“…Paradoxically, there is a growing body of scientific literature on the training effectiveness of low fidelity simulators, but very little of value on high fidelity simulators. It should be added that experienced aviators seem to be more demanding when it comes to evaluating simulator fidelity and effectiveness (Stewart, 1994(Stewart, , 1995. Stewart found that pilots from an operational unit rated the handling and performance of a high fidelity AH-64 simulator as more similar to the aircraft than did the experienced IPs who participated in the 1995 experiment.…”

“…ARI's Simulator Training Research Advanced Testbed for Aviation (STRATA) AH-64A simulator employed force cuing in the form of a g-seat. A backward transfer experiment (Stewart, 1994) validated STRATA as having similar handling characteristics to the AH-64A. For this reason, a blanket policy of "no-motion-whatsoever" may not be prudent and may also affect the morale of the pilot population adversely.…”

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES ABSTRACTThe current report is a follow-up to ARL-SR-0156 which describes the operational demonstration of a part-task, less-than-fullfidelity simulator in an operational Patriot unit. The specific objectives of this follow up assessment were to (1) determine whether the Reconfigurable Tactical Operations Simulator (RTOS) operating first with a Post-Deployment Build (PDB) 5.5.2 emulation and then a PDB-6-like model could be used to train PDB-6 fire control crews (both Information and Coordination Central [ICC] and Engagement Control Station [ECS] on selected tasks); and (2) begin formulating a list of changes that would be required for the RTOS to adequately support PDB-6 fire control crew training. Results from the follow-up assessment indicated that the current RTOS model has limited PDB-6 functionality and should not be used to support PDB-6-specific training in Patriot units. This conclusion does not mean that the current RTOS does not have training value for PDB-6 equipped units. Follow Up participants expressed a view that the current RTOS does have training value in PDB-6 equipped units to train fire control personnel from entry up through gunnery table IV. A list of modifications to the RTOS to make it usable for PDB-6 specific training in Patriot units also resulted from the Follow Up exercise.
