Data tools for the Army Basic Training Environment

Leveraging previous efforts, Vadum will develop a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to track, manage and improve the performance of trainees in a Basic Combat Training (BCT) environment. The architecture is composed of a number of services: A data collection service logs trainee data (activity, location, performance) from Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) wearable sensors under a variety of training conditions. Services providing analysis and visualization at the level of an individual trainee, a platoon-sized group, or a large population are supported. The innovative representation of services developed by Vadum yields a multi-threaded high-performance SOA that is hierarchical and composable, providing extreme horizontal and vertical scalability.
