This report describes the background for, and development of, a prototype Combat Vehicle Identification Program by the Army Research Institute. This research is in response to requests from both TRADOC and FORSCOM. The ability of U.s. and allied forces to expeditiously and accurately discriminate between friendly and hostile vehicles at extended ranges of engagement is critical if we are to be successful on the fluid battlefield of the future. Target recognition training existing prior to the initiation of this research project had one or more of the following weaknesses: did not train for recognition under field conditions, e.g., masking, smoke; had no standardized methodology for presentation; required extensive support in the form of training areas and/or equipment; did not train for recognition at realistic combat ranges (i.e., emphasized vehicle characteristics not visible at longer realistic ranges); did not train for recognition at night using night vision devices; and did not provide an ongoing measures of recognition training skills.
