Abstract
The goal of this thesis is to develop an interactive computer system for
Man-In-The-Loop Naval Gunfire Support (NGFS) training. In attaining this
goal, it provides the end user with the full range of exercises a ship sees at the
NGFS ranges. The emphasis is on coordinated teamwork to facilitate a
seamless transition from the training (non-firing) environment to liveround
firings. The benefits are three-fold. First, a more cohesive primary
team will be developed. Second, the declining DoD budget demands that
fewer training rounds are expended and that the training and maintenance
budget be reduced. Finally, a more efficient use of range time will result from
better shipboard teamwork. The NGFS training model encompasses the five testable scenarios from
COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3570.2D (Gunsmoke) and incorporates the
appropriate mix of point, area, and counter-battery fire. A built-in umpiring
capability impartially monitors time-line events and awards the appropriate
points and penalties. A training report is generated to document the exercise
and compare results to historical performance. A statistical analysis of
improvements by milestones in mission vs. the norm is done to emphasize
areas in critical need for improvement.
