Research abstract
The effectiveness of weapons platforms employed by the Marine Corps is dependent on a maintenance technician’s ability to rapidly diagnose and solve problems associated with them. Given the unfavorable distribution of novice versus expert maintainers, it would be ideal if intelligent agents could be used to provide junior maintainers with troubleshooting assistance while enhancing overall development. To address this need, we propose to design, develop, and evaluate the Adaptive User-Guided Multimodal ENhanced Troubleshooter (AUGMENT). Based on the results of our Phase I effort, the AUGMENT system will significantly improve the troubleshooting capabilities of junior maintainers through the use of adaptive intelligent agents. Under Phase II, we will extend our Phase I analysis and design effort to implement a full-scope system for supporting both problem diagnosis and solution while providing on-the-job training.
