“…Thus, Ricard, Parrish, Ashworth, and Wells (1981) found that platform motion cueing was effective for helicopter hover simulation training, whereas Waag (1978a, 1978b) found that it was ineffective forbasic contact maneuvers and aerobatics. The general utility of motion was also questioned by Cyrus (1978), who concluded in his literature review that, for most tasks, the elimination of platform motion cues does not reduce training effectiveness.…”

Modern aircrew training devices (ATDs) are equipped with sophisticated hardware and software capabilities, known as advanced instructional features (AIFs), that permit a simulator instructor to prepare briefings, manage training, vary task difficulty/fidelity, monitor performande, and provide feedback for flight simulation training missions. The utility and use of the AIF capabilities of Air Force ATDs were explored by means of a survey of 534 simulator instructors from Air Training Command, Military Airlift Command, Strategic Air Command, and Tactical Air Command training sites. The primary purpose of the survey was to provide a database that could be used in defining the requirements for ATD procurement and in developing future ATD training programs. The results indicated that, in general, the features that were rated highest were those used for training management, variation of task difficulty/fidelity, and monitoring student performance. The level of AIF use was affected somewhat by hardware and/or software unreliability, implementation time, functional limitations, and design deficiencies. However, the presumed training value of an AIF was the most important determinant of its use. Recommendations were made concerning the AIF capabilities of future ATDS and research aimed at determining the principles of effective AIF use. The survey instruments are appended.

“…The bulk of data show that physical (also known as 'objective') fidelity is not a requirement for successful simulation-based training (Advisory Group, 1980;Benton et al, 1992;Boldovici, 1987; Carretta and Dunlop, 1988;Copenhaver et al, 1996;Cyrus, 1978;Dixon and Curry, 1990;Dohma, 1995;Durall et al, 1978;Edwards, 1986;Hays and Singer, 1989; Hays et al, 1992a,b;Knerr et al, 1986; Lees and Bussolari, 1989;Lintern, 1980;Lintern et al, 1987;Lintern et al, 1989; Linterri et al, 1997;Loesch and Waddell, 1979;Martin, 1981; Martin and Waag, 1978a,b; Martin and Cataneo, 1982;McDaniel et al, 1983;Micheli, 1972;Montemerlo, 1977;Moroney and Moroney, 1998;Nataupsky et al, 1979;Orlansky et al, 1997;Pfeiffer, 1983;Rankin et al, 1984;Ryan et al, 1978;Voss et al, 1970;Waag, 1980;Westra et al, 1981;Westra et al, 1982;Westra et al, 1988;Westra, 1982).…”

DISTRIBUTION / AVAILABILITY STATEMENTApproved for PublicRelease; Distribution Unlimited 12b. DISTRIBUTION CODE ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 Words)An analysis of military use of non medical simulators has been carried out for the purpose of strategically directing the use of simulation in medicine. The United States Department of Defense has placed an increasing reliance on the use of simulators to train and sustain all manner of skills. This experience is documented by numerous studies attesting to the efficacy of trainers and the cost benefits of simulators. In addition, the range of skills to be trained is effectively broadened by the scope of situations that can be addressed by simulators and the accuracy with which performance can be measured.Technological advances make feasible the introduction of simulation into medicine with the potential for improved training at reduced cost and reduction of medical error. Important lessons need to be learned from the military simulation experience so that the most costeffective application of emerging technologies can be strategically sought for medical simulation. One area of particular benefit to the military medical domain will be substantial improvements in combat trauma readiness. A strategic plan for development of medical simulation in the military are advanced in the report.
