As integrated training events evolve to include Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) entities, multiple safety
considerations, inside and outside of the cockpit, need to be considered. The current Navy Aviation Simulation
Master Plan (NASMP) states, “Safety must be an integral part of planning and execution. Live blue and red
platform displays, training mode functionality and training rules must help mitigate safety risks associated with an
LVC environment� (NASMP Policy IV). The Office of Naval Research’s (ONR) Science and Technology (S&T)
effort, Virtual and Constructive Representations on Live Avionics Displays (VCR LAD), has identified multiple
areas through interviews and thematic analysis where LVC has the potential to impact integrated training. In this
paper, we focus on implications for training exercise management, including Range Training Officer (RTO) and
Range Safety Officer (RSO) activities. There are various areas of concern within training exercise management,
including delegation of workload amongst personnel (e.g., RTOs, RSOs) and whether existing interface designs and
work support tools can adequately support the conduct and oversight of LVC training. Additionally, new positions
may need to be introduced and integrated into the exercise management team. Further, new exercise management
practices may need to be adopted. This paper presents initial findings and associated recommendations for exercise
management technologies, roles, responsibilities, and practices, as well as, future research needed to determine and
evaluate specific solutions to those recommendations.
