Barriers, Bridges, and Progress in Cognitive Modeling for Military Applications

Abstract

The role of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), like the other service laboratories, is to conduct the basic and applied research and advanced technology development necessary to create future technology options for the Department of Defense. At the Warfighter Readiness Research Division of AFRL's Human Effectiveness Directorate, we have initiated a research program focused on mathematical and computational cognitive process modeling for replicating, understanding, and predicting human performance and learning. This research will lead to new technology options in the form of human-level synthetic teammates, cognitive readiness analysis tools, and predictive and prescriptive knowledge-tracing algorithms. Creating a future in which these objectives become realities requires tightly coupled, multidisciplinary, collaborative interaction among scientists and engineers dedicated to overcoming the myriad challenges standing between current reality and our future vision.
