Summary:

The Armstrong Laboratory Aircrew Training Research Division(AL/HRA) has participated in a number of Advanced Distributed Simulation (ADS) exercises. These exercises included Warbreaker, the Synthetic Theater of War-Europe(STOW-E), Multi-Service Distributed Training Testbed(MDT2), and Warfighter 95. Each of these exercises successfully linked large numbers of simulators and enhanced the technical capabilities of ADS. These exercises also suggested that ADS offers unique training opportunities for warriors, battle staffs, and commanders. Unfortunately, these training opportunities were not demonstrated to the same degree as the technology. We believe part of the reason for the failure to fully demonstrate the training potential of ADS stems from problems in adequately defining requirements, appropriately scoping exercises, thoroughly testing simulations, and maintaining real-time exercise control. This paper describes the typical problems we encountered as a node providing virtual simulations of tactical aircraft in support of larger ADS exercises while at the same time trying to provide combat mission training for the pilots flying those simulators. In addition, this paper provides recommendations that we believe will enhance the training value of ADS exercises for participants in simulated weapons systems.
