Combat Vehicle Command and Control Systems. 1. Simulation-Based Company- Level Evaluation

Abstract

This research evaluated the training implications, including operational effectiveness and soldier-machine interface (SMI), of a Combat Vehicle Command and Control (CVCC) experimental configuration that included the Commander's Independent Thermal Viewer and a Command and Control display. Using Ml tank simulators in the Close Combat Test Bed at Fort Knox, KY, the evaluation focused on tank company operations. Each of nine groups of soldiers completed a 1-week training and testing schedule that culminated in two simulated combat scenarios. One of a series, this report documents significant Improvements in crew/unit performance attributable to the CVCC configuration. Companion reports address training-related findings, SMI recommendations, and performance from a tactical perspective. The collective findings provide input to the design and development of training programs for future automated command, control, and communications systems in ground combat vehicles.
