Developing an Automated Training Analysis and Feedback System for Tank Platoons
Author: Bill Brown (Cutlery collector)
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Military education
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
"The Army has adopted the After Action Review (AAR) process as the means of providing feedback after collective training exercises and the quality of AARs depends upon how well trainers can prepare and use data displays to show what happened during exercises and guide interactive discussions on how to improve unit performance. A previous report described a demonstration of the capability of the Automated Training Analysis and Feedback System (ATAFS) to automatically generate AAR aids after exercises in the networked simulator environment. This report describes the results of a follow-on effort to complete the development of the complete set of planned AAR capabilities and test the prototype ATAFS in a mix of Army National Guard training environments."--DTIC.

The PSI Handbook of Virtual Environments for Training and Education
Author: Joseph V. Cohn
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 031335166X
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 1441
Book Description
The increasingly complex environment of the 21st century demands unprecedented knowledge, skills and abilities for people from all walks of life. One powerful solution that blends the science of learning with the technological advances of computing is Virtual Environments. In the United States alone, the Department of Defense has invested billions of dollars over the past decade to make this field and its developments as effective as possible. This 3-volume work provides, for the first time, comprehensive coverage of the many different domains that must be integrated for Virtual Environments to fully provide effective training and education. The first volume is dedicated to a thorough understanding of learning theory, requirements definition and performance measurement, providing insight into the human-centric specifications the VE must satisfy to succeed. Volume II provides the latest information on VE component technologies, and Volume III offers discussion of an extensive collection of integrated systems presented as VE use-cases, and results of effectiveness evaluation studies. The text includes emerging directions of this evolving technology, from cognitive rehabilitation to the next generation of museum exhibitions. Finally, the handbook offers a glimpse into the future with this fascinating technology. This groundbreaking set will interest students, scholars and researchers in the fields of military science, technology, computer science, business, law enforcement, cognitive psychology, education and health. Topics addressed include guidance and interventions using VE as a teaching tool, what to look for in terms of human-centered systems and components, and current training uses in the Navy, Army, Air Force and Marines. Game-based and long distance training are explained, as are particular challenges such as the emergence of VE sickness. Chapters also highlight the combination of VE and cybernetics, robotics and artificial intelligence.

Catastrophe Disentanglement
Author: E. M. Bennatan
Publisher: Pearson Education
ISBN: 0132702355
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
“There are many books available on software risks and software failures. There are very few books that provide step-by-step information on getting troubled software projects back on track. This book provides detailed guidelines for software project recovery. Some of the steps the author recommends may be unpleasant, but all are important.” —Capers Jones, chief scientist emeritus at Software Productivity Research LLC “This is a well-conceived, well-written, interesting book about an important topic. The author is right in saying that no one else has covered this particular facet of project failure.” —Robert L. Glass, publisher of the Software Practitioner A 10-STEP PROCESS TO IDENTIFY SEVERELY TROUBLED PROJECTS AND AVOID COSTLY FAILURE It’s a software development nightmare: a project that’s rapidly spiraling out of control...or already a disaster. Conventional project management techniques won’t save these projects: there are no standard rescue processes to follow. You need something radically different: Catastrophe Disentanglement. Drawing on in-depth data from hundreds of development organizations, E.M. Bennatan presents a proven, 10-step program for rescuing any project that’s worth saving. You’ll find specific guidance for addressing massive budget overruns, schedule slippage, poor quality—or all three at once. Using practical examples drawn from decades of hands-on experience as a software development leader and consultant, Bennatan shows how to Evaluate where your project really stands Align your project’s developers, managers, and customers Defi ne the minimum acceptable project goals that are achievable Replan your project to successfully deliver the new minimum goals Identify risks in your revised project and create effective contingency plans Install an “early warning system” to keep your rescued project from slipping back toward catastrophe Catastrophe Disentanglement is an effective, comprehensive approach to software project rescue. Whenever projects are in trouble—whether you are a senior manager, project manager, team member, or software customer—this book could save your career.
