Abstract:

The research and development reported here represents one phase of a broader effort to improve the effectiveness and realism of training a weapon fire team in a simulator environment. Currently simulator-based team trainers use technology which restricts both realism in tactical training situations and ability for thorough performance measurements. The overall goal of this development effort is to introduce new technology and techniques which can improve current team training system technology. These new developments include interactive aggressor targets and a high speed weapon tracking system. The Naval Training System Center has developed a test-bed Weapons Team Engagement Trainer, WTET which allows two trainees to engage aggressor targets which are presented on a large video projection screen.
