Human Performance, Training and Education

The portfolio is divided into three technical investments areas.

• Decision Making and Expertise Development: Accelerate, enhance, and sustain decision-making skills and expertise at scale through effective and efficient training.
• Warrior Resilience: Enhance individual performance and readiness, and reduce negative consequences of stressors (e.g., physical injuries) at scale to improve task performance and lethality of close combat related positions. 
• Augmented Warfighter Operations: Operational tools that accelerate the Observe, Orient, Decide and Act (OODA) loop and improve decision-making capabilities through human-machine teaming — such as autonomous systems, agents, mixed reality display devices. 
   

• Theory-driven standards for information visualization, interaction methods, and information presentation within dismount/Infantry military-relevant environments.
• Low-cost mobile and stable AR platform that is useable over a wide area capable of dynamic landmark updates for increased training efficacy and opportunities.
• Generate (reuse or author) content for adaptive training by non-technical personnel.
• Algorithms to determine the appropriate adaptations and learner feedback to maximize learning outcomes .
• Subjective and diagnostic cognitive performance assessment for classroom and field training.
• After Action Review tools for effectively and efficiently visualizing performance and highlighting performance strengths and weaknesses .
• Measureable human performance and relevant MOS-specific metrics for ground-based Fleet / Force events.
• Expansion of correlational outcomes towards predictive modeling using human performance assessments as the underlying foundation for process and procedures.
• Human performance data analytics, visualization, and actionable recommendations for non-technical human performance subject matter experts.
• User interfaces that can intelligently adapt to user needs, environmental context, and available input/output devices without impacting operations. 
• Deliver capabilities that enable improved decision making, such as outdoor augmented reality systems and automated terrain capture for display in virtual environments.
• Human-machine teaming simulation environments that enable training, mission rehearsal, CONOPS development, and after-action review.
