel Technologies. Of concern was the lack of analysis regarding how the Army should address training and sustaining conventional or back-up skills for operations when digital system capabilities become degraded. This issue will become increasingly important as digitization of the force increases and resources decrease."--DITC.

Enhancing Performance in Light Infantry Digital Tactical Operation Centers
Author: Scott E. Graham
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Computer simulation
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
"At the request of the Commanding General, U.S. Army Infantry Center, this report assesses whether current digitization efforts for the light forces are addressing the specific needs of light forces, as opposed to more simply migrating heavy/mechanized digital solutions to light platforms. Twelve Infantry leaders, selected by the Chief, Dismounted Battlespace Battle Lab, provided information: the most critical digital concerns for light Infantry; differences between light and heavy tactical operations centers (TOCs); battle captain requirements; modifications of light infantry tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) resulting from digitization; and 'soldier as a platform' requirements. The most frequently mentioned light Infantry TOC concern was the need for user-friendly, information management capabilities that will allow: situational awareness of friendly and enemy units, more accurate and simpler battle tracking, and integrated access to information across battlefield operating systems. Responses also indicate significant efforts must be made to minimize information overload. New training programs, TTPs, and automated tools must be developed to permit fall utilization of new digital capabilities. The new digital systems must be lightweight, durable, and maintainable, and contain reliable communication links with adequate bandwidth. Relevant results from the Warrior Focus and Focused Dispatch Advanced Warfighting Experiments are also summarized."--DTIC.

Structured Simulation-based Training Program for a Digitized Force
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Computer simulation
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
"This report provides an historical account and analysis of the U.S. Army Research Institute's (ARI) research and development (R & D) efforts on structured simulation-based training (SST). These R & D efforts have led to the development of 30 research reports, 14 conference papers, and over 200 training support packages (TSPs). The developed TSPs focused on optimizing the simulation-based training opportunities for armor and mechanized infantry platoons and companies, and their battalion and brigade staffs. The TSPs have also been developed for representatives of a battalion's or a brigade's combat support and combat service support elements. This report's findings indicate that the developed TSPs would, if utilized properly, help the U.S. Army more fully exploit its advanced simulation-training systems. In addition, 43 lessons learned have been derived from these SST projects. The present report provides a central information source on ARI's SST efforts, and has important implications for future SST research and development efforts."--Stinet.
