Training in decision-making skills contributes directly to the combat readiness of battle managers. More affordable, accessible, and effective technologies are required to supplement the Command Post Exercise technologies currently in use. This report covers the third phase of a project aimed toward the development of such new technologies. During the preceding phases, a Knowledge Engineering and Training System (KEATS) was developed and used to acquire task knowledge employed by experts ...
These Instructor Support Feature (ISF) guidelines developed for aircrew training draw on information from visits to operational Aircrew Training Device (ATD) sites. The purpose of the Instructor Support System (ISS) is to transform the flight simulator into a more effective training device. The ISS consists of the set of ISFs present in the simulator. Through the implementation of a carefully selected set of ISFs, the ISS increases the instructor's efficiency ...
This report documents the development of specification guidelines for aircrew training device (ATD) Instructor Support Features (ISFs). Thirteen advanced instructional systems and ATDs were analyzed for identification and definition of ISFs. Areas of analysis included: a comparison of ISF usage and effectiveness; an analysis of common tasks; and a system engineering analysis. Conclusions: (1) A comprehensive front-end analysis of both student training tasks and instructor requirements is required. (2) Instructor ...
