Beslisbevoegdheden van de Uitgestegen Soldaat. Deel B: Verbetering van Situational Awareness Met Behulp van de Soldier Digital Assistant in een Gesimuleerde Omgeving (Authority and Responsbility of the Dismounted Soldier. Part B. Improving the Situational Awareness using the Soldier Digital Assistant in a Simulated Environment)

Abstract

Using a simulated environment the hypothesis was tested that dismounted units would be able to operate more effectively when they have rich and up-to-date information available. A virtual gaming environment and a simulated Soldier Digital Assistant (SDA) were developed to this end. The results show that soldiers using the simulated SDA could navigate faster through unknown terrain, experience more efficiency and have a higher situational awareness then soldiers without the SDA. The lessons learned on using virtual game environments for research are discussed.
