Abstract

As part of the Command Team Experimental Test-bed project a submarine control room simulator was constructed. Subject Matter Expert advice was sought throughout to ensure fidelity. However, no dedicated analysis was performed to validate the final result. To resolve this a comparison of Work Domain Analysis outputs was completed to identify levels of fidelity present within the simulator. Outputs were generated from a study at HMS Drakes Talisman, which were compared to previously completed outputs of the simulation facility.
