Embedded Simulation, Training at its Best.
Computer-based training systems ranging from basic aids to high fidelity simulators can enable soldiers, sailors or airmen to receive instruction in the classroom where they may benefit from often highly realistic simulation. There is no doubt that the very best of these training aids can totally engage many participants to the paint where they will sweat, experience an increased pulse-rate and bursts of adrenaline when the going gets really tough.
Classroom devices are only substitutes for the real thing, which, nevertheless, if too expensive to be used just for training, may oblige the use of such alternatives. Undaunted by this dilemma, many compromises have been reached whereby users may train on their actual everyday equipment, so that should a real shooting war begin, they will be thoroughly versed in its use. The temporary modification of a weapon to a training role or embedded software in a larger and more complex system is widely recognised to be one of the most effective means of delivering instruction. Indeed, it is often possible f...See the full content of this document
