Overview
• MT Continuum overview
• Application to other communities
• Project status
MT 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 ILEconformant 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 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 136compliant learning content
Project 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 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 Usage
(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/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
