C²T²
Command Center Training Tool
MYMIC LLC has developed the Command Center Training Tool (C²T²) to assist the Virginia Port Authority (VPA) in developing and executing training for their dispatchers at their Port Command Center (PCC). The C²T² platform is a training management tool that allows VPA training managers to execute training events for port dispatchers, providing both initial and recurring/refresher training. C²T² provides leaders and training managers the means to rapidly create highly complex training exercises, execute those exercises with a minimum of training overhead, and conduct a comprehensive After Action Review (AAR). During execution of the training event, C²T² allows trainers to, in real time, monitor the performance of the training audience, adjust the exercise to meet training objectives, and take advantage of training opportunities. The C²T² approach supports real time training on any command center system that would otherwise be constrained by time and resources.
C²T² consists of four organizational features; training event creation, training event execution, after action review (AAR), and an administrative feature that allows training managers to better organize and track training events C²T² is currently in the final stages of development for VPA. The success of the system and the underlying ideas present a new and unique way to manage training events. The ability to rapidly create training exercises, monitor and adjust them on the fly, and track trainee performance for an immediate AAR produce a tool that is both robust and highly suited for training individuals who are required to make decisions in high stress environments. Additionally, the ability to include a collaborative component within C²T² enables future versions of the tool to support VPA or other users in developing training for larger audiences beyond dispatchers, i.e. the ability to create a training event that tests dispatchers, police responders, and other crisis managers within VPA. C²T² development is based on a Phase II Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) effort for the Air Force Research Lab's Human Effectiveness Directorate, Warfighter Readiness Research Division. The Phase II product, the Collaborative Management Environment for Team Training (CoMETT™), is the core of C²T².
