Advanced Officer Tactics Training Device Needs and Performance Measurement Technique. Volume I

摘要

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the advanced tactics training device needs for submarine officers and to develop a technique for the measurement of tactical performance. The data base developed to perform this effort consisted of an extensive collection of operational task data and observations/discussions concerning the existing tactics training program and facilities. Findings are reported regarding the fire control party structures, training objectives and standards, training structure, training curriculum, training facility deficiencies (e.g. individual training), and training device characteristics. Recommendations concerning the training program and facilities include interfleet curriculum coordination, device/curriculum parallel development, hardware continuity across training locations, computer-controlled generalized individual trainer, desk-top periscope visual skills trainer, and modifications to existing tactical team trainers. The development of a performance measurement technique was based on utilization of a mathematical weapon system effectiveness (WSE) model to measure trainee tactical performance. Development of a model specifically for training measurement was identified.
