We’re mere weeks away from I/ITSEC 2018 and the defense industry is anxiously awaiting the world’s largest modeling, simulation, and training event. Experts in this industry look forward to exploring this year’s theme
Editor’s Note: As I/ITSEC 2018 rapid approaches, the Modern Military Training editorial team wanted to share a message directly from this year’s Conference Chair, Elizabeth Biddle, Ph.D., Technical Fellow at Boeing. The note penned
Last month, Land Forces 2018 took place at the Adelaide Convention Center in Adelaide, Australia and brought together more than 15,000 defense experts from around the world to discuss the Asian-Pacific (APAC) defense
As today’s battlespace continues to expand, military aviators need to stay digitally connected to data from the ground to the air to achieve their mission. Yet, before these warfighters enter the aircraft, they require
Since 2015, Operation Blended Warrior (OBW) was an exercise that showcased Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) adoption and the power of collaboration between industry and military leaders looking to implement training programs at the
Operation Blended Warrior (OBW) 2016 marked the second year of a three-year effort to document lessons learned and understand barriers to implementing Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) distributed training. In the first year of the event, LVC focus areas included connectivity, interoperability, data standards, after-action review, and cyber security. Year two introduced additional focus areas: multi-level security, cross domain solutions, long-haul feeds, and performance measurement. This paper focuses on this latter area—defining and collecting performance measures.
Several trends within the simulation and training industry are emphasizing the need for measurable proof that training solutions meet or exceed the requirements for delivering effective training. Cognitive state is a key component of learning, meaning that classification of cognitive state and capacity can provide a measure of training effectiveness. However, accurate classification of trainee state is an extremely challenging task. The more traditional subjective assessment methods have several limitations, while objective assessment methods can be difficult to implement.
Starting today, military training leaders and experts will be gathering at the Spire Events Center in Washington, D.C. to attend the 2018 Military Virtual Training and Simulation Summit, hosted by the Defense Strategies
