Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss applications for the Automated Simulator Test and Assessment Routine (ASTAR) in the design and acquisition of training systems. ASTAR is a computer-based, analytic method for forecasting the effectiveness of training devices; it is designed to be used throughout the training device design and acquisition process.
