As military tactical systems have become more complex, the costs of the operational hardware and the consequences of having inadequately trained personnel manning the equipment have both risen dramatically. The increased complexity of the operational equipment is reflected in the training devices and simulators built to train the operators. The additional burdens placed on the training device instructors and operators by this increased complexity can be mitigated through the use of modern display system hardware and software systems which can provide improved man-machine interface techniques and trainee performance monitoring and evaluation facilities at costs comparable to those of older, less effective systems.
