F-16 Training System Media Report

Abstract

This document lists the 32 academic media types and 20 simulation media types selected for possible inclusion in the F-16 training program, and provides a detailed description of each in terms of its instructional features, training capability, life cycle costs, hardware and software characteristics, manpower requirements and facilities requirements. This information is presented in the form of matrix tables, which list media characteristics and indicate the extent to which each medium possesses those characteristics. This historical document was produced not only to document the F-16 media pool, but as a preliminary input to the instructional media selection process. The 52 media could not be selected and assigned in either the cost benefit analysis or media analysis without first characterizing them in terms of the variables listed earlier. Once this process was complete, the media were utilized in the instructional media selection process (see Development Report No. 20, F-16 Media Selection and Utilization Plan Report, and Development Report No. 31, F-16 Training Media Mix) and would have been utilized in a detailed cost benefit analysis, had that requirement not been cancelled by the contracting officer.
