TADSS test questions and answers (training aids,
devices, simulators, and simulations)
1. Chapter 11 identifies TADSS. What does TADSS stand for?: Training Aids
Devices Simulators Simulations
2. Define Training Aids: Tools that provide assistance in conducting training
3. Define Devices (Appended Equipment): Appended equipment includes three-dimensional
training products that mount on the platform and can be acti- vated mechanically or electrically
4. Define Simulators: Stand alone trainers that replicate the functions of equip- ment or systems.
5. Define Simulations: Replicate a combat environment for training from the individual to the
collective level using computers.
Simulators, as used in the HBCT manual, refer to either to networked simulators or to appended
devices that provide a combat system the ability to train as a simulator.
6. Common Training Aids: Tracking boards
Laser Target Interface Device (LTID) Scale Models
Dummy Rounds
Recognition of Combat Vehicle (ROC-V)
Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement Systems (MILES) Combined Arms Tactical Trainer
