Whats the challenge that DARWARS is addressing?
The next generation of training systems will be accessible from PC’s all over the world and will allow any number of students to practice together in the same simulated training environment. The DARPA DARWARS project is addressing many of the underlying conceptual and infrastructure problems that must be solved before these systems can be deployed. One set of challenges are pedagogical, such as how to map students’ training objectives to experiential training events, and how to combine these objectives with teams or teams of teams. Another set is technical, such as how to distribute software in real time over a wide range of environments. A final set of challenges are community-based, such as how to create a manageable system that allows individuals to contribute their experiences to the wider training community.
