Abstract
We built and demonstrated a system that augments instructors’ sensing abilities
and augments their cognition through analysis and filtering of visual information.
Called BASE-IT, our system helps US Marine instructors provide excellent
training despite the challenging environment, hundreds of trainees and high
trainee-to-instructor ratios, non-stop action, and diverse training objectives. To
accomplish these objectives, BASE-IT widens the sensory input in multiple
dimensions and filters relevant information: BASE-IT a) establishes omnipresence
in a large training area, b) supplies continuous evaluation during multi-day
training, c) pays specific attention to every individual, d) is specially equipped
to identify dangerous situations, and e) maintains virtual vantage points for
improved situational awareness. BASE-IT also augments and personalizes the
after-action review information available to trainees.
This paper focuses on the automated data analysis component, how it supplements
the information available to instructors, and how it facilitates understanding
of individual and team performances on the training range.
