A Personnel Test of Firefinder Radar Training, Trainer, and System

Abstract

Analysis of earlier automated training development needs appeared constrained. Certain training design limitations were imposed by a rapid system development schedule for the Field Artillery's AN/TPQ-37 Firefinder Radar and its A17E11 training device. A training device was proposed to reduce costs that would accrue if soldiers were trained only on an operational system, where numbers trained would be limited and length of time to train hard to control. Such a training device can concentrate attention and effort to accomplish a better integrated instructional process with attainment of individual and crew task objectives.
