  • Patent number: 11468779
    Abstract: A method of developing and managing a training program that includes displaying a parameter selection window, receiving a selection of values of parameters to define a first training program, wherein the values of the parameters are rated on a first challenge level scale, determining a predicted performance level of a learner taking the first training program, the predicted performance level determined based on actual performance data of the learner and rated on a second challenge level scale, comparing the predicted performance level to a desired outcome, displaying results of the comparison if a difference between the predicted performance level and the desired outcome is greater than a threshold, receiving an adjustment to the values of the parameters to define a second training program, wherein the second training program has a different challenge level relative to the first training program, and administering the second training program to the learner.

  • Patent number: 10902736
    Abstract: A method of developing and managing a training program is provided. The method includes defining the training program from a plurality of parameters, defining a desired outcome of the training program for at least one learner, and determining a predicted outcome for the training program for the at least one learner. The predicted outcome is determined based on actual performance data for the plurality of parameters for the at least one learner. The method also includes adjusting the plurality of parameters of the training program if a difference between the desired outcome and the predicted outcome is greater than a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 9099009
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for training in an aircraft. An apparatus comprises an aircraft, a display system associated with the aircraft, a sensor system associated with the aircraft, and a training processor configured to be connected to the aircraft. The training processor is further configured to receive information about an operator, generate constructive data for simulated objects, generate simulation sensor data using the constructive data, and present the simulation sensor data with live sensor data generated by the sensor system on the display system. The training processor is further configured to identify a performance of the operator based on a policy and modify a simulation based on the performance of the operator.

  • Patent number: 8170976
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are present for performing a simulation. The simulation is executed. Simulation data is collected while executing the simulation to form collected simulation data. A number of events is generated by applying a first number of rules to the collected simulation data to form a number of generated events. A number of commands is generated as a reaction to the number of generated events by applying a second number of rules to the number of generated events to form a number of simulation commands. The number of simulation commands is sent to the simulation.
