Values Akimeka was started with five principles in mind:
Ohana (family)
Lokahi (harmony)
Laulima (cooperation)
Ho'okipa (generosity)
Koa (courage of leadership)

(Multifunction Antenna and M2C2 Training
Program)
Project Background (2 of 3)
Primary Features:
An integrated multifunction
antenna
Advanced computer and
networking systems
Ability to be single lifted to a
combat region
Interoperability with existing U.S.
and foreign equipment
On-the-go and over-the-horizon
capabilities

Project Background (3 of 3)
Main Goals
Enhance situational awareness for Joint Early Entry Package (JEEP)
Improve command and control capabilities for on-site and off-shore
operators
Add additional support for the Command, Control, Communications,
and Computers (C4) architecture already used by military forces

Problem
Gaps in the U.S. Marine Field Radio Operator MOS (Marine Operational
Specialty) curriculum is not sufficient to operate the M2C2 efficiently
Additional training courses must be taken
The proposed training solution must be flexible enough to accommodate the
Marines and not the other way around
An Advanced Training Technology Program (ATTP) must be developed

Networking
Software
Objectives
Identify the gaps
Identify current and future training
technologies
Perform an analysis of data collected to
determine a new and innovative ATTP
Complete a proposal demonstrating ATTP
idea and implementation

Evaluation (2 of 3)
Audio/Video Conferencing
Live video and audio communication between three or more
locations
Cost
Use of Government Satellites Expensive (SATCOM)
Effectiveness
Performance may be evaluated instantly by instructors
Advantages
Ability to give and receive feedback instantly
Disadvantages
Inconvenient – must have all parties available in different time zones

Live Simulation
A simulation involving real people operating real systems.
Cost:
Live ordnance and equipment replacements/maintenance
Effectiveness:
Performance may be evaluated instantly by onlookers only
Advantages:
Feel of real equipment within a battlefield
Disadvantages:
Simulations not comparable to foreign terrain where wars are fought
Advanced Training Technologies Program
(ATTP) (1 of 2)
Immersive training with all types of simulation is the most effective means of
military training.
A combination of these methods through an advanced interactive simulation
portal equipped on every M2C2 vehicle.
This portal will enable go-anywhere and just-in-time learning that will greatly
improve efficiency and reliability on any battlefield.
Advanced Training Technologies Program
(ATTP) (2 of 2)
Computer-based
Incorporates all simulation types for
maximum effectiveness
Dynamic – upgradeable (e.g. new
maps and terrains)
