The Use of Simulation in Military Training: Value, Investment, and Potential.
Abstract
A study was conducted to assess capabilities and limitations of simulation for military training; DoD investments, plans, and programs for simulation; and cost-saving potential. Findings were (1) simulation technology is advancing, but faces a number of technical challenges; (2) the Services accept and use live, stand-alone single- system, and constructive simulations, and are making increasing use of virtual simulation; (3) cost data on simulation are not reported regularly or consistently but approximate relative levels of investment can be estimated; and (4) the Services have a multitude of simulation programs, with much of their planned technology development work is in the areas of virtual simulation and range instrumentation.
