History
The
Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education
Conference (I/ITSEC) promotes cooperation among the Armed Services, Industry,
Academia and various Government agencies in pursuit of improved
training and education programs, identification of common training
issues and development of multiservice programs.
Initiated in 1966
as the Naval Training Device Center/Industry Conference, the
conference has evolved and expanded through increased participation
by the
Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Industry.
In
1979 it became known as the Interservice/Industry Training Equipment
Conference. The Services have steadily evolved toward a total
systems philosophy in the acquisition of training equipment and
training delivery
systems.
In 1986 the Conference name was further refined to the
Interservice/Industry Training Systems Conference (I/ITSC)
to recognize the increased importance of Manpower, Personnel, and
Training aspects in the systems acquisition process.
In 1992
the name was further changed to the Interservice/Industry
Training Systems and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) to reflect
the consolidation
of the Manpower and Training Committee (MTC) and the Technology
and Innovations in Training and Education (TITE) Conference
with
I/ITSEC. This change emphasizes the importance of education
and the man-machine interface in meeting force-training requirements
through simulation training.
In 1997, to reflect continued growth and changes in the industry,
the conference name was refined to the Interservice/Industry
Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC).
