Abstract :
When training equipment is designed for today´s high speed and complex weapon systems, simple techniques can be used to increase the trainer effectiveness and lower equipment costs. By completing a detailed analysis of the performance specifications, the engineer strives to design a unit that will provide optimum training. This paper describes three detail design problems which occurred during the design of operational and maintenance training equipment for a missile weapon system. The solutions to these design problems, including standardization of simulation units, the control of rapid sequencing and the introduction of planned malfunctions, improved trainer effectiveness.
