Research and Markets,
DUBLIN, Ireland: Research and Markets has announced the addition of Simulation and Training Handbook 2007/8 – The Concise Global Industry Guide to their offering.
The Simulation and Training Handbook will provide a convenient, portable source of reference for the simulators and associated training systems without which modern military forces simply could not build and maintain the skills their people need to get the best out of extremely complex weapon systems.
Simulation has been an integral part of military training for many years, but advances in computer technology, image generation and networking are delivering unprecedented levels of realism and training value. Increasingly, simulation is the only cost-effective means of turning out competent crews and guarding against skill fade.
At first, simulators were used to teach people to control demanding vehicles and operate equipment at the level of pushing the right buttons at the right time. With increased visual realism and the development of interactive, artificially intelligent threats it is now common to simulate the entire mission and develop individual crews’ tactical skills.
But, for most nations, full mission simulators on motion bases are too costly to buy in the numbers needed to train crews in the way they are expected to fight in teams. This is where fixed-base tactical mission simulators built around PC technology and connected in networks come into their own; they are cheap enough to be bought in large numbers. Connecting simulators in networks allows whole teams and even large forces to train together.
