Book excerpt: This report evaluates the effectiveness of the AH-1 Flight and Weapons Simulator (FWS) for sustaining crew gunnery proficiency in the AH-1F helicopter. Following an initial live-fire exercise, the participating AH-1 crews were assigned to one of three groups. The control group continued normal unit training but was restricted from gunnery practice in the FWS. Both experimental groups were restricted in gunnery practice in the aircraft but were required to receive either quarterly or monthly gunnery training in the FWS. The gunnery performance of the participating crews was evaluated at a final live- fire exercise 15 months after the initial exercise. The results indicate that the FWS is moderately effective in sustaining crew gunnery proficiency: Compared with the control group crews during the final exercise, the experimental group crews exhibited improved first-run performance and required fewer runs, engagements, and rockets to qualify. The results are very similar for the 20-mm gun, 2.75-inch rocket, and tube-launched, optically sighted, wire-guided (TOW) missile weapon systems. The results indicate that quarterly training is as effective as monthly training for sustaining aerial gunnery skills, but questions remain about the effect of recency of training. Finally, the data were used to estimate ammunition requirements and to evaluate established standards for AH-1 crew qualifications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army must balance cost and training effectiveness in acquiring a Kiowa Warrior Crew Trainer (KWCT). This entails determining the least fidelity required for specific training objectives, employing the least costly technology. A fidelity analysis was conducted which involved (a) analysis of training requirements, (b) review of the literature, and (c) empirical assessment of a benchmark KWCT. Subject matter experts (SMEs) identified 13 tasks for which training in the aircraft alone was inadequate. It was concluded that the KWCT should train these tasks under the full range of visibility conditions and when affected by obscurants. The literature revealed virtually no data on display resolution required to train tasks other than target detection and identification. It also implied that a visual display system with adequate field-of-view (FOV) and resolution for target detection and identification at realistic standoff ranges would be prohibitively expensive. For the benchmark KWCT assessment, small sample size made performance evaluation difficult. Gunnery was more affected by degraded depth cues when resolution was low (480 lines), than when high (768 lines). Low resolution was perceived as inadequate for all tasks and high resolution as marginally adequate for gunnery. FOV was perceived as less critical to gunnery than to general flying.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For this report, researchers conducted a transfer of training study to investigate the effectiveness of the AH-1 Flight and Weapons Simulator (FWS) as a training device for the reacquisition of skills on five emergency touchdown maneuvers (ETMs). Twenty aviators assigned to operational aviation units served as subjects. All aviators received initial check rides in the aircraft and the FWS and were assigned to one of two groups on the basis of their checkride scores. The control group received training to proficiency in the aircraft on each of the five maneuvers and a second checkride in the FWS. The experimental group received training to proficiency in the FWS on each of the five maneuvers followed by similar training in the aircraft. Analysis of the initial checkride scores indicated that the aviator's skills were deficient on the ETMs prior to the study. They required extensive training to reach proficiency in the FWS but relatively little training to regain proficiency in the aircraft. Prior training in the FWS reduced the number of practice trials and the amount of flight training time required to reach proficiency in the aircraft. However, training in the existing FWS alone is insufficient for reacquisition of ETM skills to a standard of aircraft proficiency. In view of the prohibition on practice of ETMs in the aircraft, it is recommended that the Army initiate a product improvement program for the FWS. (sdw).
