Complexity

Adaption

Tracking

Visibility

Allocation

Resource-heavy training and exercise design

Developing well-structured training and exercise plans that align with operational requirements is often complex and time-consuming, as it requires significant expertise and resources, particularly if done from scratch.

Over reliance on office type software

Using legacy office type software for exercise design and management is time consuming, inefficient, unreliable due to poor version control, and difficult to coherently manage, particularly for large-scale complex exercises.

Legacy training systems and data

Many militaries have procured a range of training systems from multiple suppliers over the years in order to address specific training needs, such as tactical effects or constructive simulators. All of these systems produce training data, but often because they are in different formats and standards, this valuable data is left underutilised. Getting the best out of disparate data sets requires duplication of manpower and analytic efforts and resources.

Complex coordination requirements

Coordinating participants, resources, and logistics across collective training and exercises requires precise management, which can be overwhelming without integrated support tools.

Adapting to dynamic conditions to steer exercise direction

To get the most from an exercise, Command often needs to adjust scenarios and tasks during an event in response to real-time developments. However, existing systems often lack the flexibility for these dynamic changes.

Tracking evaluation and performance

Assessing training outcomes is often hampered by disjointed systems that cannot communicate with one another, making it difficult to gauge effectiveness and implement performance-based improvements.

Poor exercise visibility

Information from exercises is often fragmented, making it difficult to get cohesive and thorough visibility, preventing effective use of insights for future planning.

Effectively allocating resources

Effectively managing resources such as personnel, equipment, and training sites is complex, particularly if you don’t have an overall perspective of upcoming planned events. This often leads to inefficiencies and conflicts that can impact the quality of an exercise.

How can Exonaut help you solve these challenges to increase readiness?

Integrated planning tools improve communication and collaboration

Exonaut centralises all planning elements supporting distributed teams and providing a unified system to visualise and coordinate participants, objectives, resources, MELMIL and logistics. This greatly reduces the risk of miscommunication and errors and promotes better communication and collaboration.

AI-supported exercise design reduces workload

AI assists the design of exercises, providing suggestions, and creating MELMIL objects to enhance the realism of training. Given the right guidance from a user, it can design exercises from scratch, saving planners significant time and effort.

Adaptive scenario management increases exercise impact

Commanders can modify training scenarios and objectives, easily adding injects in real-time, during an exercise, ensuring events remain relevant and effective. AI facilitates decision support by offering data-driven recommendations for scenario adjustments in line with training objectives.

Centralised data management improves objective decision making

Exercise data is consolidated centrally, providing a holistic view of the training process. This enables planners to conduct comprehensive analyses and extract valuable insights for objective decision-making, based on a single version of the truth.

Comprehensive performance tracking supports continuous improvement

The solution comes with built-in evaluation tools that enable comprehensive tracking of training performance, progression and risks. Automated data collection and integration support a cohesive assessment process, visualised in intuitive dashboards, allowing users to identify performance gaps and make improvements.

Resource allocation tools optimise planning and management

Exonaut offers visual tools for global and local resource allocation, helping planners manage personnel, equipment, training sites and more, efficiently. Automated alerts ensure that resources are used effectively, minimising conflicts and improving overall efficiency.
