OverviewOverview

• MT Continuum overview

• Application to other communities

• Project status

MT Continuum Prototype ProjectMT Continuum Prototype Project• Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) re-engineering 30+ week

training pipeline for TRIDENT Ballistic Submarine (SSBN) Missile Techs (MTs) into blended just-enough/just-in-time ILE-conformant Instructor Led (ILT) and self-paced segments

• AIM CPM and LO Module toolsets part of SSP’s baseline business process for this re-engineering

• First major end-to-end design, development, and maintenance project that’s defining CPM/LO Module business rules and data exchange mechanisms

• MT Continuum team:

– SSP / contractors - Requirements Owners– NAWCTSD / AIM team - CPM/LO Module support– LSI, Inc. - ISD and self-paced content design/development

Application to Other CommunitiesApplication to Other Communities• Based on NETC-mandated JDTA as fleet

performance requirement basis for learning content design and development

• Closely coordinated with NAVEDTRA 136 development

• NETC N7 staff recommended as “Poster Child” for ongoing NETC Continuum effort with all Centers

• Integrated development and maintenance environment for blended, SCORM and 136-compliant learning content

Project StatusProject Status• Plan, Analyze and Design Completed

– JDTA– Establishment of initial 3 major projects– Approval of revised 11-project structure

• Approval of learning objectives• Approval of ISD considerations elements

• Production Phase Kickoff Pending– Will be followed by export of 11 projects from

CPM to LO Module for production development in AIM I Rel 4.1 on fedsun

AIM Tool UsageAIM Tool Usage• Dedicated MT Continuum Prototype CPM and

AIM I Rel 4.1 instances hosted in Orlando

• Local AIM I Rel 4.1 instances running at GD-AIS Pittsfield (SMEs) and at LSI Jax (ISD/CD)

• Bi-directional data exchange between LO Module and LSI Venus.net LDC authoring toolset in place

• Excellent feedback from MT Continuum team on enhanced functionality and performance needed in CPM & LO Module

AIM Tool UsageAIM Tool Usage(contd)(contd)

• Status:– Per GD-AIS feedback, performance-enhanced

version of AIM I Rel 4.1 running locally in Pittsfield and Jax as well as on Orlando server

– Per GD-AIS feedback, significant enhancements made to AIM I Rel 4.1 storyboard functions/output

– Several additional enhancements recommended by GD-AIS incorporated into AIM I Rel 4.1 (Jan 11 delivery)

– AIM team resolved performance and reliability issues with Orlando fedsun Metaframe instance

Issues/ConcernsIssues/Concerns• “End to end” surveillance/maintenance test on

TLO/ELO in process to:– confirm existing change impact identification

functionality in CPM and LO Module

– identify near-term updates

– refine longer-term enhancements• Testing begun by Mark Campbell and Mike Lueken (LMMS) w/

favorable results• Identified critical issues addressed as part of AIM I Rel 4.1 and

5.0• Further testing surveillance testing on LDC is still required

and ongoing with Rel 4.1 by Jamie Swaim (CSF)• Team continues to refine versioning business rules/process
