Leveraging game-based technology for education and training solutions.
The Gaming Research Integration for Learning Laboratory®(GRILL®), under the Air Force Research Laboratory 711th Human Performance Wing, Airman Systems Directorate Warfighter Readiness Research Division, leverages commercial and government off-the-shelf gaming technologies for United States Air Force (USAF) education and training solutions.
Our vision for the GRILL® is to serve as a national authority on the integration and application of game based technology to address USAF education and training needs. Our mission is to conduct research and integration efforts using game-based technology to increase the operational efficiency and effectiveness of our airmen. In addition to leveraging off-the-shelf technology to benefit Warfighter training, our goal is to inspire student interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), specifically modeling and simulation (M&S), and to equip the next generation defense workforce.
