Description
It has long been established that the best way to learn is to have a private tutor who works with you one-on-one, adapting the training to your learning needs. In such a setting, one can: ask the tutor questions, get feedback on an approach to solving a problem, and suggestions on how to improve. Our objective in this proposal is to adapt VIPER, originally developed for the Airforce Education and Training Command (AETC) Pilot Training Next program, to the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) virtual reality simulator that can perform the six jobs listed above for trainees learning to fly the T6B aircraft, thus developing an adaptive training solution that effectively and efficiently individualizes training for trainees by identifying non-optimal instances of state and/or performance, identifying the root cause(s) of issues, mitigating root cause(s) of issues in an appropriate manner, and summarizing trainee status post-scenario via a comprehensive, targeted AAR. The end result will be a training system that helps to accelerate and automate pilot training.
