The RDT and E Program of the DoD on Training, FY 1977.

Abstract

This paper identifies the RDT and E program of the DoD on military training for FY 1977. An analysis of work units shows that the areas of training which receive major attention are the development and evaluation of flight simulators (all services, with the Air Force expending most funds), engagement simulation of battlefield activities (Army) and computer-assisted instruction (Navy, Air Force, and DARPA). Lesser efforts are expended on performance measurement in training and on cost-effectiveness studies of training. This analysis is part of an overall study to evaluate methods and data useful for determining the cost and effectiveness of alternative ways of training military personnel. Particular attention is directed in the study to the use of flight simulators, training devices, computer-assisted instruction and methods of training. R and D activities are identified in this paper to define the nature and scope of current research efforts directed to major areas of training.
