Two separate experiments were performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Navy 2F69B Weapon System Trainer. These experiments were conducted at the Patuxent River Naval Air Station, Patuxent, Maryland. Training Squadron VP-30 provided the WST, aircraft, students, and instructor personnel used in both studies. During the first study, experimental data were collected on two classes of students composed of six and seven crews. During the second study, data were collected on two classes of students composed of four and seven crews. The first series of experiments were conducted in the WST. The second series were conducted in both the WST and airborne environments. It was apparent from the experimental data, questionnaire responses, and direct observation of training activities that the most beneficial ASW tactics training occurs in the WST. There were also clear indications that the training received in the WST was transferred in a positive manner to the airborne environment. As a result of these studies, it is recommended that the number of WST training sessions be increased and that the number of P3 training flights be reduced. (Author)
