Abstract
Field trials of the LTS-3 system were initiated at Keesler Air Force Base. Instructional delays due to system failures were minimal, and the principal causes of failure were isolated and corrected. Initial results were excellent. Training time was reduced 34 percent. Scores on the Block Test are slightly better for the LTS than the control groups, and a student attitude survey indicates a strong preference for LTS over conventional training. Work has begun on preliminary designs for LTS-4, which will be a stand-alone system suitable for remote site operation. Major emphasis has been on (1)a new reader system design, (2) specifications for a self-processor, and (3) studies of the audio channel as it affects the storing of digital control information on lesson fiche.
