Intelligent tactical engagement trainer

A simulation-based Computer Generated Force (CGF) system for tactical training in a training field comprising:

• a receiver that receives information on the training field;
• a database that stores a library of CGF behaviours for one or more robots in the training field;
• computer vision including one or more cameras and sensors on the one or more robots that sense one or more trainees and movement of the one or more trainees during training on the training field;
• a CGF module, coupled with the receiver and the database, that processes the information on the training field and selects a behaviour for each of the one or more robots in the training field from the library of CGF behaviours stored in the database;
• a controller, coupled with the CGF module, that sends commands based on the selected behaviours to the one or more robots in the training field;
• and
• a pedagogical engine that automatically changes behaviours of the one or more robots and difficulty levels for the trainees based on actions of the trainees detected by the computer vision during the training on the training field,
• wherein the information on the training field includes location of the one or more trainees and the commands include shooting the one or more trainees.

A method for conducting tactical training in a training field, comprising:

• receiving information on the training field;
• processing the information on the training field;
• selecting a behaviour for each of one or more robots in the training field from a library of CGF behaviours stored in a database;
• sending commands based on the selected behaviours to the one or more robots in the training field;
• sensing, with one or more cameras and sensors located on the one or more robots, one or more trainees and movement of the one or more trainees during training on the training field;
• and
• changing the selected behaviours of the one or more robots and difficulty levels for the trainees based on actions of the trainees detected by the one or more robots during the training on the training field;
• wherein the information on the training field includes location of one or more trainees and the commands include shooting the one or more trainees.
