  1. A Comparison of Current VS Simulation Based Marksmanship Training with the use of Indoor Simulation Marksmanship Trainer (ISMT) LT Tommy Getty

  2. Motivation • Current Marksmanship Training • My experience

  3. Purpose • This thesis explores whether simulation based marksmanship training with ISMT improves marksmanship performance to a greater extent than current naval marksmanship training.

  4. Methodology • A between groups study with a random selection of volunteers (blocked by previous marksmanship experience) will be conducted. • Marksmanship performance will be measured by diameter size of group shots and scores on the standard Navy Handgun Qualification Course of fire.

  6. Grouping Shots 3 Yards 7 Yards 15 Yards

  7. MPI Data 3 Yards 7 Yards 15 Yards

  9. Research Question • Can the ISMT be used as an effective part-task trainer to improve performance for the 9mm Berretta on the standard Navy Handgun Qualification Course of fire (OPNAVINST 3591.1F 12Aug2009 page 40-50)?

  10. Hypothesis 1 • H0: There will be no change in the participants’ marksmanship performance and scores in the Qualification Course of fire from the baseline performance. • HA: Participants who receive simulation based training in ISMT will have a greater improvement in marksmanship performance and scores in the Qualification Course of fire from the baseline performance than participants who received current naval marksmanship training.

  11. Research Question • If a participant in the experimental (simulation) group does not pass the Qualification Course of fire, will they have a better chance of meeting the marksmanship standard after receiving simulation based training in ISMT than a participant in the control group?

  12. Hypothesis 2 • H0: Among those who do not meet the qualification standard at baseline, there will be an equal number of participants in each group who do not meet the qualification standard after training. • HA: Among those who do not meet the qualification standard at baseline, a greater number of participants in the experimental group will reach qualification standard after simulation based training than in the control group.

  13. Research Question • Will participant in the experimental (simulation) group have a better chance of retaining what they learned after one week of no instruction, than participants in the control group?

  14. Hypothesis 3 • H0: Participants in each group will be equally likely to maintain their marksmanship performance and scores on the Qualification Course of fire one week after the training day. • HA: Participants in the experimental group will be more likely than those in the control group to maintain their marksmanship performance and scores on the Qualification Course of fire one week after the training day.

  15. Indoor Simulation Marksmanship Trainer (ISMT)

  16. Benefits of Study • This research is intended to provide naval personnel with the option to using simulation for the purpose of basic training necessary to meet a qualification standard.

  17. Benefits of Study • The purpose for doing this research is to provide a more robust method for conducting marksmanship training in the Navy.

  18. Benefits of Study • By providing the means to practice a perishable skill like marksmanship, the navy may have less incidents or casualties.
