A Model for Training, Education and Development of U. S. Navy Patrol Coastal Boat (PC) Personnel Using Distributed Learning Technologies by Alexander Davila Pdf
This research will define, assess, and evaluate current training, education and development practices and recommend cost effective measures for improvements at U.S. Naval Patrol Coastal Boat (PC) facilities. The objective is to propose a model for training technology infusion in Patrol Coastal Boats (PC) which will enable all sailors and officers assigned to these units to engage in training, education, and development activities without leaving the confines of the ship. Research will include conducting a detailed analysis of current training policies, conducting in-depth reviews of the current educational infrastructure, identifying and recommending pertinent distributed learning programs, and conducting a cost and benefits analysis of implementing distributed learning technologies onboard a PC.
Use of Simulation for Training in the U.S. Navy Surface Force by Anonim Pdf
Navy surface force training has traditionally involved a combination of shore-based and underway training. Recently, however, a number of factors-budgetary, political, and environmental concerns, as well as concerns about quality of life for naval personnel-have prompted Navy training officials to consider reducing underway training time and increasing reliance on shore-based simulators. Current personnel practices, such as rotating crews rather than ships to forward-deployed locations, also suggest that requiring crews to complete their training on the ships on which they will be deployed may be impractical. Finally, technological advances have improved productivity and realism in modeling, simulation, and distributed learning.
U. S. Coast Guard Island Class 110 WPB by Dominic S. Cusanelli,Liam O'Connell Pdf
Model experiments were performed to evaluate the performance of a stern flap on a U.S. Coast Guard Island Class 110 WPB patrol boat. Several stern flap designs of various chord lengths, spans, and angles were evaluated. The selected stern flap design was based upon maximizing power reduction at high speed, while satisfying secondary powering criteria prescribed at cruising speed and best economic speed, and limits set on desired running trim angle. A stern flap with chord length 2 ft. (0.61 m), span of 8.7 ft. (2.7 m), and an angle of 7.5 degrees trailing edge down, is recommended for installation on the Island Class. At full load, with the stern flap installed, the maximum attainable speed will increase by 0.8 knots. The stern flap maximum power reduction of 5.8 percent was attained at 16 knots. This 5.8% powering reduction includes an empirical 1.5% reduction for stern flap scaling effects as determined from tests on other ship models. Stern flap annual fuel savings for the Island Class is estimated at more than 13,000 gallons/year. The time to recover the estimated cost for stern flap fabrication and installation is less than one year. It is recommended that bow spray rails also be installed in the Island Class. The bow spray rails affected a significant reduction in the amount of spray and forward deck-wetting generated at the bow. A new DTMB Model 5526 was constructed for this project. A ship/model correlation allowance of CA = 0.0003 was estimated from a powering comparison between BAINBRIDGE ISLAND (WPB 1343) and Model 5526.

Use of Simulation for Training in the U.S. Navy Surface Force by Roland J. Yardley Pdf
A number of naval exercises can be conducted in port, using various forms of simulation, rather than at sea. Some groups, such as commercial shipping, already rely more heavily on such training than the U.S. Navy does. Can the U.S. Navy do the same, yet still maintain or improve readiness? The authors look at current uses of simulation and suggest ways to best use underway and simulation training time and strategies for implementation.

The Russian Way of War by Lester W. Grau,Charles K. Bartles Pdf
Force Structure, Tactics, and Modernization of the Russian Ground Forces The mighty Soviet Army is no more. The feckless Russian Army that stumbled into Chechnya is no more. Today's Russian Army is modern, better manned, better equipped and designed for maneuver combat under nuclear-threatened conditions. This is your source for the tactics, equipment, force structure and theoretical underpinnings of a major Eurasian power. Here's what the experts are saying: "A superb baseline study for understanding how and why the modern Russian Army functions as it does. Essential for specialist and generalist alike." -Colonel (Ret) David M. Glantz, foremost Western author on the Soviet Union in World War II and Editor of The Journal of Slavic Military Studies. "Congratulations to Les Grau and Chuck Bartles on filling a gap which has yawned steadily wider since the end of the USSR. Their book addresses evolving Russian views on war, including the blurring of its nature and levels, and the consequent Russian approaches to the Ground Forces' force structuring, manning, equipping, and tactics. Confidence is conferred on the validity of their arguments and conclusions by copious footnoting, mostly from an impressive array of primary sources. It is this firm grounding in Russian military writings, coupled with the authors' understanding of war and the Russian way of thinking about it, that imparts such an authoritative tone to this impressive work." -Charles Dick, former Director of the Combat Studies Research Centre, Senior Fellow at the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom, author of the 1991 British Army Field Manual, Volume 2, A Treatise on Soviet Operational Art and author of From Victory to Stalemate The Western Front, Summer 1944 and From Defeat to Victory, The Eastern Front, Summer 1944. "Dr. Lester Grau's and Chuck Bartles' professional research on the Russian Armed Forces is widely read throughout the world and especially in Russia. Russia's Armed Forces have changed much since the large-scale reforms of 2008, which brought the Russian Army to the level of the world's other leading armies. The speed of reform combined with limited information about their core mechanisms represented a difficult challenge to the authors. They have done a great job and created a book which could be called an encyclopedia of the modern armed forces of Russia. They used their wisdom and talents to explore vital elements of the Russian military machine: the system of recruitment and training, structure of units of different levels, methods and tactics in defense and offence and even such little-known fields as the Arctic forces and the latest Russian combat robotics." -Dr. Vadim Kozyulin, Professor of Military Science and Project Director, Project on Asian Security, Emerging Technologies and Global Security Project PIR Center, Moscow. "Probably the best book on the Russian Armed Forces published in North America during the past ten years. A must read for all analysts and professionals following Russian affairs. A reliable account of the strong and weak aspects of the Russian Army. Provides the first look on what the Russian Ministry of Defense learned from best Western practices and then applied them on Russian soil." -Ruslan Pukhov, Director of the Moscow-based Centre for the Analysis of Strategies and Technologies (CAST) and member of the Public Council of the Russian Federation Ministry of Defense. Author of Brothers Armed: Military Aspects of the Crisis in Ukraine, Russia's New Army, and The Tanks of August.
I-Docs by Judith Aston,Sandra Gaudenzi,Mandy Rose Pdf
The history of documentary has been one of adaptation and change, as docu-mentarists have harnessed the affordances of emerging technology. In the last decade interactive documentaries (i-docs) have become established as a new field of practice within non-fiction storytelling. Their various incarnations are now a focus at leading film festivals (IDFA DocLab, Tribeca Storyscapes, Sheffield DocFest), major international awards have been won, and they are increasingly the subject of academic study. This anthology looks at the creative practices, purposes and ethics that lie behind these emergent forms. Expert contributions, case studies and interviews with major figures in the field address the production processes that lie behind interactive documentary, as well as the political, cultural and geographic contexts in which they are emerging and the media ecology that supports them. Taking a broad view of interactive documentary as any work which engages with 'the real' by employing digital interactive technology, this volume addresses a range of platforms and environments, from web-docs and virtual reality to mobile media and live performance. It thus explores the challenges that face interactive documentary practitioners and scholars, and proposes new ways of producing and engaging with interactive factual content.
