At this year’s Military Simulation Training Summit in Orlando, Florida, one of the key topics will be the impact of AI on simulation training. Experts from across the US military and defense industry will converge in Orlando to discuss and share the latest developments and research in AI, including Dr. Keith Brawner from the Institute for Creative Technologies University Affiliated Research Center (ICT UARC).

Dr. Brawner serves as the AI Lead and Program Manager of the ICT UARC for US Army DEVCOM Soldier Center, on behalf of the Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering. In his career Dr. Brawner has served as a research leader in intelligent tutoring systems with over 100 publications in research/application of simulation and training technologies. In addition, he has worked on, or contributed to, systems which train land navigation, marksmanship, hovercraft operation, destroyer decision making, physics, UAV route planning, calling for indirect fires, submarine harbor navigation, sonar system operation, helicopter flight, counterinsurgency, and so many others. Before the Military Simulation Training industry converges in Orlando this February, IDGA sat down with Dr. Brawner to discuss the future of AI and synthetic modeling in military training.

Besides the use of AI in military training, the upcoming Military Simulation Training Summit will also explore interoperability, expansion, and implementation of military-simulated training, as well as a range of training types such as LVC, armored vehicles, and training procurement.
