Abstract

When developing military capabilities, it is essential to determine the effect that equipment, tasks, and training will have on Soldier and unit readiness. Human factors processes require technology enablers that streamline the systems engineering design process. Toward this end, a collaboration between the U.S. Army Science and Technology Objectives for the Soldier Systems Engineering Architecture (SSEA) and Training Effectiveness for Simulations (TEfS) was established in 2015. An operational SSEA is envisioned to enable analysts to implement systems engineering procedures to achieve more effective results in predicting best system designs. Best practices from TEfS is critical to improving the predictive analyses. In this paper we describe best practices from a squad training use case and propose how the training method could be applied as a test protocol in SSEA SaaS modeling.
