... The ultimate objective is the optimized use of LVC to improve the NAE's Integrated Warfighting Capability across mission areas, platforms, sensors, weapons and kill chains. The presentation will address the LVC Training Requirements Path and the process for defining not only what needs to be trained but also utilizing the science of learning to understand the most effective methods to accomplish the training and sustain the requisite skills.
From page 19...
... Research is needed to determine modifications to live training to realize the maximum benefit from I-LVC, along with targeted developments of credible constructive opposing force and sensor models for certain training tasks. AFRL/RHAS believe that distributed LVC training can bring down those training costs and improve training effectiveness just as LVC distributed mission operations training has brought down training costs and improved training effectiveness in the aviation community.

... Air Force Training Environment. The CAE presenter will briefly review CAE's current products and services in use by the Air Force and other end users and respond to the questions about what we are doing now and what the shortfalls of current simulation industry offerings and technology are.

... regulates simulators for pilot training and uses simulators to train air traffic controllers, site new control towers, design airspace procedures, and develop unmanned aircraft systems requirements. This presentation focuses on simulators for airline pilot training only.
From page 22...
... Technical challenges include the ability to develop and participate in LVC-distributed simulations more quickly and with less cost expenditure on developing customized solutions. Potential solutions include determining and establishing interface definition standards for interacting simulation environments covering simulation models, communication protocols, information technology security, etc.

... For example, one can "fly through" a human heart using the VIR in the Modeling and Simulation Center, then practice conducting a "Code Blue" as a team member in the Advanced Simulation Center, followed by conducting cardiac procedures in the simulated surgical suites in the Advanced Surgical Skills Center. Promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and human factors research, the UT-IISC supports the development of procedural and communication skills through the ongoing development of reliable, valid methods of competency assessment.
From page 24...
... It has been demonstrated that when certain anomalies occur in a flight simulator, such as visual or motion artifacts or the absence of certain cues necessary for proper execution of the task, that pilot performance metrics may remain constant but control behavior is altered. The discussion will include an introduction to some of the signal-processing techniques that can be used to quantitatively analyze pilot control behavior.
