International Journal of ASRO Volume 11, Number 1, pp. 101-111 Jan 2020 PATH ANALYSIS BETWEEN CONSTRUCTS OF TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE MODEL (TAM) (A CASE STUDY ON RECEIPT OF VIRTUAL ARMS SOLUTION FTS D - 423 IN INDONESIAN EASTERN FLEET TRAINING COMMAND) Ikhwan Syahtaria, Ahmadi, Bambang Suharjo, Pius Herdasa Krisna Murti Indonesian Naval Technology College, STTAL Surabaya Indonesia ABSTRACT Indonesian Eastern Fleet Training Command currently has the facilities to train professional soldiers in the shooting. A simulator facility in the form of computer-based clinic shooting is called Virtual Arms Solution FTS D-423 (VAS). Need to analyse the relationship between perceived ease of use and usefulness of VAS in order to determine the level of acceptance. Both these factors are modelled by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) which can explain the factors that influence the actual receipt of the use of technology. After that, the relationship between the two factors that have been modelled with the Technology Acceptance Model to be treated using Path Analysis (Path Analysis). Where the path analysis was used to analyse the causal relationships between variables in order to determine the effect of the direct and indirect causes of the variable to a variable result. Based on the analysis and discussion, it is obtained as follows that the ease and usefulness of a positive effect on Attitude using VAS positive effect on Behavioural Intention using VAS. Behavioural intentions affect the Actual Usage. Keywords: Virtual Arms Solution, Technology Acceptance Model, Path Analysis. 1. INTRODUCTION weapons in the field of exercise out door. As well as Indonesian Eastern Fleet Training Command is the reluctance of some unity to use this simulator to one of the institutions of the Navy which has the task practice. of coaching and professional training of Navy To solve the above problem, there should be a personnel in the Indonesian Eastern Fleet Command. relationship between perceived ease of use and One form of the professionalism of individual soldiers usefulness of VAS in order to determine the level of shooting ability.

Both these factors are modelled by the Navy personnel, technology support is expected to Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) which can play an important role. Indonesian Eastern Fleet explain the factors that influence the actual receipt of Training Command currently has the facilities to the use of technology. According to Davis (1986), train professional soldiers in the shooting.

After that, the relationship between the (VAS). two factors that have been modelled with TAM will be VAS technology has been used by soldiers of treated using Path Analysis (Path Analysis). Where unity that is different, that of every personnel have the path analysis (path analysis) was used to analyse different perceptions of acceptance.
