Abstract:
Engagement simulation techniques now being used to train Army combat units require better instrumentation and methods to gather accurate data for unit evaluation. This report describes six systems for locating vehicle positions, in terms of requirements for engagement simulation data analysis and in terms of usefulness at a specific site at Fort Carson, Colorado. Optical ranging, optical triangulation, radio-based ranging, laser ranging, unattended ground sensors, and benchmark-aided judgments were evaluated. Radio ranging - pulsed radar and Loran - provided the most precise location data and are also operationally available. A separate field study of optical ranging and triangulation methods details their utility and limitations for gathering position data.
