Human systems advanced technology-Advanced training systems development

摘要

The shift toward information intensive, technically sophisticated, military missions will have major implications for current and future training systems which will be developed and implemented under greater budget constraints than previous systems. New methodologies such as Instructional Systems Development (ISD) Decision Aiding Models; Cognitive Conceptual Representation for Decision Making, and Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) (a form of expert system) hold promise to reduce instructional development time, reduce manpower requirements, and improve methodologies to train higher levels of cognitive skill complexity. The Advanced Training Systems Development project has five main objectives. One, will apply the methods of cognitive science to behavioral research designed to better understand how pilots plan and conduct air combat missions. This application will result in a prototype ITS for pilot training of air intercept radar tracking and intercept geometry. The second representation of an air-combat engagement with a simulated mission. The third objective will provide a report of differences in knowledge and decision making between more and less experienced pilots in air-combat engagements. An evaluation of expert system shells and intelligent tutoring systems with demonstrations of pilot tasks on an intelligent tutoring system will impact the fourth objective. The final objective will be completed by the design, and development, and testing of a Joint Service Instructional Systems Development/Aircrew training Decision Support System.
