TRAINING FOR SUBMARINE DESKTOP COMPUTER

The Navy Desktop Computer (DTC) hosting the Submarine Fleet Mission Program Library (SFMPL) is a dynamic computer system capable of providing support accross a spectrum of activities from basic administrative duties to complex tactical decision making support. Readily available access to training for personnel using this system is critical to ensuring that its capabilities are used. This training is not currently available. In Phase I, JHT will provide a comprehensive plan to develop, implement, test and validate embedded, interactive training for the DTC hardware and one SFMPL program. This plan will ensure that individualized training can be made available on the DTC without interfering with any of the primary SFMPL program training requirement. The training will be accessible by individual crewmembers and will eliminate the requirement for an instructor. One SFMPL program will be selected and implemented based on the JHT plan to demonstrate the effectiveness of the embedded approach. Phase II will consist of implementing the plan for the remainder of the SFMPL and testing/validation of the interactive training system on typical fleet submarine personnel.
