E. PARTICIPANT PACKET
Naval Postgraduate School Consent to Participate in Research
Introduction. You are invited to participate in a research study entitled Virtual
Environment Training on Mobile Devices, Supporting Arms Trainer-Mobile. United States
Marine Corps 2012 Science and Technology Plan identifies a critical Training and
Education gap in T&E STO-6: Warrior Simulation: “Marines need to train as they would
fight as small units, particularly for dismounted operations. However, live training
resources, facilities, ranges and training areas are limited. Simulation capabilities are
needed to provide real-time effects and realistically engage the senses during
challenging, rapidly reconfigurable scenarios to increase small units’ opportunities to
train when they do not have access to live resources. Develop capabilities to realistically
simulate munitions (friendly and enemy) effects within live, virtual, and constructive
training environments. Develop the ability to stimulate operational equipment used in live
training environments from virtual or constructive environments, to improve the capability
of simulations to augment and enhance live training opportunities and to reinforce
realistic training using actual equipment as often as possible in conjunction with
simulators and simulations”. The purpose of the research is to investigate mobile
devices as a platform for training simulations as it aligns with the above outlined science
and technology objective.
Procedures.
− Consent will be solicited.
− Experimental procedures will include standard Call For Fire (CFF) tasks, such as
determine self-location, determine bearing and distance to a target, and generate a
standard CFF brief.
− The expected duration in total is approximately 45 minutes:
Consent (five minutes)
CFF knowledge test (five minutes)
Protocol A (15 minutes)
Survey (five minutes)
Protocol B (10 minutes)
