DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) Skilled Support Personnel play an integral role in any disaster response operation. However, several reports have found that our nation's SSP are inadequately trained to respond to incidents involving Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). These reports put forth dozens of recommendations for how to improve SSP training to prepare them for WMD events. One of the key recommendations was that SSP be cross-trained in the roles of first responders. Cross-training simultaneously achieves two goals: SSP will receive the same level of response training that first responders do, and SSP will be better able to effectively assist first responders during a response because they will have a better understanding of what first responders do. A report by the Federation of American Scientists found that new advanced training technologies are needed to meet the demands of WMD response training. To fill the training needs of the SSP, CHI Systems, Inc., The Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), and The National Center for Biodefense at George Mason University will rapidly develop and deploy VIGILANCE, a SCORM-compliant GB training application that will harness the power of existing gaming technologies to create a compelling and engaging training experience which will be both easy to distribute and update. When completed, VIGILANCE will provide cross-training to SSP by allowing them to play the role of a first responder who is responding to a WMD incident. VIGILANCE will have a highly realistic 3-D virtual world where SSP will act as first responders and work through scenarios based on the most current training requirements for first responders.

描述(由申请人提供) 熟练的支持人员在任何救灾行动中都发挥着不可或缺的作用。然而，几份报告发现，我国的特种部队没有得到足够的培训，无法应对涉及大规模毁灭性武器的事件。这些报告就如何改进SSP培训以使他们为大规模杀伤性武器活动做好准备提出了数十项建议。其中一个关键建议是对SSP进行交叉培训，使其发挥急救人员的作用。交叉培训同时实现两个目标：SSP将接受与急救员相同水平的反应培训，SSP将能够更有效地在应急期间协助第一反应者，因为他们将更好地了解第一反应者的工作。美国科学家联合会的一份报告发现，需要新的先进训练技术来满足大规模杀伤性武器反应训练的需求。为了满足SSP的培训需求，CHI系统公司、卡内基梅隆大学(CMU)的娱乐技术中心和乔治梅森大学的国家生物防御中心将迅速开发和部署Vigilance，这是一种符合SCORM的GB培训应用程序，它将利用现有游戏技术的力量来创建引人入胜的、易于分发和更新的培训体验。完成后，警戒将通过允许SSP扮演应对大规模杀伤性武器事件的第一反应者的角色，为SSP提供交叉培训。Vigilance将拥有一个高度逼真的3-D虚拟世界，SSP将在其中充当第一响应者，并根据第一响应者的最新培训要求完成各种场景。
