Evaluation of Collective Training in a Distributed Simulation Exercise
Abstract
The military interest in Synthetic Environments (SEs) is beginning to change from thinking about the relevance of capability demonstrators to SEs being used to support distributed simulation exercises. Several European nations are actively promoting the use of SEs for Collective Training purposes to increase the military co-operation in Europe. In order to overcome the obstacles for use of distributed simulation exercises across Europe, it is important that a common European process, tools and standards are defined. This paper is focussing on the evaluation issues in distributed simulation exercises. It will outline the process of defining the evaluation needs, the identification of the functional and technical evaluation requirements and the definition of the Common Evaluation Framework (CEF). The CEF comprises processes, models, methods and presentation means for results presentation and distribution. Three supporting prototype tools for the CEF have been developed under the Euclid RTP11.13 programme: the Evaluation Definition Tool (EDT), the Evaluation Definition Selection Tool (EDST) and the Execution Evaluation Tool (EET). The EDT is used by the military user to define evaluation objectives and criteria. The EDST gives possibilities for searching and selecting evaluation objectives from a pool of ready-made objectives. The EET supports the user in post-processing the outputs acquired during the exercise and in the analysis and evaluation of the results and trainees.
