Developing a Field Artillery Training System Based on Devices and Simulations: Definition of the Gunnery Team Trainer (Report and Appendices)

摘要

This development of a concept and functional description of the Gunnery Team Trainer ((GTT) is based on the results of analysis conducted under three separate tasks that comprise the initial part of this program. All of the earlier analyses were updated, and the revised products are incorporated into this report. The process of developing the GTT definition is described. A system definition of the GTT is presented, along with information about using it at the Field Artillery battery level. In addition, a representative set of fire mission procedures is included as a basis for conducting unit training exercises. The description of the GTT illustrates how it makes use of operational equipment and simulation to provide for effective training while controlling the expenditure of training resources. The summary of the entire program (four tasks) which is included in this report and its Appendices will help to establish other applications of the techniques.
