Abstract
The Videodisk Gunnery simulator (VIGS) and the Unit Conduct of Fire Trainer (UCOFT) were used to crosstrain soldiers from an M60A3 armor unit as M1 tank gunners. Estimates of measurement reliability were obtained for each device and the effectiveness of the devices for training gunnery skills was evaluated. Measures of effectiveness included performance improvement on each device as a function of practice on that device and training transfer between the devices. The results showed that gunnery performance could be reliably measured on both the VIGS and UCOFT. Significant improvements in gunnery performance were obtained with both devices, but skills learned did not transfer from one device to the other.Keywords
