To complement capabilities of future autonomous systems, the Air Force requires interoperable tools & methodologies to design, verify, validate, assess & operate human-machine system interactions associated with autonomous and manned systems integration. Often the human performance measures and status of each simulation is reported independently making it challenging to analyze the data. What is needed is an approach that has the ability to interface with multiple sources of data from these simulations, aggregate and display them in a common display picture for real-time status and after action review (AAR). Building upon the team’s current research into creating a common interface with the capability to process and visualize data from multiple sources and Perduco’s ongoing research into an open architecture data structure for the gathering, aggregating, storing, analysis, and reporting of human performance data. The Perduco Group has teamed with the Charles Draper Laboratory to demonstrate a front end visualization and data storage methodology to interface with the simulation analytics. This program will demonstrate a methodology and architecture with the capability to receive, store, analyze, and visualize simulation data.

Benefits:
The most applicable market and commercial application is in aviation simulation and training. The need that this will address is the ability to collect and store performance data from multiple simulators/inputs in a single system for analysis and reporting.

Keywords:
simulation, training, analytics, visualization, database, aggregation

The ability to enable and streamline a multi-domain data interface between user and M&S tools is needed to allow for rapid access to reliable, trustworthy data for immediate use by the analytical community. Providing a common framework for this interface, regardless of the tool resolution level, can be instrumental in advancing the use of MS&A within this complicated multi-domain problem space. The process for sharing data within the MS&A ecosystem should be implemented in a consistent manner without barriers due to user limitations and difficulties in gaining needed data for their efforts. Several benefits will result from employing a common MDI for use within the MS&A environment: 1. Efficiency & Reliability, 2. Consistency, 3. Knowledge Transfer, 4. Evolution
