Changing the Paradigm of Military Training with Modeling and Simulations: Developing a Fully Integrated Live and Synthetic Training Environment

Abstract

Current limitations in training resources, including availability of suitable areas and facilities, and budget and materiel constraints, make it difficult to create training scenarios that mimic the physical and cognitive complexities of dynamically evolving and challenging operational environments. The use of Modeling and Simulations to augment training offers a solution to this problem; however, current efforts within the Department of Defense (DoD) are not unified, and have limited interoperability between service and functional programs. A fully Integrated Live and Synthetic Training Environment provides the DoD with an effective way to achieve training objectives at every echelon, that is permanent, cost-effective, tailorable, scalable, and modular.
