simulation and training - intelligent interactive "virtual forces"

Human trainees interact with intelligent virtual forces - virtual forces play the roles of other pilots and ground controllers. For example, in our cockpit simulator environment, the human pilot talks on the radio and "Virtual Forces", playing roles of pilots and controllers, responds with speech.

JACK™ Intelligent Agents and JACK Teams, linked with speech recognition provide:

• ability to converse with simulated entities
• high-level graphical representation of human behaviour (goals, plans, beliefs)
• flexible representation of teams and command, control and communications (C3) structures

JBenefits unique to Intelligent Virtual Forces:

• ACK™ intelligent agents provide realistic, complex human behaviours and tactics
• reduced personnel requirements, lower staffing costs (human/agent substitution)
• consistency of training experience, without “false training” caused by predictable scripted entities
• pilots can practice in large scenarios - more realistic training experience
• supports deployable trainer, where human operators are not available
• easy to incorporate new doctrine and tactics - ensures training environment representative of current operational environment
• graphical behaviour representation - supports V&V by operational personnel
• JACK agents can exhibit human variability
