Description of the Book:

This report describes the development and evaluation of the Night Readiness, LLC Virtual Terrain Board (VTB) (V2.0c) and its instructional modules for NVG ground training. The evaluation consisted of a training effectiveness assessment of the VTB, using feedback from qualified NVG Training Course terrain board instructors and students undergoing refresher training and students attending initial NVG ground training at six military VTB installations. The primary objectives of the training effectiveness evaluation were to determine if the established terrain board learning objectives could be accomplished with the VTB, to identify additional learning objectives that could be accomplished using the VTB, and to identify areas of improvement required to increase the training value of the VTB system. The results indicated that the VTB is an effective training device that can accomplish most aspects of the established terrain board learning objectives. Specific limitations identified by some instructors and students included demonstrations of the effects of different color/wavelengths of light, illumination levels on halos, and effects related to NVG gain.

VTB development currently in progress along with the improvements recommended in this evaluation will provide a balanced, practical approach to improving the usability, versatility and training effectiveness of the VTB
