Imedia.it
Create knowledge lesson content for prototype with learning objectives corresponding to the ITS principles, such as…
Unmanned asset control procedures
Reporting, calls for fire
Engagement procedures
Provide SCORM expertise related to development of IPA components for the prototype
Develop sequenced SCORM 2004 package containing the lesson and 2 scenario LSF objects

Imedia.it SCORM Experience
More than 2 years creating SCORM 2004 content
Presented at Plugfest 9 regarding conversion of Common Ground Station course from SCORM 1.2 to 2004
In 2005, developed ICT with Stottler Henke, which was the 1 st SCORM 2004 course delivered to the US Army
Developed 55 content packages, including 520 SCOs for the US Army since 2005
Demonstrated “on the fly” remediation using SSP during ImplementationFest 2006 and ITEC 2007.
Active members of the ADL SCORM TWG

Imedia.it SCORM Experience, cont’d
Members of SISO SCORM/Simulation study group
Won award for best SCORM compliant product (Tactical Questioning) at ELearning Demofest 2006
Working with US Army PM-DLS to identify and document issues with current ALMS
Provided consulting for over a dozen major LMS vendors regarding SCORM compliance issues, including the first two 3 rd Edition certified vendors.

Projects – ICT Intelligence in Combating Terrorism SCORM 2004 course Collaboration between Imedia.it and Stottler Henke This screen shows the intelligence traffic, a partially complete association matrix and a partially complete link diagram. The message summary in the top left panel also indicates if a message has been completely processed. A check mark indicates that the student has identified all associations or events in the message.

Projects – ICT

Projects – AOC-ITS Web-based refresher training ITS for Air Force AOC planners.

Projects – CACCTUS Automated AAR system for USMC combined arms team training at single sites or synchronous distributed sites.

Projects – C2V ITS Command and Control Vehicle embedded trainer testbed with integrated Intelligent Structured Trainer providing automated evaluation.

C2V Testbed

C2V History
Built as a one person futuristic robotic control station to support embedded training research
Patterned after early concepts for Future Combat System (FCS) command and control stations
Represents crew station that might reside in the back of an FCS command and control vehicle
Used for intelligent tutoring and human-robotic interaction research and experimentation by Army Research Lab (ARL) and UCF graduate students

C2V Functionality
A Soldier would use the control station to manage both ground (UGV) and air (UAV) unmanned vehicle operations
From the testbed, operator can
Designate routes for UGVs to follow autonomously
Drive UGVs remotely using testbed controls
Engage targets with UGV weapons
Manage route and altitude for autonomous UAVs
Monitor and manage sensors on UGVs and UAVs
Send messages such as call for fires or spot reports

C2V Display Layout Situational Awareness Autonomous Vehicle Status, Robotic Control Interface Sensor View Vehicle Instruments, Switches, Knobs, Target List Driver’s View Gunner’s View

C2V Software Architecture
Simulation is driven by One Semi-Automated Forces (OneSAF) using Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) protocol
Data collection is external
Data collection sequence
Event detected internally
DIS message created and published externally
Message received by S2Focus
Message parsed to SQL database

C2V Testbed Hardware Sensor View Vehicle Instruments, Target List Weapon View Host 1 Host 2 IG IG IG Autonomous Vehicle Status, Robotic Control (OCU) Interface S2FOCUS Data Collection Other DIS Simulators

C2V Hardware
Touchscreen Displays
Six Displays in 3 X 2 Grid
TouchScreen interface with resistive touch surfaces
1024 X 768 resolution
Six Shuttle Computers
For Image Generation and Host Computers
Operating System is Linux

Primary Goals ITS Interoperability Execute ITS exercises using LTP configuration instructions provided by the DTECS based on SCORM sequenced LSF input. Embedded Trainer Compatibility Prototype a framework in which a SCORM course can include virtual training events in the embedded or facility based setting.

Proposed Architecture

Initial Phase I Concept
Develop initial course for skills applied on the C2V testbed
Support lesson SCO
C2V ITS scenario represented with an LSF object
DTECS retrieval of compatible LTP file
Demonstration consisting of two executions
Beginner student diagnosed as such as a result of the initial support lesson
More advanced student, for whom a more advanced scenario will be retrieved and delivered
Potential additional major goals for Phase II
Capture ITS assessment output in Learner Profile
Present remedial exercises

Guiding Principles
Leverage current and preceding efforts
DTECS, LSF, LTP, etc.
Compare notes / collaborate with other prototype efforts
Minimize new course development
Reuse existing scenarios for the testbed
Focus development efforts on developing or extending IPA concepts of interest to JADL Co-Lab
Link the ITS world with the DL world!
