 The
Radio Communications Trainer allows students to learn intercommunications
skills without an instructor being directly involved, saving on
classroom time. Students report on the unfolding scenario displayed
on the radar screen. The computer responds to each voice input
in real time and replaces the instrctor with voice recognition
technology for much of the lesson. Instructors monitor student
progress remotely over the networked system, allowing students
the freedom to learn at their own pace and the instructor time
to focus on those who require extra assistance.
The Trainer provides full managment tools for classes, practice
sessions, training and exams, including battlespace editing tools
for creation and editing of scenarios. Targets can appear to the
student in 'real-time', with aircraft or missile approaching at
realistic speeds as they would in a battle situation. Questions
for the student can be added as the scenario is assembled. These
lesson scenarios can then be saved into a database. For the student
this means that they can work at their own pace and with immediate
notification of correct response or error. The generic picture
and tote information presented is representative of a ship's command
system picture and interaction with the screen is via a trackball
and 'push-to-talk' headset as it would be on board ship.
System benefits:
- Networked classrooms with instructor 'snoop' facility,
- Realistic RADAR displays with full tactical scenarios,
- Voice and displayed response to student voice input,
- Scenario generator for lesson creation,
- Surface, sub-surface, aircraft, helicopter and missile targets,
- Full scenario creation and editing tools,
- Library of lesson scenarios,
- Student database with exams and work history,
- Voice intercom between students and instructor,
- Real GFE 'push to talk' headsets,
- PC environment for high reliability and low cost.
The Radio Communications Trainer may be adapted for any procedural
based training of structured voice reporting.
