Four alternative aircrew training equipment systems were selected for analysis: (1) a four-cockpit simulator, (2) Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI) ranges, (3) a pod-mounted recording device (PMRD) for existing aircraft, and (4) equipment-integrated embedded training (ET) systems for new aircraft. The latter two systems both quality as ET systems. Using expert opinions from a variety of Air Force sources, life-cycle costs were estimated, and qualitative factors were compared. The two ET systems were found to be the least costly alternatives when flying hours were excluded from consideration. Qualitative benefits were found to be overwhelmingly in favor of embedded training systems.
