SDS To Develop A Human-Computer Visualization Training System For US Army
Orlando FA (SPX) Sep 02, 2005 SDS International has been awarded a Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) contract by the US Army to develop a PC-based, interactive, human-computer visualization training system that will effectively train well-defined, human-visualization skills critical to the success of the warfighter. This STTR, entitled Joint Visualization Module for Enhanced Human-Computer Capabilities (performed by SDS International's Advanced Technologies Division, Orlando, Florida), will focus on the development of a prototype training system that applies digital 3D technology to provide more efficient, effective and available (distributed) methods to learn basic 2D map-reading skills and, ultimately, to better comprehend Mission, Enemy, surrounding Terrain, engaging Troops and Time (METT-T) constraints, and be able to expeditiously deduce tactics or strategies critical to improving survivability and mission effectiveness under varying terrain and threat environments. SDS will leverage the extensive visualization capabilities resident in its AAcuity PC-IG, ARGoST Rapid Terrain Generation system, and other distributed-training applications to develop a comprehensive suite of technologies and training packages that will enhance the visualization and conceptualization capabilities of the warfighter. While the initial focus will be on the entry-level soldier up to and including junior Noncommissioned Officers and Company Grade Officers, the overall training-system architecture will support a wide variety of training applications ranging from individual/self-paced learning to distributed, instructor-led/facilitated team training in both open and urban terrain settings. The goal of this STTR is not to develop additional warfighting tools to be carried on the battlefield but, rather, to provide innovative, effective 3D visualization training tools that enhance the development of the critical cognitive skills needed for soldiers to more effectively employ forces on the modern battlefield.
