Military Training Simulation Software

Aptima, Inc., Woburn, MA, has announced the DDD 4.0 desktop simulation software for training military and civilian teams. DDD can model a range of environments, including AWACS air battle management, civilian disaster response, search and rescue, Joint Task Force command decision-making, and business management. DDD can simulate the group dynamics and interactions of teams operating in situations where personnel need to coordinate around time-sensitive tasks.

Embedded within DDD are tools that capture and quantify team performance to help team members improve their skills and help planners increase mission effectiveness. As a networked application, DDD lets geographically distributed team members interact as if they were all in the same location.

DD supports training and rehearsal applications in a variety of domains. The US Air Force uses DDD to train networked teams in Air Operations Centers, preparing them to track, fix, and organize strikes on enemy targets.

The software gives users the ability to create and modify their own virtual environments and operating scenarios. Mission planners, trainers, and researchers can modify operational roles, mission resources — such as weapons, fuel, and troop strength — and objectives to simulate realistic team activities.
