Speaker(s):
Michael Lundy, Commanding General, U.S. Army Combined Arms Center and Fort Leavenworth, KS; Matthew Molloy, Commander, Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Command (AFOTEC); Steve Griffin, Senior Manager Defense Support Services, The Boeing Company; Paul Sohl, Commander, Operational Test & Evaluation Force ; Kristen Alexander, Technical Advisor, Land and Expeditionary Warfare Director, Operational Test and Evaluation
All DoD weapon systems must be tested, many using modeling and simulation suites. To accurately represent the operational capability of weapon systems, the effects of human operators (human-in-the-loop simulation) must be accounted for. Historically, the training community has developed its own modeling and simulation tools to support training objectives. This panel will discuss the need for such modeling and simulation suites for testing and training and looks to explore ways in which existing human-in-the-loop training systems might be leveraged for use in operational testing and provide a high-fidelity leave-behind for the training community.
During this event, the Commanders of the Services’ Operational Test Agencies will present their perspectives on the challenges and requirements for the use of human-in-the-loop simulations during operational testing. The Commanding General of the Army Combined Arms Center will provide a perspective on the need for simulation to support training. Industry test leadership will present challenges producing simulators that are adequate for both testing and training.
