This collection of papers is the result of a workshop sponsored by
NATO's Defense Research Group Panel 8 in the Fall of 1991. The workshop
is the second of a series, the fIrst of which was held in the Spring of
1985. As you study these papers, recall that this workshop occurred
during the time that many changes were occurring in Eastern Europe and
world wide. The need to identify training technologies for maintaining a
capable and ready force during times of decreases in military force
structure was, and is currently, our challenge. The opportunities for
these technologies to provide a service and opportunity for nonmilitary
usage is our future. Therefore this workshop maintained its focus on
technology and application, regardless of the user. These and other
statements made herein are personal and reflect the opinions of the
author(s) and in no way represent the offIcial position or policy of our
individual governments. v PREFACE The truly international contributions
to this book reinforced our belief that training technology must be
collaborative and data widely shared to strengthen our future. We want
to thank the authors of these papers for their abilities to see beyond
the near horizon. Their contributions, and the support of the
organizations that sponsored their work is greatly appreciated. We also
gratefully recognize the contributions of all who attended the workshop.
