CONSTRUCTIVE SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY IN SLOVAK MILITARY AND CIVILIAN TRAINIG ENVIRONMENT

Simulation technologies in training staffs and personnel had already begun in the seventies of the last century, especially in foreign developed countries. SR has fully implemented standard simulation tools for constructive simulation into staffs' training environment. Training and preparation of personnel is exactly the area where the possibilities for simulation technologies are still endless. Simulations are the important element able to fully contribute to the formation of skills of crisis managers making non-standard decisions in non-standard situations which are in line with the needs of the most effective protection of lives and property of citizens. The civilian sector is looking for ways and possibilities of effective preparation due to changes in the security environment. The article discusses the use of simulations and simulation technologies in the process of preparation and training from the military to civilian sector. The quality of training of crisis staff at both individual and collective level determines the real ability of action and the standard of coping with crisis and emergency situations. This article also presents actual results and the contributions of experimental crisis management computer assisted exercises and also defines the area of training and points to the fact that simulations are optimal alternative solutions of the training process linked to theoretical as well as practical knowledge.
