Functional Integrated Systems Trainer: Technical Design and Operation.

Abstract

A functional integrated systems trainer was designed and constructed for training four members of the Gunship AC-130E/H crew in their individual and crew coordination tasks. The design was based on the behavioral task analysis conducted by the Tactical Air Command (TAC) instructional systems development team and further refined by Air Force Human Resources Laboratory. The trainer is installed and currently being used by TAC. An extensive evaluation was conducted which focused on the actual training value of the device. The findings showed that it provided effective training, validated the design concepts/techniques, and the cost effectiveness of functional, low cost part task trainers. It also provided significant additional information pertaining to the design and utilization of such devices and their applications to other systems. This report provides a detailed description of the construction and operation of the device.
