Advanced Embedded Training with Real-Time Simulation for Navy Surface Combatant Tactical Teams

摘要

This paper acknowledges that there are emerging training challenges for the United States Navy, and proposes that embedded training is a solution to meet these new requirements for training individuals as well as teams. Embedded training is defined as not only as a means for stimulating operational systems for simulated practice, but also as trainer support for developing, managing and conducting scenario-based training through automated processes. The definition also includes automated management and implementation of effective, timely and pedagogically sound training for the individuals and teams being trained. How does it accomplish this? Several functions of embedded training are discussed which include: (1) automated training objective selection and scenario development, (2)automated individual and team performance measurement and observation, (3) intelligent performance assessment and diagnosis, (4) on-line feedback and computer-assisted coaching, (5) automated post-exercise debriefings with immediately available performance data, (6) updating of historical performance data bases for focusing future training, (7) distribution of technical documentation related to objectives. All of the above functions are integrated using an intelligent training management architecture. Where appropriate an example of the Advanced Embedded Training System developed by NAWCTSD will be used as a existing example of embedded training.
