Abstract

Correctly identifying combat vehicles is a difficult task. As the military becomes more automated through unmanned vehicles (UVs), it will be important to make sure individuals are properly trained in the visual recognition and identification of combat targets. Due to the extensive amount of visual materials that can be used to study potential combat targets (in this case armored vehicles), it is pertinent to conduct empirical research to further evaluate the effectiveness of training media types. Through examining learning and performance outcomes, as well as individual experiences, it may be possible to better understand the effects of differing types of training media. This paper will strive to review some of the technologies that could be used for training combat identification, as well as review relevant cognitive and experiential factors that may affect training interactions, including learning, trainee enjoyment, technology acceptance and performance.
