US NAVY APPROVES FINAL PHASE OF THE NEXT GENERATION MAINTENANCE TRAINER PROGRAM

Today, the Office of Naval Research and the Navy’s Center for Surface Combat Systems (CSCS) approved the final optional step in the Next Generation of Maintenance Trainer program.  The work to create a character-driven desktop training aid powered by a cutting-edge intelligent tutoring system (ITS) will culminate in a year-long effort touching on much of the Navy’s Gunner’s Mate course for the Mk45 MOD4 gun mount.  The final push includes extensive content development and the integration of the ITS with the front end application.  The project is poised for immediate transition to the Gun School in San Diego:  CSCS Detachment West.
