An Analysis of Skill Transfer for Tank Gunnery Performance Using TOPGUN, VIGS, and ICOFT Trainers

Abstract

This study was performed to determine (1) whether performance improves during part-task tank gunnery training on TOPGUN and VIGS devices; (2) whether TOPGUN performance transfers to VIGS performance, and vice versa; (3) whether training performance on VIGS and TOPGUN transfers to gunnery performance an a high-fidelity trainer--the Institutional Conduct-of-Fire Trainer (ICOFT); (4) which sequence of training (TOPGUN-VIGS or VIGS-TOPGUN) shows better transfer to ICOFT; and (5) whether selected aptitude, ability, motivational, and demographic measures predict TOPGUN, VIGS, and ICOFT performance.
