Exercise phase Time savings estimate Comment
Planning Minimum 500 h Well-defined training objectives are easily mapped to individual trainingevents. The ability to base MEL/MIL-production on a database of bestpractice reduces time for scripting. More effective collaborative planning isachieved (including in a distributed environment).
Execution Minimum 250 h Less staff in exercise control through more efficient HICON/LOCON taskmanagement. Integration with simulators reduces operator manpowerrequirements. More efficient coordination efforts during execution,including the ability to dynamically adjust planned events leads to lower riskof stand-still and a higher degree of training objectives fulfilled.
Evaluation& reporting
Minimum 250 h Includes the ability to use pre-configured reporting templates and todistribute reports with less post-exercise production efforts.
Total time saved Minimum 1000 hours
