Intelligent Tutor Development for Information Operations

Adroit Systems Inc. (ASI), in association with Klein Associates Inc., proposes to develop an Intelligent Computer Aided Instruction (ICAI) training system for information operations personnel to maximize mission effectiveness and achieve Information Superiority. Training objectives will focus on Crew Resource Management (CRM) principles. Those principles necessitate a comprehensive system tailored to organization-specific mission requirements enabling optimum indivudual and crew performance. Consequently, the training must be interactive and based on eriority as a keystone requirement underpinning four operational concepts: Precision Engagement, Dominant Maneuver, Focused Logistics, and Full Dimensional Protection. The outcome is Full Spectrum Dominance. Given the revolutionary development in information technologies, the side that effectively exploits these assets will gain tremendous competitive advantage. The innovative utilization and training of personnel who employ these technologies will promote synergy and performance at their maximum potential. The objective of Phase I is to identify methods and objectives for simulation-based ICAI teaching CRM skills to personnel operating in the information superirotiy arena, and provide a sample block of instruction. Phase II will develop a prototype simulation-based, ICAI training system for personnel performing a specific information superority mission, as well as a plan for evaluating its training effectiveness.
