Abstract

This paper discusses the development and use of an analytical assessment methodology that applies Systems Engineering principles, Ecological Affordance Theory, and Human Abilities, to measure the potential of integrated simulation training environments (ITEs) to support the development of competence in the execution of specific military missions. The results of this research include the development and use of the integrated training environment assessment methodology (ITEAM). ITEAM was used to re-evaluate the ecological validity of several ITEs ability to support the development of specific competencies during training.
