Publisher's Synopsis
Providing embedded training (ET) is a key goal in the U.S. Army's ongoing effort to develop field Future Combat Systems (FCS). In support of that goal, the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral Sciences (ARI) conducted a training development research effort entitled Battle Command Visualization (BCV) 101. The purpose of BVC 101 was to investigate innovative training approaches for the Current and Future Force based on anticipated technical capabilities and limitation of both operational systems and training methods. To provide a working example of the subject training approach, BCV 101 focused on training the conceptual and supporting procedural skills needed to use networked sensors to see the battle field. This report presents an innovative training approach that markedly extends the Army's ability to deliver high-fidelity training anytime and anywhere.
