Automated, embedded data collection, assessment, and integration capabilities are key requirements of an instructional framework to support performance evaluation and debrief of multiple teams participating in distributed simulation-based exercises. This paper discusses recent progress in the application of automated performance data collection and assessment capabilities as part of a prototype Debriefing Distributed Simulation-Based Exercises (DDSBE) system. The automated data collection process obtains data from local and distributed simulation systems and operator consoles to assess individual, team, and multi-team performance on training objectives during critical and key events. Performance is assessed at the multi-team, team, and individual levels as appropriate. Automated and observer-based semi-automated assessments are integrated into data products suitable for debrief development. Methods, products, and results from the research and development effort to date are discussed.
