FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
U.S. NAVY AWARDS CONTRACT TO STOTTLER HENKE TO PROTOTYPE AN INTELLIGENT
TUTORING SYSTEM FOR STRIKE FIGHTER PILOTS
Intelligent tutoring software will complement next
generation portable mission rehearsal systems, so pilots can
practice missions and receive automated instruction while
at sea.
SAN MATEO, CA, July 1, 2000 -- Stottler Henke Associates, Inc. today announced
the award of a six month $70,000 contract with the U.S. Navy to prototype an
intelligent tutoring system that automatically evaluates pilot performance and
provides instructional feedback after simulated missions. This prototype will
help the Navy assess the feasibility of implementing an air tactical ITS (ITS-AIR)
that complements next generation portable mission rehearsal systems deployed
at sea.
"Next generation portable mission rehearsal training systems will be aboard
aircraft carriers and used by pilots while at sea," says Dr. Daniel Fu, the
project's manager. However, if scarce and costly human instructors are required
to operate these new systems and provide instructional feedback to pilots, the
potential 'any-time, any-place' benefits offered by these systems will be significantly
reduced," continues Dr. Fu.
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.
