A Review and Annotated Bibliography of Armor Gunnery Training Device Effectiveness Literature

Abstract

This research report supports current efforts by the U.S. Army Armor School (USAARMS) to develop its portion of the Combined Arms Training Strategy (CATS). The report contains a review and annotated bibliography of 39 documents that address tank gunnery training device effectiveness. It also presents a summary of (a) reported findings by types of device (standalone, tank-appended, subcaliber, laser) and areas of training effectiveness (skill acquisition, skill retention, performance prediction, transfer of training) and (b) research limitations (sample size, subjects not random or matched, groups treated differently, device system errors, insufficient amounts of practice, ceiling effects, floor effects, unreliable performance measures) that could possibly affect interpretation of reported findings. Future research requirements are discussed based on the authors' conclusions.
