ATC Services

Initial Training Analysis

Our training professionals conduct front-end analysis, needs/requirements assessments, capacity analysis, cost/benefit trade-offs, and return on investment analyses as appropriate. Along with our senior program management/acquisition personnel, they work closely with the customer to determine training requirements. They conduct training situation and requirements analyses and produce comprehensive reports to guide the customer through the process of deciding what trainers or training systems are appropriate and determining the scope and direction of their training programs. Our specialists perform capacity analyses to measure current, using the results to predict future network use and end-to-end delay times based on mapping workload and frequency functions to user applications. We also perform cost/benefit trade-off and return-on-investment analyses for training delivery methods, alternative distribution system architectures, and media and equipment considerations.

Simulators and Part Task Trainers

Our company supports the design of state-of-the-art training devices such as operation and maintenance trainers, flight procedure trainers, and various system simulators/stimulators that provide a realistic, high performance training environment. Supporting the full range of trainer systems development, our ATC training production facility is co-located with the Knowledge Engineering Group, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head, MD.

Electronic  Performance Support Systems

Our training professionals develop and integrate performance support tools for both learning and on-the-job environments. Solutions can range from heads-up displays to facilitate operations or maintenance procedures to computer-based assistance providing focused instruction, demonstration, practice, and testing in specific tasks.

Computer/Web Based Training

Our computer/Web-based training capabilities are specifically focused on Advanced Distributed Learning and Virtual Learning Technologies, including courseware development for interactive multimedia instruction. Our training professionals support the development of interactive courseware and computer-aided instruction using the most current version of Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) software tools such as Designer’s Edge, Macromedia Attain Suite, the Asymetrix-based ToolBook 7, and ICON Author. These tools are used to develop training materials in an “object-oriented” environment that supports Web/Internet-enabled training. Training materials can also be developed for use in a virtual learning environment (a virtual or “corporate” university) to provide specific employee training.
