HUMAN PERFORMANCE, TRAINING & EDUCATION
Abstract
This activity develops and demonstrates advanced training technology and technologies that enhance neural and cognitive aspects of human performance including tactical decision-making, modeling, simulation, range instrumentation, synthetic environment generation and training effectiveness evaluation. The resources reflect an increase for enhanced requirements in support of Distributed Operations and for a DoD directed integrated capability demonstration supporting the Protection of Ground Forces and Systems. This capability demonstration has been directed to be wide ranging and encompass technologies for: -Pre-detonation of IEDs; -Personal protection materials; -Personal power generation; -Micro power sources; and -Augmented reality. The Human Performance, Training and Education activity is key to the integrated demonstration program, which will be a broad, multi-year thrust to both investigate technology integration as well as spur application of more fundamental technologies to force and platform protection. The goal is multiple broad phased force protection applications and technologies, with off-ramps for fielding successes. The FY 2009 to FY 2010 funding increase is due to enhanced development of early prototype systems for Human Performance and Training efforts (Cognitive and physical enhancement, modeling and simulation, and virtual reality and mixed reality squad level training in support of the Marine Corps concept for Distributed Operations). The FY 2010 to FY 2011 funding increase is due to planned initiation of efforts to apply learning theories for language and culture training and to initiation of related efforts in team immersive language and cultural learning in simulation environments.
