Video Simulation for Training Land Design and Management. TRADOC Installations,Fiscal Years 1992-1993

摘要

As part of the implementation of the Integrated Training Area Management (ITAM)program, video simulation technology is being exploited and adapted for use by Army training land managers and designers. In this study, researchers from the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratories (USACERL), Champaign, IL and Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Argonne, IL developed, demonstrated, and evaluated the capabilities of video simulation technology for application to training land area management at Fort Benning, GA, Fort Huachuca, AZ, Fort Jackson, SC, and Fort Knox, KY. This research concluded that, by clearly showing alternatives before implementation, video simulations have the potential to: (1) increase effective communication between land managers and trainers, (2) reduce range construction costs, (3) aid installation master planners with range design, and (4) gain approval and consensus on project designs.
