We are living in an era in which the need to train and aid people is becoming paramount due to ever increasing job and task complexities. Despite this recognition, the aiding and training of individuals and teams has not kept pace with the times. Furthermore, even though aiding and training are complementary approaches to enhancing human performance, they have largely been pursued separately. Today, there is a growing recognition that aiding and training are not distinct approaches but, in fact, lie along a human‐systems integration continuum. This paper presents a systems approach to developing standards‐compliant, integrated aiding‐training framework that is potentially generalizable to other application domains. The framework employs key architectural constructs such as dynamic content provisioning and service‐oriented architecture to achieve seamless shifts along the aiding‐training continuum. The key benefits of the aiding‐training architectural framework are improved human performance in a variety of operational contexts. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Syst Eng 14: 129–140, 2011
