Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to analyze alternatives to full scale prototyping. The proposed Land Based Test Site LBTS for the Patrol Frigate PF propulsion system was used as a model. The model was compared to a simulator which consisted of a student console, a computer, and an instructors console. Each alternative was evaluated in relation to the stated objectives for the LBTS. After identifying differences in meeting the objectives of the LBTS the evaluation was reviewed for purposes of identifying criteria which could prove useful to future programs. Author
