An Intelligent Tutoring Simulation for Military Operations in Urban Terrain
Abstract
Simulation has played a major role in military training. Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) allows multiple trainees to interact in real time on a common training problem. While DIS is a powerful training tool, a trainer is typically required to review trainee performance and make the appropriate teaching and remedial points. As training scales to larger and larger exercises, the trainer will naturally focus on general team performance at the expense of individual training needs. Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) have focused on providing instruction on a one-to-one basis. Integrating DIS and ITS technologies offer the opportunity to capitalize on the strengths of both: the ability to conduct large scale team exercises while providing each trainee with personalized instruction. The present paper reports a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SIBIR) project, sponsored by the U.S. Army Simulation, Training and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM) in which an Intelligent Tutoring SimulationTM was developed to train Army Infantry squad and fire team leaders the skills they need to cooperatively perform military operations in urban terrain (MOUT).
