ROLE OF THE JOINT LOGISTICS COMMANDERS JOINT TECHNICAL COORDINATING GROUP ON SIMULATORS AND TRAINING DEVICES (JTCG-STD) Lieutenant Colonel
George R. Winters, II, USAF Headquarters Air
Force Systems Command Doctor Ronald Hofer Project Manager for
Training Devices, U.S. Army John Schreiber Naval Air Systems
Command Willard D. Haugen Ogden Air Logistics
Center, Air Force Logistics Command The Joint Logistics
Commanders (JLC) are composed of the commanders of the US Army Material
Readiness and Development Command, Air Force Logistics Command, and Air Force
Systems Command as well as the Chief of Naval Material. The JLC meet regularly with the Deputy
Secretary of Defense. Their purpose
is to resolve common concerns and, where possible, to achieve efficiencies by
combining efforts. The day-to-day
activities of the JLC are carried out by joint panels and groups. One such group is the Joint
Technical Coordinating Group on Simulators and Training Devices
(JTCG-STD). Its purpose, as stated in
its charter from the JLC, is to identify opportunities to coordinate or
consolidate programs in research and development, acquisition, and operation
and support of training devices and to implement plans to reduce the cost
and/or increase the effectiveness of military simulators and training
devices. That is a large order. To accomplish it requires breaking it into
manageable tasks. Each year the
JTCG-STD will review proposals for efforts that have high payoffs to two or
more services. The best of these will
be chosen to be presented to the JLC as candidates for JLC sponsorship. JLC sponsored tasks will be managed by a
single command with assistance from the others. The first three tasks chosen
for JLC sponsorship are to develop (1) a standard Defense Mapping Agency
database transformation program, (2) a library of standard electronic warfare
threat databases, and (3) standard training device software acquisition
management procedures. The efforts
will commence in FY 84 and FY 85.
Future initiatives for JLC sponsorship are solicited, and the method
for submitting them to the JTCG-STD is outlined. This paper is available on the I/ITSEC Compendium
CD-ROM. Order it from I/ITSEC’s Website. GETTING USER REQUIREMENTS
INTO THE DEVELOPMENT-TO-DELIVERY
LOOP Frederic W. Snyder Boeing Military
Airplane Company Many
who coordinate with military users of training systems are aware that some
trainers fail to satisfy important user requirements. Conscientious people working in the
requirement-to-delivery loop many never intentionally neglect or distort
end-user needs. However, such
oversight or misunderstanding does occur within the operations of complex
military, government, and industry organizations. The character of formal and informal information flows within
and between these organizations as they relate to identification,
establishment and communication of requirements hold the key to improved
procedures. What is recommended is
consideration for increased emphasis on the collection and use of unfiltered
need statements of lower echelon users during the system
development-to-delivery process. This
envisioned emphasis would also include information feed-back loops to the
end-user culminating in a user orientation manual covering the intended
purpose of the trainer, a brief history of the system development, and
training, logistics support, and maintenance philosophies. This paper is available on the I/ITSEC Compendium
CD-ROM. Order it from I/ITSEC’s Website. ENHANCING
THE COMPUTER GENERATED ILLUSION Neal L. Mayer and
Michael A. Cosman Evans & Sutherland
Computer Corporation The
usefulness of the image produced by a CIG system is not well characterized by
just the number of edges or surfaces displayed, but is a strong function of
the effectiveness with which the scene details provide visual cues. This paper presents some examples of what
can be achieved using hardware capabilities and modeling techniques to
enhance the ability of the CIG to present useful scene detail. Previous CIG systems changed scene details when their image size was small enough so as not to be distracting to the observer. Recently introduced system capabilities allow scene details to evolve in a more continuous, smooth, and independent manner. By using these capabilities, details need not be included in the scene until they are of visual importance. |
