A Guide for Early Embedded Training Decisions. Second Edition.
Abstract
Embedded Training (ET) is training built into or added to a weapons system. Although Army policy requires training developers to consider ET before other training options, effective implementation of this policy has been hampered by the lack of specific procedures to determine whether training should be embedded or not. This report provides a set of guidelines--in the form of detailed decision flowcharts-- to assist training developers and engineers in making early ET decisions. Although information about task characteristics has traditionally determined selection of media for training, it is now considered less important in deciding when to use ET than the following factors: policy; system availability for training; technical feasibility of ET implementation; effects of ET on system reliability, availability, and maintainability; impact of ET on system manpower and personnel requirements; need for training-specific interface hardware; safety; and cost-effectiveness.
