Integrated battlefield-effects research for the National Training Center. Appendix F. Technical and operational impacts of field simulators on the National Training Center. Technical report, 13 June 1983-30 December 1984

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5610059

This report analyzes the operability of the concept of using field simulators as part of the enhancement of the National Training Center (NTC) integrated battlefield (IB) training. Field simulators to be analyzed are a radiacmeter simulator, a dosimeter simulator, a chemical detector/alarm simulator, a masking timer/casualty indicator, an EMP simulator for use with vehicular radios, and a remotely operated chemical simulant sprayer for vehicles. The report provides estimates quantities of field simulators, costs, and other resources required. Next, it identifies interfaces of field simulators with other NTC components, and provides an assessment of the compatibility of the interfaces. The report then identifies and analyzes technical and operational issues related to field-simulator operation. Conclusion and recommendations include a phasing concept to reduce near time costs, provide a learning process, and reduce risk. Further RF analysis and testing is recommended.
