{AITE}

The goal of this research initiative is to develop a cohesive program of research that addresses learning methods and technologies which are 1) based on an understanding of task and domain specific knowledge, skill, and attitude (KSA) needs, 2) driven by continual assessment and diagnosis of individual and team capabilities and potentials and 3) implemented as adaptive/individualized selection and training solutions to produce more efficient and effective combat behavior across the span of Marine Corps missions.

AITE is a research initiative sponsored by U.S. Navy's
Office of Naval Research (ONR).

The ACTIVE Lab will be working with The Engagement Skills Trainer (EST) 2000 to help improve functionality and appearance. The EST 2000 enables Soldiers and squad leaders to take steps just as they would do in the field.

As the most accurate small arms training system available today, this device trains marksmanship skills, squad level collective defense, and judgmental `shoot-don't shoot' tactics. The EST 2000 system currently is being deployed in the US Army's Initial Entry Training for Basic Rifle Marksmanship skills for all new Soldiers entering the Army. Training is conducted on various weapons including rifles, pistols, machine guns, shotguns, anti-tank and grenade launchers.

{HATS}

The objectives of the HATS program include 1) the development and experimentation of integrated, mixed initiative, live, virtual and constructive environments to explore aspects of human agent/robotic interactions, 2) to investigate neurophysiological sensing to monitor the human participant’s “state”, 3) to conduct a variety of empirical studies to better understand the human-agent team issues during operations (e.g. supervisory control of unmanned vehicles and improved performance through autonomous technologies)

HSCB-IRON's research efforts are geared towards methodology and technology for a Human, Social, and Cultural Behavior (HSCB) Training & Analysis System.

Research of existing literature, interviews with subject matter experts (SME), and identification of tasks within the Continuum of Military Operations (CMO)  will be used to populate an HSCB database and develop scenarios.

{NEW-IT}

The Next-generation Expeditionary Warfare Intelligent Training program is a 3-year contract sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. NEW-IT supports US Marine Corps (USMC) training by delivering adaptive, intelligent, and dynamic instructional support solutions to enhance productive training time, particularly training focused on the development of higher-order cognitive skills. Prototype products developed under NEW-IT are being integrated with USMC’s Deployable Virtual Training Environment (DVTE), a multi-user laptop-based simulation suite fielded world-wide by the Marine Corps.

NEW-IT is sponsored by the U.S. Navy's
Office of Naval Research (ONR).

The overall aim of "Warfighter Intuition" is to develop a theoretical framework for intuition-based decision making, which is supported by empirical evidence. We will achieve this through two experiments that seek to characterize the temporal, spatial, and contextual parameters of intuitive decision making as well as to distinguish intuitive decision making from other types of decisionmaking. In addition, we will hold two workshops with field experts to explicate future research in this area, as well as support a conceptual design of a Decision Aide that facilitates intuitive decision making through measuring and managing the process.
