Performance and Readiness Optimizing Platform and Ecosystem for Learning

Precision Training for Optimal Readiness

The U.S. military faces ever-evolving challenges in preparing warfighters to meet complex operational demands with precision and agility.

Traditional training methods often fall short in adapting to the unique needs and varying skill levels of individuals, which can lead to inefficiencies and missed opportunities for development. Additionally, the ability to accurately assess and measure performance across multiple domains—whether in live environments, simulators, or real-world operations—remains a critical need.

PROPEL™ addresses these challenges by providing a data-driven, adaptive platform that enhances performance, accelerates learning, and optimizes readiness across diverse training environments. This cutting-edge platform ingests and assesses performance data from both observer-based and simulator-based training environments, using advanced algorithms to deliver personalized and tailored training recommendations at scale.

Performance-Focused, Individualized Training Solution

Performance-Based Recommendations

Adaptive algorithms recommend more challenging scenarios based on trainee mastery, keeping them in an optimal learning zone.

Overlearning Recommendations

Repetition guidance maximizes skill retention, adjusting based on practice progress to solidify long-term memory.

Skill Acquisition insights and Decay Projections

Models predict skill decline over time and allow adjustments to practice schedules for optimal retention within practical constraints.

Training Effectiveness Insights

Supports Level 2 and Level 3 training effectiveness insights through visualizing the connection between classroom and on-the-job performance..

Competency-Agnostic Performance Mapping

Flexible mapping framework displays performance across multiple competency models, highlighting strengths and growth areas.

Holistic Performance Assessment

Combines observer and real-time data for a comprehensive view of performance across key skills and competencies.

Multi-Level Insights

Enables data visualization from individual to group levels, with group comparisons for deeper readiness analysis.

Personalized Learning Paths

Insights drive tailored training paths, ensuring efficient, timely learning to accelerate skill acquisition.

Applications and Impact

PROPEL, is currently deployed in diverse environments, from advanced training facilities to field operations, some of which are described below.

Aegis Training and Readiness Center (ATRC) Aegis Tactical Action Officer (ATAO) Course: PROPEL for ATAO captures and analyzes observer-based trainee performance data to drive tailored performance-driven recommendations about the optimal complexity of the next scenario to keep trainees in their zone of proximal development. These data driven recommendations are paired with a compelling after-action review (AAR) tool to allow instructors to provide easy-to-understand visualizations of a trainee’s performance immediately following a scenario.

Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) Multipurpose Reconfigurable Training System (MRTS)-3D: PROPEL for MRTS 3D provides intelligent recommendations and projected skill decay models, based on continuous and holistic performance assessment, to help maximize trainee skill retention beyond training.

Advanced Training Facilities and Field Operations: PROPEL has been deployed in various military training environments, providing mission rehearsal tools, on-the-job performance aids, and adaptive learning solutions to ensure that warfighters receive the necessary training when and where they need it.
