Introduction to Cervus
- We were formed in 2013
- We come from Force Development and Collective Training
Backgrounds
- We exploit military and security training data to provide our
customers with a comprehensive understanding of their
- perational performance.
- Using pioneering data capture systems, industry standard
analytics and secure data storage solutions, we provide services to exploit your training data.
The Collective Training System
- Environment System – what is
required to create the appropriate Environment
- Scenario System – what is
required to wrap around the environment with a logical and consistent scenario
- Capture System – what is
required to capture appropriate contextual data and performance data on the training subjects
- Analysis System – that which is
required to collate, analyse and manage data
- Exploitation System – what is
required to exploit the data for AAR and as long term actionable insights

Commander Force Development and Training (Comd FDT) July 2011
The central idea is unlocking power through applying a concept
- f exploitation [of] what we can
learn from current
- perations,
from
- ur
training and from experimentation within training.
Balancing Act
Training Experimentation
Focussed on the achievement of Collective Training Objectives (CTOs) Data capture typically to support an after action review Known costs and budgeted Limited opportunity for repeatability Focussed on the experimentation
- bjectives and
evidence Data capture to inform measures of performance / effectiveness Requiring repeatability Unknown costs and limited budget
Our Vision for Training Data Exploitation
Harvest All Data LVC and C2 Objective Data Intelligent Analysis Analytics Broad Utility
From selective data gathering to harvesting all data .
- The reduced cost, size and power consumption of
modern sensors, power storage technologies, communications systems and data storage devices means there is no longer a need to limit data gathering to small data sets.
- It is now technically possible to harvest and record
virtually all data, linked to all participants (BLUEFOR, OPFOR, wider COEFOR and
- bservers
themselves) associated with every training event: allowing for an exponentially richer training data set to mine and exploit – enabled by a “capture everything now, use anything later” approach.
From use of Live training data to the use of Live, Virtual, Constructive & Command data .
- Traditionally, the main focus for training data gathering has
been within the Live training environment, and then mostly positional and firing data. However, there is a plethora of wider useful training data that can be harvested: human biometrics; vehicle usage, performance and health; C4I (voice, data and meta-data); ISR; topographical and meteorological data to name but a few.
- Also
as the Live, Virtual and Constructive training environments continue to blend ever more seamlessly into a single synthetic training environment, there is an
- pportunity to draw (and merge) training data from each of
these synthetic domains to provide a far more holistic training data set to mine and exploit.
- Comms
data and HUMS are both undervalued and underused training data sources.
From primarily gathering subjective data to the harvesting of objective data .
- Whilst some limited objective data is currently gathered,
new and emerging technologies allow for the routine and automatic harvesting and storage of far more, and far wider, objective data sets.
- This will free the training observer to concentrate more
- n
expertise-based subjective
- bservation
but, as importantly, will provide a wealth of context within which to ultimately frame far more meaningful and useful insights from training.
From manual analysis to automated, intelligent (AI) analysis .
- The relentless development of ever-more ‘intelligent’
machines provides an exceptional opportunity to move rapidly away from the resource-heavy, time-consuming activity of manual data analysis to an automated – even intelligent – analytical approach.
- Self-adapting
algorithms, pattern recognition technologies and machine learning approaches now mean that the drawing of meaningful insights from masses of data is simple, time-efficient, ever-improving, self-teaching and increasingly affordable. The obstacles that the manual processing and analysis of large amounts of training data once presented are now easily surmountable.
From descriptive analysis to predictive & prescriptive analysis.
- This
machine learning capability now allows for a genuine step-change from purely Descriptive analytics (What has just happened? What is happening now?) to Predictive analytics (What is likely to happen next, based upon experience?) to Prescriptive analytics (What could/should be done about what is likely to happen next, so as to achieve a positive outcome?).
- From retrospective after-action consideration of training
data to real-time interpretation and understanding.
- From observed facts (pure data) to informed insights
(via analysed data in context).
- From simple observation of training, mostly after the
event, to helpful, proactive interventions during (and even before) training.
From limited to broad utility.
- By making use of open architectures and common
standards and modern cloud-based storage and processing technologies, the training data gathered, and the analysis drawn from it, will be of use not just to the immediate training community but also to individuals and the wider field army, force development, research, experimentation & acquisition communities – all of whom will be able to access the data they need whenever, and from wherever, necessary.
HIVE- a solution
- HIVE will be unparalleled in its adaptive ability to
harvest, categorise, store, and analyse data from collective training environments.
- More
than that, HIVE can deliver genuinely comprehensive and exploitable insights via its innovative machine learning engine and unique visual reporting systems: thus, allowing commanders to quickly spot and interpret trends from training, gain context-derived insights from them, and to rapidly and clearly identify
- pportunities for enhancements to warfighting.
- HIVE can truly build ‘winning foundations’.
Matthew Syed
You need judgement and creativity to determine how to find solutions to what the data is telling you, but those judgements, in turn, are tested as part of the next optimisation loop. Creativity not guided by a feedback mechanism is little more than white noise. Success is a complex interplay between creativity and measurement, the two operating together, the two sides of the optimisation loop.”
