Download or read book Combined Arms Structured Simulation based Training Programs written by Dorothy L. Finley and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of research and development programs on structured simulation-based training (SST) were conducted during the period 1993-1999. These programs focused on developing SST training Support packages (TSPs) to meet collective training requirements for the combined arms at echelons of brigade and below. An SST development methodology was also produced. The purpose of the methodology was to support future TSP developments as requirements for them are identified. This report represents the second portion of a two-part examination of issues related to SST. The first report described the history of these programs and their lessons learned. This report presents findings in three areas which were either not directly addressed or insufficiently resolved in published SST reports. These areas are: the respective roles of the constructivism and behaviorism/Systems Approach to Training instructional theories in designing the SST TSPs; needs for additional information and SST- related research; and planning and logistical requirements for integrating and maintaining SST as a part of the U.S. Army training system. The information needed to address these three areas was obtained from structured interviews and questionnaires.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The U.S. Army Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM) is developing the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT) to support maneuver training for platoon and company units. The CCTT is the first part of the Combined Anms Tactical Training (CATT) system providing operational training for combined arms foroes on a virtual battlefield. The U.S. Army Research Institute (ARI) also is developing structured CCTT training support packages TSPs) for required mission and task training. Successfiil structured training in the Virtual Training program (VTP) with Simulation Networking (SIMNET) established a model for similar CaT training. This report examines integrated system management needed to implement suceessfull training with the CCTT and its TSPs. While CCTT development has focused on simulation requirements, and TSP development has focused on training requirements, total system management has been a secondary consideration. Conceived in a Total Quality Management (TQM) framework, the report proposes processes designed to sustain and improve the training effectiveness of the CCTT thronghout system life. The emphasis is on continuous monitoring of training proces and products to provide management feedback, and establishing process action teams to define and solve system problems. The report identifies some training process indicators, and possible management Support tools."--DTIC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. military continues to develop and expand its use of simulation-based aviation training. While traditional simulation-based training continues to be a proven training method, game-based simulation has become more sophisticated and may provide viable training options in some applications. The use of game-based simulation with traditional simulation-based training can potentially reduce costs, enhance return on investment, advance training objectives, and inform future training environment designs. Current fiscal limitations are driving the need for more efficient training methods, while operational requirements are dictating training protocols that produce optimum levels of readiness. The gap between fiscal constraints and desired training outcomes can be addressed by investigating whether lower-cost, game-based simulations may potentially augment higher-cost, traditional simulation-based training approaches for specific training tasks. Performing a valid investigation of the value of these simulation environments depends on a thorough evaluation of their training effectiveness. However, current approaches to Training Effectiveness Evaluation (TEE) do not adequately address the complete range of factors required to effectively investigate this gap. The present effort leverages research from human performance assessment, neurophenomenology, and instructional science to identify and integrate a set of empirically validated measures that contribute to training effectiveness. From this foundation, an interdisciplinary approach to performing TEEs for simulation training is introduced that addresses the shortcomings of current practices. This approach is validated in a use case involving the evaluation of U.S. Army Aviation collective training.

Download or read book Observations about Defining Collective Training Requirements written by Kenneth D. Cross and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past, collective training requirements have been defined in terms of the mission, mission segments, or broad functions that an Army aviation unit must learn to perform as a group. It is impossible to infer from these broad task descriptions the specific knowledge and skills that can be acquired only through collective training. Without a clear understanding of these requisite knowledge and skills, it is impossible to make prudent decisions about the level of realism that is required for each component of a collective training simulator. This white paper describes the nature of the problem and describes the authors' views about the unique knowledge and skills that can be acquired and sustained only through collective training exercises. All comments are airmed at the training requirements for the Aviation Reconfigurable Manned Simulator (ARMS) and development of the U.S. Army National Guard Bureau (USANGB).-- P.i.
