Book Description
"This research describes the results of an independent assesment of the functional capabilities of four virtual individual combatant (VIC) simulators. Infantry soldiers were given the opportunity to operate each VIC in a series of squad-based scenarios requiring the performance of both individual and collective tasks in a desert or urban setting. The results indicated that the more realistic the action or equipment used and the more reliable the VIC, the more the soldiers liked that system. An important consideration in the development of future generation VICS is the specific purpose (s) to be served by these systems, e.g., mission planning and rehearsal versus training individual soldier skills. The data collected from this research provide an important first step in the development of a set of dismounted infantry requirements for manned simulators that will support the integration of the individual soldier into the virtual battlefield."--DTIC.

Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
"The U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) held a formal In-House Researcher Colloquium on 20 November 1997 in Alexandria, Virginia. The main purpose of the colloquium was to provide an opportunity for cross-unit discussion among ARI's more junior researchers. The eight researchers who presented research findings at the colloquium represented ARI's Armored Forces Research Unit, the Automated Training Methods Research Unit, the Fort Leavenworth Research Unit, the infantry Forces Research Unit, the Organization and Personnel Resources Research Unit, the Rotary-Wing Aviation Research Unit, the Selection and Assignment Research Unit, and the Simulator Systems Research Unit. Each research topic was specifically selected by the Research Unit Chief as an example of the best of research being performed at the unit. This report provides brief summaries of the research and biographies of the researchers. It also serves as an example of the range of behavioral and social science research being addressed by in-house researchers at ARI as well as of the backgrounds of ARI's research staff."--DTIC.

Virtual Environments for Infantry Soldiers

Languages : en
Pages : 38
Book Description
"This report describes the work on a Science and Technology Objective (STO) entitled Virtual Environments for Dismounted Soldier Simulation, Training and Mission Rehearsal. The four-year (Fiscal Year FY 99-FY 02) STO effort was proposed to address a range of U.S. Army future operational capabilities described in U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Pamphlet 525-66 (U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, 1997). The STO activities and goals were focused on overcoming critical technological challenges that prevented effective Infantry Soldier simulation. The U. S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) led a team of both government and industry developers in examining simulation capabilities for industry. The other government partners vent the U.S. Army Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM) and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory Human Research and Engineering Directorate (ARL-HRED) and Computational and information Sciences Directorate (ARL-ClSD). Each of the major players had a particular area of interest but all worked together to explore concepts and systems and to recommend directions for further work on training, concept development, and mission rehearsal."--DTIC.

Dismounted Warrior Network Enhanced Restricted Terrain (DWN ERT)
Author: David E. Eakin
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
This research encompassed the second in a series of experiments on the functional capabilities of a collection of four Virtual Individual Combatant(VIC) simulation technologies linked in the Dismounted Warrior Network (DWN). These experiments (user and engineering) provided enhanced restricted terrain (ERT) an improved database and VIC systems. The intent was to demonstrate a reliable low cost easy to use way to insert Dismounted Infantry into synthetic virtual environments. Multiple agencies collaborated over several months; experimentation occurred in July 1998. Data collection occurred at the U.S. ArmyInfantry Centers Dismounted Battlespace Battle Lab Land Warrior Testbed and the Fort Benning McKenna Military Observations on Urban Terrain (MOUT) site. The four VICs were networked and the individual soldiers in their VICs appeared (visually) to each other in the virtual environment. User exercises measured theVICs' ability to support the individual soldiers as part of a team performing a collective virtual task of room clearing. The MOUT data collection was an attempt to observe the soldiers in actual room clearing. The U.S. Army Research Institute provided man in the loop observations, results of questionnaires and structured interviews.
