|
| The Armored Family of Vehicles (AFV) is a new major acquisition program to build the next generation of armored vehicles. The goals of the program are to build the vehicles with the greatest commonality of parts feasible, for cost reasons, and to take advantage of technology advances as needed to meet the mid-1990s threat. This report presents the methods used, the analyses performed, and the resulting conclusions that formulate a ... |

|
| This research product is one of a series of 10 documents produced by the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) and the project manager for Training Devices (PM-TRADE). The research will assist systems, training, and materiel developers in making the initial and iterative decisions to consider further the inclusion of embedded training in a given system development or improvement process. The product helps developers to ... |

|
| This report discusses the results of a problems analysis conducted as the initial step of multiyear research effort. Researchers analyzed Bradley doctrine, tactics, techniques, and training, with particular emphasis on reduced visibility operations. The problem analysis phase identified areas where the Bradley's combat effectiveness could be enhanced. Recommended solutions to some of the problems are presented. For other problems, directions for future research are detailed. This report provides background and ... |

|
| Authors:
H. C. Strasel; Frederick N. Dyer; Robert E. Aldrich; HI-TECH SYSTEMS INC COLUMBUS GA
|
 | This research note reviews eight Army systems and attempts to relate their system characteristics to the opportunities and requirements for development of embedded training (ET) in current and future Army systems. This is an early step in a major Army Research Institute program to develop formal and systematic procedures (to be included in the LCSMM acquisition process) to identify ET needs, to determine how and when ET should be included, ... |

|
| This report is an overview of nine volumes of guidelines and procedures on how to do embedded training (ET) in the Army. The contents of these volumes, their relationships to systems acquisition models, the users per volume, and the products to which they contribute are briefly described. The document also contains discussions of what constitutes ET; the benefits and capabilities it can provide; some advice on the circumstances to create ... |

| Authors:
H. C. Strasel; D. C. Lockhart; R. E. Hilligoss; J. A. Fusha; LITTON SYSTEMS INC SUNNYVALE CA MELLONICS SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT DIV
|
| This report examined areas of potential improvement to gunnery training evident during the initial stage of introduction of the Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle to U.S. Army units. The analysis consisted of a synopsis of available literature on gunnery requirements and tasks; an overview of then-current training practices, programs of instruction, and training resources; and consideration of available and projected training devices. This analysis provided a basis for selection of specific ... |

|
| Gunner selection was addressed in two stages: (1) Advanced Infantry Training graduates entering TOW training at Fort Benning were examined prior to and during training. A number of personal, demographic, and behavioral measures were taken and discriminant analyses were run to try to differentiate trainees who succeeded at training (Qualified on the M-70 simulator) from those who did not. (2) Subsequently, a training effectiveness analysis test was conducted at the ... |

|
| During the Spring of 1976 the BRM Test, conducted at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, evaluated four basic rifle marksmanship (BRM) training programs: the Army Subject Schedule (ASUBJSCD), Fort Benning, Fort Dix, and Fort Jackson programs. One product of the test was a substantial quantity of individual difference and rifle firing data. These data are currently being analyzed to assess the effects of selected individual differences on BRM acquisition and terminal ... |

| Authors:
D. L. Finley; H. C. Strasel; ARMY RESEARCH INST FOR THE BEHAVIORAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES ALEXANDRIA VA
|
| The BT33 is a Swedish-built Forward Observer (FO) trainer for institutional use. This training effectiveness analysis of the BT33 was initiated to validate the concept that FO training devices could yield training and cost savings benefits. It was a part of and contributed to the cost and training effectiveness analysis being conducted on a FO trainer under development in the United States for the unit training environment. The results of ... |
