TIER 1 PERFORMANCE SOLUTIONS LLC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: MDA15-005

Description

We propose warfighter training systems that are more effective, engaging, and efficient than todays systems. Practicing in a simulated environment has little value without the ability to accurately assess and remediate performance. Unique actions and decisions of each performer must be quantified and related to mission success or failure in a way that appropriately maps the contributing knowledge, skills, and abilities. Through scoring, the system can determine proficiency gaps and recommend necessary areas of improvement. Gamification principles can be applied to increase engagement and sustain motivation for the learner to hone his or her craft. To address these challenges, we propose to develop SCORESimulated Challenges for Operational Readiness and Engagement. SCORE will enable a data-driven competency-centric learning lifecycle by integrating with external simulations, analyzing user interaction data, generating performance metrics and presenting the users performance in a gameful design that leverages best practices from the psychology of motivation and engagement.(Approved for Public Release 15-MDA-8482 (17 November 15))
