Advanced Bradley Full-crew Interactive Simulation Trainer (AB-FIST) Limited User/Functional Test

Abstract

This paper documents the technical advisory service provided by the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences to the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Systems Manager Stryker/Bradley (TSM-SB) in a comparison assessment of the Bradley Conduct of Fire Trainer (COFT) and the Advanced Bradley Full-crew Interactive Simulation Trainer (AB-FIST). The informal limited user/functional test collected data in two areas. The first portion of the test was designed to compare the stated capabilities of the AB-FIST as compared to those of the COFT. The second portion of the test was designed to elicit feedback from experienced users about the new device. Based on this limited test, the AB-FIST was seen to perform as well as or better than the COFT, and could be used to supplement or augment the COFT where that device is unavailable.
