Using a Community of Intelligent Synthetic Entities to Support Operational Team Training

Abstract

A strong need exists for a simulation-based means to provide individuals in deployed settings teamwork and cross-platform coordination skills training in realistic, mission-oriented scenarios. This need can be met by using advanced human behavioral representation technology to provide synthetic teammates and collateral entities operating within a sophisticated synthetic battlespace. When combined with a full range of automated, intelligent agent-based instructional support capabilities including real-time performance measurement, diagnosis and feedback along with menu-driven scenario generation and replay capability for debriefing purposes the result is a system called Synthetic Cognition for Operational Team Training (SCOTT). An initial SCOTT system is being developed to provide training in cross-platform coordination skills for members of the Navy E-2C Hawkeye tactical crew. The architecture and behavioral representation issues in E-2C SCOTT are discussed.
