Aptima has been awarded a $12.4 million Air Force contract to create a virtual trainer for the Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS).
“DCGS operators currently rely on live, on-the-job training during missions,” said a news release from Aptima, which is partnering with Leidos on the project. “The transition to a scenario-based simulator is expected to enhance the development of both individual positional skills and crew competencies for airmen who process, analyze, and share actionable intelligence from a variety of video, geospatial and other data sources.
The trainer will include Aptima’s A-Measure software, which measures trainee performance in live, virtual and constructive environments (LVC), and its Advanced Learning Management platform, which dynamically adapts instruction to optimize each trainee’s learning.
“By simulating the mission demands operators encounter, measuring their progress and performance, and tailoring their instruction, the system will remove the typical limitations of one-size-fits-all training” said Mike Garrity, Aptima’s executive vice president of government programs.”
