On-Demand Interactive Simulation-Centered Training for Small Unit Tactics

摘要

Training on small unit infantry tactics in both the context of present-day infantry operations and in Objective Force Warrior contexts may benefit from the use of interactive graphics with behavioral complexity during training. The VIVIDS and iRides tools provide technologies for developing and delivering such training materials for delivery on Linux and Windows systems, respectively. Several tactics training topics were investigated in this research project. A prototype trainer on forward observer placement was developed using iRides. This trainer and others developed with these tools, can be delivered on small, wearable computer systems with modest graphic capabilities.
