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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report describes the Structured Training for Units in the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (STRUCCTT) Project. The purposes of this project were to: (a) design and develop a basic core set of exercises to support initial Close Combat Tactical Trainer (user testing and future fielding, and (b) develop an exercise framework within which future exercises can fit as part of a contextually complete family of exercises. This report first describes the background of this initiative (the use of structured simulation-based training in CCTT) and identifies the objectives laid out for project completion. It then discusses the project's design, development, and formative evaluation processes. The design section describes the processes and procedures involved in creation of the exercise mission scenarios and training objectives. The development section highlights the processes that comprise and contribute to the creation of completed exercises, to include training support packages and demonstrations of performance. The formative evaluation section describes the project evaluation strategy and methodology, and the processes by which exercise testing and modification were conducted. Following this section, the lessons learned section presents issues which framed the project's progress and development, and which may provide insight and directions for additional developmental work. A final concluding section discusses the ramifications of this project, with recommendations for future development efforts."--Stinet.

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 2008-11-30 with total page 1441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasingly complex environment of the 21st century demands unprecedented knowledge, skills and abilities for people from all walks of life. One powerful solution that blends the science of learning with the technological advances of computing is Virtual Environments. In the United States alone, the Department of Defense has invested billions of dollars over the past decade to make this field and its developments as effective as possible. This 3-volume work provides, for the first time, comprehensive coverage of the many different domains that must be integrated for Virtual Environments to fully provide effective training and education. The first volume is dedicated to a thorough understanding of learning theory, requirements definition and performance measurement, providing insight into the human-centric specifications the VE must satisfy to succeed. Volume II provides the latest information on VE component technologies, and Volume III offers discussion of an extensive collection of integrated systems presented as VE use-cases, and results of effectiveness evaluation studies. The text includes emerging directions of this evolving technology, from cognitive rehabilitation to the next generation of museum exhibitions. Finally, the handbook offers a glimpse into the future with this fascinating technology. This groundbreaking set will interest students, scholars and researchers in the fields of military science, technology, computer science, business, law enforcement, cognitive psychology, education and health. Topics addressed include guidance and interventions using VE as a teaching tool, what to look for in terms of human-centered systems and components, and current training uses in the Navy, Army, Air Force and Marines. Game-based and long distance training are explained, as are particular challenges such as the emergence of VE sickness. Chapters also highlight the combination of VE and cybernetics, robotics and artificial intelligence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report describes the work done on the "Structured Training for Units in the Close Combat Tactical Trainer-2" (STRUCCTT-2) Project, a follow-on to the STRUCCTT Project. The purposes of this project were to (a) develop additional exercises for inclusion in the initial training support packages (TSPs) and (b) develop an orientation course TSP and exercises which are necessary to support the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT) complete system fielding. This report first summarizes the background (the use of structured simulation-based training in CCTT) and identifies the technical objectives for the project. The development section discusses the processes used to create the TSBs. The formative evaluation section details the project evaluation strategy and method and includes a description of exercise and TSP testing and modification. Following this segment, the lessons learned present issues regarding this project's processes and product development which provide insight and direction for additional developemtn work. The final section of the report contains a discussion of recommendations for future TSP development."--Stinet.
