Download or read book The Cost and Effectiveness of the Multi Service Distributed Training Testbed MDT2 for Training Close Air Support written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Multi-Service Distributed Training Testbed (MDT2) is a network of eight Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force simulators (tanks, aircraft, target designator, and tactical operations center) in different locations that can operate together as if all were engaging an enemy at the same location. All are involved in the mission of close air support. Two sets of exercises were conducted, each lasting 5 days. The results show that performance improved, as shown by measures of battle damage, synchronization of forces, and adherence to coordination procedures. Several comparisons of the costs of conducting training for close air support using this type of simulation or participation in field exercises favors simulation by a factor of ten. The findings provide strong evidence for the utility of distributed interactive simulation as a way to provide multi-Service training.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This research was part of a larger program to develop a methodology for multi-Service training of Close Air Support (CAS), using Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) technology. This paper summarizes all assessment of user reactions to the training. Survey questionnaires. group interviews, and observations of the training were used to obtain data on to questions. What value is added to existing Service training cycles by the DIS methodology developed? How well did the training work? A key finding was that the distributed methodology fills a critical gap in training multi-Service CAS coordination tasks. An important potential application of the research is to 'ramp-up' training in preparation for rotations to combat training centers. Many lessons were learned about how to develop and apply survey and interview instruments as part of a larger evaluation of DIS training. For example, we 'discovered' that for multiple sites and services 'one size does not fit all.' Assessment instruments must be carefully prepared in different versions to suit the varying perspectives and roles of multiple services."--DTIC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MDT2 Lessons Learned Final Report on the Close Air Support exercises completed over a long-haul classified network. The Battlefield Distributed Simulation - Developmental (BDS-D) simulation program has demonstrated that man- in-the-loop distributed interactive simulation systems, including an active, intelligent opposing force, can explore the validity of planned hardware configurations as well as the concepts for employment, doctrine, and tactics. The objective of the Multi-service Distributed Training Testbed (MDT2) Training Exercise was to demonstrate the capability to conduct meaningful multi-service, combat mission training using Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) technologies and synthetic battlefields. The focus for this training demonstration was close air support (CAS). The Multi-Service Distributed Training Testbed linked simulations and simulators of all four Services classified at a SECRET/NOFORN level. Airframe crew simulators of Air Force pilots at Armstrong Labs, Mesa, AZ (formerly Williams AFB, AZ), and Marine and Navy pilots at Systems Engineering Test Directorate, Patuxent River, MD, emulated attack and forward air control aircraft. They supported the conduct of ground force operations by Army elements in Advanced Distributed Simulation vehicles and Tactical Operations Center (TOC) at the Mounted Warfare Test Bed (MWTB), Fort Knox, KY. Additionally, a Marine Deployable Forward Observer (DFO)- MULE (ground laser designator) team participated from NRaD-San Diego, CA, using their target identification simulators. The key to the demonstration were the performance measurement and feedback systems used for the CAS training.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For military units to be combat ready, they must be proficient in a collective set of tasks trained at various events. This report presents a research tool called the Training Strategies Optimization Prototype (TSOP) that shows potential to aid commanders in making decisions about how to improve strategies and schedules of training. TSOP was developed to determine whether available Army training data are adequate for systematically deriving alternative training strategies to meet commanders' needs. The prototype uses Army battalion level units, but is adaptable to scheduling problems at other echelons within the Army, for other services, and even for joint applications. This report illustrates TSOP's ability to provide the decision maker with an analytical means by which to schedule training events while considering both performance requirements and resource constraints. In many cases, the maximum level of troop proficiency may be attained through more than one combination of training events. TSOP is designed to allow the decision maker to identify the training strategy to attain and sustain troop proficiency within available resources."--DTIC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in this collection were commissioned by the Board on Testing and Assessment (BOTA) of the National Research Council (NRC) for a workshop held on November 14, 2001, with support from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. Goals for the workshop were twofold. One was to share the major messages of the recently released NRC committee report, Knowing What Students Know: The Science and Design of Educational Assessment (2001), which synthesizes advances in the cognitive sciences and methods of measurement, and considers their implications for improving educational assessment. The second goal was to delve more deeply into one of the major themes of that report-the role that technology could play in bringing those advances together, which is the focus of these papers. For the workshop, selected researchers working in the intersection of technology and assessment were asked to write about some of the challenges and opportunities for more fully capitalizing on the power of information technologies to improve assessment, to illustrate those issues with examples from their own research, and to identify priorities for research and development in this area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forming connections between human performance and design Engineering Psychology and Human Performance, 4e examines human-machine interaction. The book is organized directly from the psychological perspective of human information processing. The chapters generally correspond to the flow of information as it is processed by a human being--from the senses, through the brain, to action--rather than from the perspective of system components or engineering design concepts. This book is ideal for a psychology student, engineering student, or actual practitioner in engineering psychology, human performance, and human factors Learning Goals Upon completing this book, readers should be able to: * Identify how human ability contributes to the design of technology. * Understand the connections within human information processing and human performance. * Challenge the way they think about technology's influence on human performance. * show how theoretical advances have been, or might be, applied to improving human-machine interaction

This book was released on 1997 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report recommends practices for planning and conducting tactical training using Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) technology with multi-Service groups. Groups are geographically separated. The recommendations presented are based on the experience gained from the Multi-Service Distributed Training Testbed (MDT2) -- a testbed designed to develop training opportunities and tools to increase the utility of multi-Service training. MDT2 is a realistic, although synthetic, environment for training with the flexibility to support planning, preparation, execution, and feedback for the multi-Service Close Air Support (CAS) mission. This report combines the knowledge from MDT2-CAS with the authors' knowledge of training into recommendations about how to train best with DIS technology.
