Structured Simulation-Based Training Program for a Digitized Force: Approach, Design, and Functional Requirements. Volume 1

摘要

The Training for the Digital Battlefield program, also known as the Close Combat Tactical Trainer-Digital (CCTT-D) project, was conducted by the U. S. Army Research Institute (ARI) Armored Forces Research Unit (AFRU) located at Fort Knox, Kentucky. This report describes one of the Army's latest efforts to address the changing training requirements driven by advances in warfighter technologies. The current research effort, the Training for the Digital Battlefield program, also known as the Close Combat Tactical Trainer-Digital (CCTT-D), was designed to ascertain the anticipated requirements associated with using the CCTT (or a similar training delivery system) to conduct training for digitally-equipped platoon through brigade units. The requirements analysis was twofold. First, it focused on technology capabilities; tactics, techniques, and procedures; scenario design and development; and the structure of training materials specific to the CCTT. Second, it provided a training approach and an analysis of technology requirements that encompass the entire Army. Volume I presents the methods and products of the research effort, featuring an overarching training approach and a training system analysis for delivering digital operations training to Force XXI.
