About the Tutor
The Aircraft Recognition Tutor was developed as
part of a Masters Thesis in Computer Science by
CPT Larry W. Campbell. One of the major goals
of the thesis was to demonstrate that, using existing technology in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, a useful computer training tool
could be developed quickly and inexpensively.
hi addition, this training tool would run on existing hardware in the field (U.S. Army ADA Battalions).
Part of this goal has definately been met. The
Aircraft Recognition Tutor was developed over a
period of 3 months by a single individual.
Whether the tutor is useful will be determined by
you, the user.
The requirement that the tutor run on existing
hardware imposed some serious constraints on
the development of the program. U.S. Army
ADA Battalions currently have Zenith Z-248
computers with 640K RAM, 20MB Hard Disk,
