Process Instrumentation Systems for Training and Operational Test Needs With Case Study of Use at JEFX 09

Abstract

Process instrumentation provides trainers and testers with deeper insight into the activities, both human and technology, that affect system and warfighter performance and mission effectiveness. To this end, the authors have designed and developed several process instrumentation systems, working with both U.S. Air Force warfighter trainers and testers. Both trainers and testers need to, in operationally relevant environments, reconstruct events to meet teaching needs or testing requirements. These similar reconstruction activities drive the need for a method to capture human, as well as technology, activities. This article describes process instrumentation systems and their benefits for trainers and testers and then describes, with examples and a case study, two process instrumentation systems.
