Aptima Announces Technology Demonstrations, Focus Events, and Paper Presentations at I/ITSEC 2019

From Tool to Teammate: Building Human-AI Teams. Visit Aptima to learn how AI is revolutionizing how we learn, train, and work

Woburn, MA & Orlando, FL – November 25, 2019 – Aptima, the leader in optimizing human performance to ensure that training leads to quantifiable improvements in training and readiness, will be demonstrating its AI-enabled technologies at I/ITSEC 2019. I/ITSEC, the world’s largest modeling, simulation and training conference, will be held December 2-3, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL.

I/ITSEC Attendees and Media are encouraged to attend the following.

Technology Demonstrations

Booth #2401 – Aptima – Optimizing training and performance in the Age of Human-AI teams. The third wave of Artificial Intelligence—or AI—is revolutionizing the way we learn, train, and work, and Aptima is leading the way.

• AI-powered Precision Learning Systems for Existing Sims and Legacy Programs: To deliver precision learning, Aptima’s AI-enabled training solutions make sense of large data sets to understand organizational and mission needs, and assess the learner’s current state, as well as measure how skills and knowledge evolve.
• Human-AI Collaboration for Improving Team Performance: To optimize human-AI team performance, Aptima’s solutions embed AI as a teammate to observe, listen, assist, and coordinate—as a trainer, trainee, or classmate—through naturalistic, intuitive user interactions, in combination with context-aware analytics of user goals and mission data.
• AI-enabled Sensor Technologies for Continuous Feedback and Improvement: To increase readiness, Aptima’s AI-enhanced situation awareness platform remotely monitors worker health, safety, and performance in physically challenging work environments.
• AI Panelist for Discussing and Building the Future of Training and Education: Meet Charlie, the world’s first AI-empowered panelist that has been built on cutting edge technology, trained on I/ITSEC publications, and designed to add new ideas to the “Imagine 2030” panel discussion, as well as answer your questions in the Aptima booth.

Booth #1533 – US Air Force – The Not So Grand Challenge: Agent development is lengthy and expensive, agents are typically brittle, and they rarely generalize to new tactical settings or simulations. Under the auspices of the 711th Human Performance Wing, Warfigher Readiness Research Division, Aptima is leading eight American computational modeling companies in the design of red air agents, a testbed, and requirements for future training and operational systems.

Booth #249 – US Navy – Team-based Advanced Resilience Accelerator: This tablet-based performance assessment tool allows submarine watch teams to optimize the development of resilient team skills that are critical to submarine tactical teams while minimizing the demand on instructors.
