Overview

Open/Close

Now entering its fourth year, SMI’s Joint Forces Simulation and Training conference will discuss simulation training systems used globally by the armed forces. As an area with a wealth of opportunity for investment and the development of pioneering projects, our conference aims to cover the prevalent requirements and capabilities driving the marketplace.

The conference will be broken down into sessions, which will be grouped by themes accordingly. This year will feature presentations on allied cooperation, immersive environments and human simulation, physical combat training and distributed simulation. The presentations will be delivered by key military figures, leading academics and pioneering scientists. Surely a conference not to be missed!

15.50		How Simulations are Helping the Army as a Profession Dave Valcourt, Vice President, Will Interactive View Bio Leader development and the internalization of the Army as a Profession through the ranks continue as top priorities for the US Army. CAPE, the Center for the Army Profession and Ethic, has embraced the use of Virtual Experience Immersive Learning Simulation (VEILS) to deliver this training to the force. During this presentation we will demonstrate the pedagogy of VEILS and enable the audience to experience “A Special Trust”, the newest VEILS, targeting Stewardship of the Army as a Profession at the strategic leader level.

14.50		Physiologically Driven Robot Decision-Making Lauren Reinerman, Assistant Professor, University Of Central Florida View Bio Revolutionizing the method by which humans and robots communicate will enable effective and efficient cooperation for optimized mission performance. A direct input for implicit communication is that of human physiological response, measured using Electroencephalogram (EEG), Electrocardiogram (ECG), functional Near-Infrared (fNIR), Transcranial Doppler Sonography (TCD), and Eye Tracking, to cognitive or emotional state changes. Low, medium, and high workload profiles will be determined for creating a closed-loop system in which the robot's behaviour will adapt according to workload state needs.
