Simulating Civilians for Military Training: A Canadian Perspective.

摘要

The contemporary operations environment involves constant contact between military units and local populations. It is therefore necessary that the human terrain be properly represented in the synthetic environments used for military training and experimentation. This paper presents the results of two knowledge elicitation activities. The first was conducted with Canadian Army training experts to assess which features would be desirable in a tool to simulate civilian patterns of life . The second activity was conducted with military personnel who were deployed in different operations around the globe, in order to document their observations of civilian activity in different areas of the world.
