Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The search for new, innovative approaches to training has led the U.S. Army Simulation, Training and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM) in Orlando, Florida to develop a new family of high technology, computer-based training facilities called the Combined Arms Tactical Trainer (CATT). These training facilities will support realistic, interactive, combined arms training involving army units at the same or different locations operating in a virtual environment on a digitized battlefield. The first of the CATT family to be developed will be the Close Combat Tactical Trainer facility featuring manned simulator modules for training armored and mechanized forces at battalion and below. Two versions of the CCTT system are under development: fixed-site system and mobile systems. Figure 1 below depicts the general layout and major components of a fixed-site CCTT facility. The manned simulator modules of the CCTT include main battle tanks, armored personnel carriers and command and control vehicles. The operations center emulates and controls battlefield operating systems that habitually train with the unit undergoing training. The after action review consoles replay segments of a training scenarios for the training unit to illustrate training lessons. The master control console starts and ends the training scenarios, and controls the tempo of the training scenario as well. The maintance console monitors the systems and conducts system diagnostics. There are also consoles for controlling the computer generated, and semiautomatic forces that populate the digitized battlefield during scenario execution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report describes the third in a series of projects to design and develop the Commanders' Integrated Training Tool (CITT) for the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT), a system of armored vehicle manned-module simulators and workstations that allows units to train collective armor and infantry tasks at the platoon through battalion task force level. The CITT provides unit commanders and other trainers with comprehensive information on CCTT and on structured training as well as the ability to produce exercise Training Support Packages. Previous projects produced the design for the objective CITT and prototype applications in desktop and web-based formats. The current project produced a fully-fieldable CITT including the embedded CCTT Exercise Initialization Tool. This version was expanded to include stability and support operations capabilities, use of CCTT enhancements, and increased flexibility of file use to allow it to run on any computer with sufficient resources. Near-, mid-, and long-term implementation strategies and fielding plans were developed and are presented along with lessons learned and recommendations for future actions."--DTIC.

This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes a project conducted to develop a methodology to evaluate collective training devices and apply that methodology to the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT). CCTT is a complex collective training device; there are significant cost and operational management issues in performing a controlled training transfer study or effectiveness evaluation. The study developed a qualitative method for performing qualitative effectiveness assessments and used it to evaluate the effectiveness of CCTT. The methodology was demonstrated to be effective. Based on analysis of feedback and perceptions acquired during data collection visits to units and fixed sites the consensus opinion of users is that CCTT is performing the mission for which it was designed. Users have embraced the technology, are enthusiastic proponents as well as eager users, and have little criticism of the simulator technology, the overall training environment, or site operations. CCTT is a critical capability that provides a step or gate in preparing for major live training events. Users do not rate the importance of training in CCTT as highly as field training. Planning for CCTT exercises and command oversight of those activities varies significantly by unit.
