  1. Mobile Modular Command Center (M2C2): Advanced Training for an Advanced Vehicle Keith Molina Akamai Maui Internship Program

  2. Akimeka, LLC (1 of 3) • Mission • Provide quality IT services and products to government agencies, especially the Department of Defense. • Earn a superior reputation by providing value-added, innovative solutions to our clients. • Foster growth and profitability for our employees.

  3. Akimeka, LLC (2 of 3) • VisionTo build a respected and profitable Hawaii-based company that creates value: • For their customers, through innovative IT solutions; • For their employees, through opportunities for professional challenge and personal growth • For their community, through job creation, educational outreach, and community service.

  4. Akimeka, LLC (3 of 3) • Values Akimeka was started with five principles in mind: • Ohana (family) • Lokahi(harmony) • Laulima (cooperation) • Ho'okipa (generosity) • Koa (courage of leadership)

  5. Project Background (1 of 3) • Primary Developers: U.S. Marine Forces Pacific Experimentation Center Office of Naval Research (ONR) Akimeka, LLC (Multifunction Antenna and M2C2 Training Program)

  6. Project Background (2 of 3) • Primary Features: • An integrated multifunction antenna • Advanced computer and networking systems • Ability to be single lifted to a combat region • Interoperability with existing U.S. and foreign equipment • On-the-go and over-the-horizon capabilities Osprey carrying a HMMWV

  7. Project Background (3 of 3) • Main Goals • Enhance situational awareness for Joint Early Entry Package (JEEP) • Improve command and control capabilities for on-site and off-shore operators • Add additional support for the Command, Control, Communications, and Computers (C4) architecture already used by military forces Naval Comm. M2C2 Ground Forces

  8. Problem • Gaps in the U.S. Marine Field Radio Operator MOS (Marine Operational Specialty) curriculum is not sufficient to operate the M2C2 efficiently • Additional training courses must be taken • The proposed training solution must be flexible enough to accommodate the Marines and not the other way around • An Advanced Training Technology Program (ATTP) must be developed Radios Networking Software

  9. Objectives • Identify the gaps • Identify current and future training technologies • Perform an analysis of data collected to determine a new and innovative ATTP Proposal M2C2 ATTP July 20, 2005 Proposal Proposal Proposal • Complete a proposal demonstrating ATTP idea and implementation

  10. My Focus • Training Technologies • Video Gaming (a type of virtual simulation) • Web Courses • Live Simulation • Virtual Simulation • Constructive Simulation • Audio/Video Teleconferencing • Audio/Video Tapes and CD-Rom

  11. Evaluation (1 of 3) Cost Advantages Categories Disadvantages Effectiveness Disadvantages

  12. Evaluation (2 of 3) Audio/Video Conferencing Live video and audio communication between three or more locations • Cost • Use of Government Satellites Expensive (SATCOM) • Effectiveness • Performance may be evaluated instantly by instructors • Advantages • Ability to give and receive feedback instantly • Disadvantages • Inconvenient – must have all parties available in different time zones

  13. Evaluation (3 of 3) Live Simulation A simulation involving real people operating real systems. • Cost: • Live ordnance and equipment replacements/maintenance • Effectiveness: • Performance may be evaluated instantly by onlookers only • Advantages: • Feel of real equipment within a battlefield • Disadvantages: • Simulations not comparable to foreign terrain where wars are fought

  14. Advanced Training Technologies Program (ATTP) (1 of 2) • Immersive training with all types of simulation is the most effective means of military training. • A combination of these methods through an advanced interactive simulation portal equipped on every M2C2 vehicle. • This portal will enable go-anywhere and just-in-time learning that will greatly improve efficiency and reliability on any battlefield.

  15. Advanced Training Technologies Program (ATTP) (2 of 2) • Computer-based • Incorporates all simulation types for maximum effectiveness • Dynamic – upgradeable (e.g. new maps and terrains)

  16. Proposal Mobile Modular Command Center (M2C2) Advanced Training Technologies Program Proposal (ATTP) July 20, 2005 Akimeka LLC 535 Lipoa Parkway, Suite 100 Kihei, Hawaii 96753 • Outlines the research we have done • Includes • Background • In-depth gap analysis • Analysis of training technologies • ATTP Idea and Implementation • Conclusion • Shows that the ATTP follows the U.S. Military’s move to digitization • Promotes advanced training in a swift and efficient manner

  17. Next Step • Presented to the Office of Naval Research and relative groups • Graded on: • Cost • Flexibility • Effectiveness • Ability to conquer gaps • A training program with some or all of our proposed attributes
