Early Training Estimation System (ETES). Appendix G. User's Guide. System Description Technology

Abstract

This report describes the research and development activities conducted under the Early Training Estimation System (ETES) development project. The Early Training Estimation System (ETES) is an integrated set of procedures and automated tools for estimating training requirements during the earliest phases of the weapon system acquisition process. The ETES has three major components; a System Description Technology (SDT), Early Training Estimation Aids and Procedures (TEAP), and Evaluative Technology. The SDT is a microcomputer-based data base management system for: (1) describing actual and projected system elements including system functional requirements, system hardware and software concepts, tasks, skills, and training program elements and their associated resource and cost requirements, (2) storing the above information, (3) changing and updating this information, and (4) transmitting the information among all of the participants in the acquisition process. The SDT data base management system is designed to allow training developers to keep track of the many system changes which occur during the early phases of the acquisition process. In addition, it provides a centralized data base, thus eliminating the redundant data collection efforts which typically take place among the numerous training development organizations within the Army.
