Innovative Training Concepts for Use in Distributed Interactive Simulation 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 using Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS). 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 of one of these five concepts, an Information Management Exercise (IMEX).
