The prestigious 3 day ITEC Conference will cover a comprehensive array of subjects including training solutions, systems, methodologies and procurement. |
“City” Total Representation for Training ForcesTheme Manager: Hervé Rochard, Head of Advanced Studies,
|
Training and Simulation for Civic EmergenciesTheme Manager: TBC
In this session you will gain an overview of the needs of the civic market for simulation and training to help plan and manage for emergencies and the consequences of unforeseen incidents; and to explore how planners and service providers can draw from the significant investment that has been made in the defence market into simulation, planning and training tools. |
Bringing M&S to the BattlefieldTheme Manager: Wim Huiskamp, Project Manager, Simulators, TNO FEL The Netherlands
Mission planning is becoming a complex and multifaceted challenge given the change in nature of contemporary operations. We have seen a shift from ‘kinetic’ to a more ‘comprehensive’ approach. This session will be addressing the use of M&S as a supporting tool in the long term mission planning process. |
Evaluation in the RoundTheme Manager: Al Thomas, Curriculum Development Programme Manager, Ascent Flight Training, UK
These two sessions will focus on ‘Evaluation in the Round, but concentrate on:
|
Training Maintainers Through LifeTheme Manager: Ulrich Fligge, Manager Training Systems and Training Technologies, EADS Deutschland GmbH Germany
|
Air Operations TrainingTheme Manager: Paul Bross, Senior Consultant, P Bross Enterprises, Germany
The 21st century will see more international assignments of joint forces in out-of-country air operations, which will also require to be increasingly network-enabled. Live-Virtual-Constructive integration and interoperability will play a major role in training simulations.

Modelling and Simulation-Other than TrainingTheme Manager: Jerry Stahl, Chemring North America Inc
The value that Modelling and Simulation (M&S) plays in supporting training and education is quite clear...many other ITEC themes highlight these contributions; but the applicability of M&S can and does go far beyond training. These M&S products and technologies cut across all functions of the military life cycle management process and have become extremely valuable decision-support tools. The purpose of this theme is to highlight these other M&S applications to the weapon system life cycle management model, which include but are not limited to the following areas:
Presentations at ITEC 2010, under this theme, will showcase these non-training applications of M&S, including ongoing activities and lessons learned. |
Simulation and Training for Medical and Casualty HandlingTheme Manager: David Rees, Senior Vice President Operations, SAIC
This theme addresses innovations in the simulation of, and training for, triage and treatment of medical trauma. The use of virtual environments, medical mannequins and live role players will be discussed along with the implication of integrating such tools into the wider training and readiness environment. |
Environment Representation and ModellingTheme Manager: Gilbert Castaner, Technical Director, Sogitec Industries
|
Cyber DefenceTheme Manager: Paul Newman
As digitised command and control systems and NEC become increasingly important in the contemporary operational environment. The defence of those systems is becoming more important both at home and when deployed. A number of Nations have already set up, or are in the process of establishing a cyber defence capability. These sessions will look at the ‘threat’, ‘impact’, education and training. |
Coalition and Combined TrainingTheme Manager: Major Ulf Jinnestrand, Director of Staff, Swedish Armed Forces HQ
Coalitions carry out combined and joint operations all around the world today. To support these pre-deployment training is a significant requirement to ensure mission success. This theme will not only highlight the challenges encountered but also address real operational training issues. |
Getting More For Less’ – Exploiting Human FactorsTheme Managers: Col (ret) Chris Caswell, British Army Recruiting SE and Prof Karen Carr, Director, Centre for Human Systems, Cranfield University
In the current economic climate, where cost effective learning is key, this theme will explore the integration of our understanding of people, how they behave and learn and the development of training systems. It will appeal to the designers of hard and soft systems in support of operational capability who want to enhance the performance of their products through understanding in depth of how to work with human strengths and weaknesses. How can we articulate better human-centred requirements so that systems deliver the correct performance by the war fighter? How can Systems Engineering address the cultural, social and behavioural dimensions of human behaviour? The theme will explore the discussions in cognitive science and advances in psychology that informs us about the role of the unconscious, about learning and the behaviour of trainees. Theme will also be covering the following sub-themes:
|
Counter Improvised Explosive Device TrainingTheme Manager: David Swift, Principal Psychologist,
|
Future Challenges in Training / Next generation WarfighterTheme Manager: Anne O’Reilly, Managing Director, Mabway Ltd
This theme aims to showcase new developments and ideas that fall outside the technology spectrums covered in the other themes. It takes a strategic view about the needs of the operational communities and looks ahead to what will become mainstream thought but is currently conceptual. It can also address those challenges driven by topical circumstances that have led to niche programmes that have a potential wider scope.
Previous speakers have address such topics as the analysis of human decision making, the application of risk modelling to training evaluation, the relevance of using subject matter experts in simulation procurement and how to adapt Training Needs Analysis to fit Urgent Operational Requirement procurements.

Military Transformation and its Inherent ChallengesTheme Manager - Harry Thompson, Vice President for Program Management, International Programs Business Manager, Alion Science and Technology, United States
|
Training In The Live Environment – Advances in Live trainingTeam Manager - Anders Jonzon, Manager, Comms & PR, Saab Training SystemsThe session is addressing current ideas and initiatives to develop the scope of live training. The presentations describe the advances that have been made to date in order to meet new environments and training objectives. |
