Book Description
For this project, researchers developed a model for the optimization of simulation-based training systems (OSBATS) using a systematic, top-down design procedure. The model consists of five tools that address the following problems: (a) determining which tasks should be trained by part-mission simulators and which should be trained on actual equipment; (b) specifying which instructional features are needed to train a set of tasks efficiently within a budgetary constraint; (c) specifying the optimal levels at which fidelity should be provided along several fidelity dimensions to meet training requirements and satisfy a training-device cost limit; (d) determining the group of training devices that can train all required tasks at the minimum cost; and (e) determining the optimal allocation of training time to training devices, given constraints on device use. The tools share a common database of task requirement, training device, and cost data. A prototype decision support system (DDS) implementing the OSBATS model was developed and formative evaluation of the model and software conducted. The model was applied to a problem in Army aviation, and specifications for its application to armor maintenance were developed. The OSBATS model is a set of tools that can help the engineer perform the tradeoff analyses needed to support the decision of the best technical approach to a training-device design. This report gives an overview of the model using the IDEFO (Integrated Computer-Aided Manufacturing Definition) system modeling language.

Technical Report
Handbook of Simulator-Based Training
Author: Eric Farmer
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 135193175X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
Advances in simulation technology have enabled an interesting amount of training and instruction to be conducted on training simulators instead of on real systems. However, experiences with the procurement and use of training simulators has not always been as successful, often owing to a lack of knowledge of didactics and of training programme development, and also to inadequate simulator specifications. The Handbook of Simulator-based Training represents the first comprehensive overview of the European state of the art in simulator-based training. It also comprises a well-founded and systematic approach to simulator-based training and the specification of simulator requirements. The multi-disciplinary research project described in this book combines the expertise of specialists in human factors, information systems, system design and engineering from 23 research and industrial organizations from five countries - France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, the UK. The authors have synthesized and documented the project results to ensure that this handbook provides not only many valuable guidelines, but more importantly a common frame of reference. It will be a key resource for the many specialists who are concerned with simulator-based training: researchers, engineers, and users; military training institutes and training system development departments; military staff responsible for the procurement of training devices and simulators; the simulator industry; the training research community; and the human factors and ergonomics community.

Structured Simulation-Based Training Programs

ISBN: 9781423539261
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
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.

The Oxford Handbook of Military Psychology
Author: Janice H. Laurence
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199938040
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
The critical link between psychology and the military is imprtant to recruiting, training, socializing, assigning, employing, deploying, motivating, rewarding, maintaining, managing, integrating, retaining, transitioning, supporting, counseling, and healing military members. These areas are hardly distinct, and the chapters in The Oxford Handbook of Military Psychology have contents that cross these boundaries. Collectively, the topics covered in this volume describe the myriad ways in which modern psychology influences warfare and vice versa. The extensive topics included come from within the areas of clinical, industrial/organizational, experimental, engineering, and social psychology. The contributors are top international experts in military psychology -- some uniformed soldiers, others academics and clinicians, and others civilian employees of the military or other government agencies. They address important areas in which the science and practice of psychology supports military personnel in their varied and complex missions. Among the topics addressed here are suitability for service, leadership, decision making, training, terrorism, socio-cultural competencies, diversity and cohesion, morale, quality-of-life, ethical challenges, and mental health and fitness. The focus is the ways in which psychology promotes the decisive human dimension of military effectiveness. Collectively, the 25 topical chapters of this handbook provide an overview of modern military psychology and its tremendous influence on the military and society as a whole.
