This analysis provides a framework for the progression of virtual training
over the spectrum of desktop, laptop, and mobile tablet PC devices. In the
process we answer the following questions:
1. Is a VE trainer on a tablet possible?
2. Is the “Window to the world” paradigm seen as a valuable addition
to VE training?
3. Would military officers trained in CFF see a value in VE tablet CFF
training?
4. Would military officers untrained in CFF see a value in VE tablet
CFF training?
5. What is gained and lost when CFF is executed on a tablet versus a
desktop / laptop?
6. How does a VE tablet training program need to be different from a
desktop / laptop VE training program?

Chapter I, introduction, an overview of the work contained in this thesis
and the problem the authors are trying to solve.
Chapter II, background, provides a historical background on past and
current Joint Forward Observer trainers.
Chapter III, task analysis, provides an analysis of the tasks than an
individual performs as they execute a CFF and how those actions map to SAT-M.
Chapter IV, requirements, looks at the requirements for a tablet based VE
CFF trainer. It specifically details how those requirements are different than the
requirements for a desktop / laptop VE CFF trainer. It provides use cases for
