Automated Creation of Multi-Media Training Material Navy SBIR FY2005.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2005.2 Topic No.: N05-090 Topic Title: Automated Creation of Multi-Media Training Material Proposal No.: N052-090-0403 Firm: Ontar Corporation 9 Village Way North Andover, Massachusetts 01845-2000 Contact: John Schroeder Phone: (978) 689-9622 Web Site: www.ontar.com Abstract: The technical objectives are based on, and guided by, those specified in the original SBIR solicitation, to "devise an innovative method for automating the production of system training materials." Ontar will specifically address the goals of "automated adaptation of this material to various media (audio/video, interactive simulation) and devices of varying sizes/resolution", automating the deployment and upgrade process, leveraging multi-media capabilities and integration of simulation capabilities within the context of an Advanced Distributed Learning training platform. We will build upon our existing TENOR ADL training system. During the Phase I and Phase II program, Ontar will build upon our existing TENOR system to build the TENOR-JSF (Joint Strike Fighter) training platform which will be designed to address many of the issues facing JSF and all other Navy tactical training operations. At the conclusion of the Phase I SBIR program, Ontar will deliver a hardware/software system solution to the Navy that will meet the needs of the F-35/Joint Strike Fighter and other training programs. Benefits: The TENOR-JSF system has an extremely large potential for commercialization. Applications include training for medical organizations such as hospitals, HMOs and emergency responders as well as a wide variety of other organizations such as call centers, technical support groups, automotive or aerospace maintenance companies, franchise food retailers, large sales organizations. Our commercialization strategy is being undertaken in cooperation with the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MTC). Discussions have been held with Mr. Robert G. Kispert, the Assistant Director for Federal Programs. Ontar has extensive experience commercializing DoD sponsored research. The TENOR system to be used in this program has been developed under various SBIR programs and is being used in a commercial online training venture, EOAnswers.com. Return
