Requirements Planning and Impact on Readiness of Training Simulators and Devices.
Abstract
Computer training simulations consist of hardware and software designed to show a concept or to simulate an operational environment for training purposes. Overall acquisition of training systems by the Military Departments now exceeds $1.5 billion per year. The Army Close Combat Tactical Trainer is estimated to cost more than $1 billion. The following two types of simulation exist: System-specific computer training simulations support training for a specific weapon system. For example, the Army AH-64 Mission Simulator trains for in-flight and weapons delivery, emergency procedures, and sensor system operations. Non-system specific computer training simulations can support training for a single, specific weapon or equipment system. The Army Close Combat Tactical Trainers will simulate the integrated performance of a variety of weapon systems. Audit Objectives. The audit objectives were to evaluate the acquisition process for training simulators, computer training simulations, training devices, and adequacy of the management control program as it applied to the primary audit objective.
