Adaptive Decision Enabling and Performance Tracking

"To be effective in today's threat environment, the Air Force Global Engagement doctrine instructs personnel to be responsive, innovative, adaptable, and agile. This will be particularly important for Space-Based Infrared System senior operationspersonnel. These personnel will be managing crews composed of frequently changing members with varied specializations performing new missions such as time critical target tracking. In addition, the large number of SBIRS satellites means SBIRS crews willbe operating under significantly increased workload conditions relative to past satellite control operations. To assist these personnel with crew coordination management, we are developing a training and performance support toolkit called the AdaptiveDecision Enabling and Performance Tracking Toolkit (ADEPTT). ADEPTT will utilize cognitive agent technology to monitor and assess individual crewmember performance and team dynamics, and, based on its assessments, provide guidance via a human-computerinterface. Specifically, ADEPTT will assist with managing and prioritizing events; coordinating concurrent task performance; tracking crew member availability and workload; delegating tasks; offering context-sensitive problem solutions and explanations toreduce task performance times; providing context-sensitive links to resources used in course of action selection and execution; providing an improved basis for situation assessment and decision ma
