The decision to include embeddedtraining facilities in equipments is as much a design issue as a training issue. Itis easier to include an embedded or appended training functionality within aninitial equipment design than it is to add it later. Team training needs are moredifficult to specify than the individual skills and knowledge required for basicequipment operation or maintenance.The complexity of the applications available in future platforms may dictate thateach trainee develops skills and knowledge in a part-task manner. Changes inthe types of user role associated with the use of equipment may require afundamental re-evaluation of the way in which skills and knowledge aredeveloped. Skills decay is a major problem with highly automated systems thatrequire infrequent intervention. Embedded training facilities and user supportfacilities can be used to maintain the currency of skills required to cope with faultand damage states.7.1.4 Combat System / Warfare Team TrainingFigure 7-2: Training must be provided for users at sub-team andfull team levelsWarfare Team Training (WTT) is a key component of OC and the need to ‘Fightand Win’ dictates that core warfare training must remain predicated on multithreat,multi-platform, high-intensity operations but broadened to reflect the moreversatile roles required of Naval platforms. Training is vital to the developmentand maintenance of individual skills and Warfare team operational readiness.Nov 2006 Page 7-6 Issue 4
