SLEP VELCAC, IFE II Build Usability Evaluation Report

Abstract

A usability evaluation of SLEP (Service Life Extension Plan) VELCAC (Virtual Environment Landing Craft Air Cushion) was undertaken at IFE II in San Antonio, TX in mid February of 2003. This evaluation focused on a SLEP VELCAC system that is currently under development, but had a functional Craftmaster/Operator station and a partially functional Engineer station; the Navigator's station was not interactive at the time of evaluation. The SLEP VELCAC system is designed to provide differences training for those certified LCAC (Landing Craft Air Cushion) crewmembers that are transitioning from the traditional LCAC to the SLEP LCAC. The system is also designed to allow mission rehearsal or practice flights to work on crew coordination, cockpit familiarization, rehearsal of select emergency procedures, and practice with craft features unique to the SLEP upgrade.
