Training Systems Concept for the Armored Family of Vehicles with Consideration of the Roles of Embedded Training and Stand-Alone Training Devices

Abstract : The Armored Family of Vehicles (AFV) is a new major acquisition program to build the next generation of armored vehicles. The goals of the program are to build the vehicles with the greatest commonality of parts feasible, for cost reasons, and to take advantage of technology advances as needed to meet the mid-1990s threat. This report presents the methods used, the analyses performed, and the resulting conclusions that formulate a hands-on training concept for the AFV in the institution and in the unit. The training media considered were alternative forms of embedded training and stand-alone training devices. Keywords: Embedded training,
