Biomechanical developments / Donaldson, Peter   Article
Donaldson, Peter Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract When infantry soldiers carry loads, manipulate equipment and weapons and traverse terrain, they exhibit flexibility, range and endurance in combinations as yet unmatched by any vehicle. However, the rate at which soldiers are invalided out of armies by musculo-skeletal injuries indicates that physical demands placed on their bodies are approaching and often exceeding what they can reasonably be expected to withstand.

Training system integration: trick of treat / Mahon, Tim   Article
Mahon, Tim Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract About this time of year, with the annual jamboree of I/ITSEC in Orlando rapidly approaching from the near horizon, it has become traditional for observers of the military training and simulation (S&T) scene to reflect (and occasionally wax lyrical) on the issue of what has changed, how much remains the same and where the community is headed. Often this results in artificial ‘themes,’ some of which fail to stand the test of any time at all. Others reflect constant rather than incremental change and yet others are statements of the obvious. In an effort to break the mould and perhaps try to bring fresh perspective to the question ‘Quo Vadis Training & Simulation,’ MT looks at one of the pervading characteristics of the industry and the demand that fuels it – the issue of systems integration.
