San Mateo, Spanish for St. , Calif. -- Software Firm to Develop Automated Evaluation System for Simulation-Based Combined Arms Combined arms is an approach to warfare which seeks to integrate different arms of a military to achieve mutually complementary effects. Though the lower-echelon units of a combined arms team may be of homogeneous types, a balanced mixture of such units are combined into an Training Stottler Henke Associates Stottler Henke Associates, Inc., founded in 1988, is a company headquartered in San Mateo, California that provides corporate and educational software solutions using applied artificial intelligence.

n. 1. The act or process of debriefing or of being debriefed. 2. The information imparted during the process of being debriefed. Noun 1. . AAIRS represents an unprecedented level of automation for military simulated scenario training. AAIRS multiplies the effectiveness of the instructors in training the critical task of combined arms, the art of integrating and deconflicting different types of weapons fire (artillery, air-delivered munitions mu·ni·tion n.

Often used in the plural. tr.v. mu·ni·tioned, mu·ni·tion·ing, mu·ni·tions To supply with munitions. , main tank rounds, etc.) to maximize their effect on the enemy while preserving the safety of our own troops. For example, aircraft delivering munitions must stay outside the minimum safe distance of artillery shells detonating det·o·nate intr. & tr.v. det·o·nat·ed, det·o·nat·ing, det·o·nates To explode or cause to explode.

AAIRS capabilities will be a component of the Combined Arms Command and Control Trainer Upgrade System (CACCTUS CACCTUS Combined Arms Command and Control Training Upgrade Systems project ), that will rely upon the OneSAF Objective System (OOS OOS occupational overuse syndrome: pain caused by repeated awkward movements while at work ), a simulation engine and other components of CACCTUS product, according to Nancy Harmon, Program Officer for the Marine Corps Systems Command Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) is located at MCB Quantico. Mission Serve as the Commandant's principal agent for acquisition and sustainment of systems and equipment used by the operating forces to accomplish their warfighting mission. , Project Management Training Systems. "AAIRS will provide a robust after action capability that does not exist today," Harmon said. AAIRS will monitor and evaluate the execution of exercise scenarios in the CACCTUS system, and issue alerts to instructors when possible errors are identified, such as conflicts that might result in "friendly fire" accidents or communication and coordination errors. AAIRS will also provide tools to assist with the construction of After Action Review briefings, including an explanation capability that will describe the communication and coordination errors that led to a mistake. "The AAIRS project represents a perfect fit for Stottler Henke's technology expertise and simulation-based military training systems development experience," Richard Stottler, president of Stottler Henke Associates, said. "It builds on the success of the previous CAST UP prototypes, Stottler Henke's vast experience using Intelligent Tutoring Systems for real-world applications, and our SimBionic intelligent behavior creation tool." Within AAIRS, SimBionic intelligent behaviors are used to spot errors in coordination and communication, to determine what communication and coordination errors and factors contributed to discovered conflicts, and to determine which individuals and groups should receive which information during the after action review. Founded in 1988, Stottler Henke Associates, Inc. applies artificial intelligence and other advanced software technologies to solve problems that defy solution using traditional approaches. The company delivers intelligent software solutions for education and training, planning and scheduling, knowledge management and discovery, decision support, and software development. Stottler Henke's clients include manufacturers, retailers, educational media companies and government agencies. Stottler Henke was named one of the "top 100" companies making a significant impact on the military training industry in 2003 by Military Training Technology magazine. Email: info@stottlerhenke.com.
