Resumen
The article highlights advantages of the concept of Distributed Mission Training (DMT) and its applications, especially, in military operations. DMT is the creation of the shared environment, comprised of real, virtual and constructive systems that allow teams of individuals to train both individually and collectively. While DMT is primarily a team-training concept that has evolved in the U.S. Department of Defense for its operational forces, its foundations in terms of training principles and technologies have far-reaching implications to the field of human training in general. The synergistic combination of the three primary domains of DMT can become both the training and the operational backbone of future enterprises, where actual operations and training events are differentiated only by their objectives and outcomes. Inspite of R?D investments, DMT requires additional investments in simulators, training platforms, imaging systems and networking capabilities. A common global vision for this integrating concept could conceivably lower the cost, extend lives of actual operating systems, for a far superior training capability.
