MCS 2 Database Embedded Training (ET): Procedural Findings for Command and Control Systems

Abstract

Embedded Training (ET), as an integral part of weapon system design, offers what appears to be a unique and cost effective training capability. ET was developed for the MCS 2 system to help validate a set of embedded training development procedures being undertaken in a concurrent program, Systems Design Concepts to Support Embedded Training (ET). MCS 2 is a battlefield management system under development by the Army Development and Employment Agency (ADEA). This effort resulted in the generation of computer-aided instruction (CAI) courseware, but did not succeed in implementing interactive ET, in which the trainee uses the operating software under controlled conditions. The causative factors for this are documented as lessons to be integrated into the concurrent program. Keywords: Embedded training, Training system development, Maneuver control system 2 (MCS 2), Computer-based training, Training requirements.
