Innovative Training Concepts for Use in Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) Environments

Abstract

This report describes innovative approaches for conducting training using emerging simulation technology. It is intended as a forward looking reference for training developers and trainers interested in conducting specific types of training exercises within a Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) environment. The report presents five innovative training concepts that can be structured within a DIS environment for delivery of five types of training exercises including: (a) a Battle Staff Planning Exercise. (b) a Leader's Reconnaissance Exercise. (c) a Mission Rehearsal Exercise (Electronic Sandtable) , (d) a Mission Execution Exercise (Electronic Sandbox) and (e) an Information Management Exercise. The report concludes with a description of the implementation and tryout of one of these five concepts, an Information Management Exercise (IMEX).
