Virtual Reality as a Mission Familiarization System for Deployed Mobility Aircrew

Abstract

Based on observations in theater, a virtual reality (VR) system allowing a mobility aircrew the chance to practice an operation before the mission would improve crew efficiency and improve survivability. This paper examines the current literature and projects to assess if this is a project worth further study. While the current literature does not directly answer the question, studies in related areas as well as in constructivist learning theory indicate that a VR rehearsal system would improve learning and team collaboration, with potential gains in effectiveness. Because of this, the paper recommends a pilot program to confirm the projected benefits.
