Manpower, Personnel and Training Advanced Technology

Abstract

This project matures and demonstrates advanced behavioral and social science technologies that enhance performance to ensure that the Warfighter keeps pace with the transformations in systems, weapons, equipment, and mission requirements to meet the goals of the future force. These technologies provide key capabilities through training methods and techniques that prepare Soldiers and leaders to effectively operate in complex digitized, networked environments; enable the use of embedded training technologies envisioned for future command and control (C2) systems; as well as foster cognitive, behavioral, and psychological flexibility, adaptability, and mission readiness. Efforts include the evaluation of new selection measures, the refinement of performance metrics, the assessment of innovative training techniques, and the analysis of methods and tools to better adapt training to meet goals and requirements. Increased funding in FY12 for this PE is based on work shifted from PE 0602785A due to need for increased focus on maturation and demonstration of selection techniques and tools as well as training methods. This PE leverages efforts and coordinates research with a number of other Laboratories and Research, Development, and Engineering Centers including, the Simulation and Training Technology Center (STTC), Army Research Laboratory - Human Research and Engineering Directorate (ARL-HRED) (PEs 0603015A, 0602308A, and 0602716A), and the Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center (CERDEC). Research in this PE is complementary to and fully coordinated with efforts funded in PE 0602785A (Project 790). The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work is performed and managed by the US Army Research Institute (ARI) for the Behavioral and Social Sciences in Arlington, VA.
