COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF NURSING HOMES

Not Available We propose to apply significant experience and familiarity with the warfighter's needs in space, space environments, DMT, training requirements to the problem of identifying space requirements, and determining how DMT can support space training. We will develop an operational, networked training facility to evaluate the application of DMT technologies to space environments using our experience with DMT, distributed simulation, advanced software architecture development, long-haul networking, and training requirements. Our Phase I objectives are: (1) define space operator and warfighter training needs; (2) define DMT current and evolving capabilities; (3) define enhancements (to the DMT) for space and identify enabling technologies; and (4) identify commercialization opportunities. Our Phase I products are: (1) a DMT capabilities evaluation; (2) a space training requirements list; (3) technology assessment results; (4) a Phase II Development and Demonstration Plan; and (5) a Preliminary Commercialization Plan. In a continuation period, we will also provide implementation and demonstration requirements for Phase II and a preliminary (top-level) design of the architecture for Phase II. The overall result will be quantified assessment of feasibility within technology definitions and a sound plan to conduct development and demonstrations in Phase II to enhance the warfighter's effectiveness in space.
