Cognitive model supported tactical training simulation
conference paper
Simulation-based tactical training can be made more effective by using cognitive software agents to play key roles (e.g. team mate, adversaries, instructor). Due to the dynamic and complex nature of military tactics, it is hard to create agents that behave realistically and support the training leader in keeping control over the scenario. For successful use in training, agents should provide trainees with opportunities to achieve the learning objectives in both simple and complex scenarios. We developed such a cognitive agent, playing the enemy force in a tactical training scenario. The cognitive agent was then integrated in a training simulation and tested with naval officers. Results show that the agent successfully supported achievement of the learning goals.
