Intelligent Scenario Generation Tools for Training and Rehearsal

Micro Analysis & Design, Inc. (MA&D) proposes to conduct innovative research and development aimed at demonstrating methods for diagnosing student competencies and training needs, and adapting the sequence and content of scenarios to target identified weaknesses. The proposed Phase II effort will develop and demonstrate prototype software to diagnose air combat competency and skill deficiencies and select training scenario characteristics and events to target the deficient competencies. Task modeling and probabilistic methods will be applied to support the pilot instructor in (1) assessing trainee performance and diagnosing deficient skills or competencies, and (2) selecting scenarios and scenario elements to challenge identified skill or competencies. A prototype demonstration will provide data on the efficacy of the diagnostic tools for appropriateness of scenario generation to impact deficient competency and skill areas for the identified mission area.
