CAE RISE Data Analytics Supplement Kongsberg K-Sim Bridge Training

CAE has adapted its Real-time Insights and Standardized Evaluation (RISE) product to enhance naval training. CAE Rise is a data-driven training system that leverages big data analytics to make training more objective, efficient and effective. A proven training system with CAE's global civil and military aviation customers, CAE RISE measures trainee performance in a simulator against pre-defined standards. CAE Rise fosters student-centric learning, it reduces the instructor's assessment workload and provides objective real-time insights into student performance which can be used for more effective coaching during the lesson. The student benefits from more focused coaching and feedback tailored to their strengths and weaknesses. Analysis of results for multiple students and cohorts over time identifies opportunities for training continuous improvement. By interfacing CAE RISE to Kongsberg Digital's K-Sim Navigation (ship's bridge) simulator and defining relevant scenarios, CAE and Kongsberg Digital are optimizing training efficacy for bridge watchkeepers.

Land Vehicle Crew Training System (LVCTS) program

The Land Vehicle Crew Training System (LVCTS) program will be the most significant technological step forward in training ever implemented by the Canadian Army. Using a tightly integrated mix of high-fidelity full-motion simulators, medium-fidelity training devices with advanced imagery and representative equipment, and lower-fidelity part-task trainers, soldiers will learn to operate key vehicle driving and combat systems on the Leopard tank, Light Armoured Vehicle (LAV6), and Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle (TAPV) platforms. Training will take place in purpose-built facilities at up to five training locations across the country and will make provision not only for building individual driver and gunnery skills, but also for enhancing combat team operations, and joint force integration. Drawing upon its significant pedigree of supplying advanced simulation and training products and services to the Canadian Armed Forces and militaries around the world, CAE in company with its LVCTS team intends to offer a full suite of training technologies, including systems to streamline training preparation and delivery, options for reducing reliance on scarce line instructional personnel, and mature, proven technologies to dynamically adapt training delivery and content to Canadian Army soldier’s needs – including remotely or in austere locations where supplemental or mission-specific training is required.
