SBIR/STTR Award attributes
Qualtech Systems, Inc. (QSI), Aptima, Inc., Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) and the Hess PHM Group have partnered, with QSI as the prime, to address the key objectives of this solicitation and provide MAINTOR, a robust, intuitive, versatile and flexible digital twin-driven maintenance training tool that include a rich, immersive and learning-science enabled user experience. MAINTOR is leveraging key technologies from QSI’s proven TEAMS® toolset for Guided Troubleshooting, Aptima’s expertise in human centered engineering design and human performance assessment, and HII’s subject matter expertise as the builder of the CVN-78 and CVN-79. As part of the Phase 2 effort, QSI is developing MAINTOR as an add-on module to QSI's TEAMS. The Plasma Arc Waste Destruction System (PAWDS) on the CVN-78 class is the initial target application of the proposed technology. QSI will develop the digital twin of that system with help from HII SMEs and utilize Aptima's expertise in Learning Science principles for incorporation into MAINTOR's maintenance training instructional approach as well as for learner performance assessment and tracking.
