Consolidated Trng Sys Dev

Abstract

0604 - Training Range and Instrumentation Development project develops specialized instrumentations for fleet readiness training while minimizing life cycle costs. Tasks include development of the following: Large Area Tracking Range improvements, technology improvements for fixed and portable Anti-Submarine Warfare training ranges, and Tactical Training Range (TTR) infrastructure improvements to include: the Joint Display Subsystem, Radar Acquisition Display Subsystem, Electronic Warfare server, Link 16 interface, TTR rotary platform technology improvements and the Radiant Mercury Cross Domain Solution. 1427 - Surface Tactical Team Trainer (STTT) develops modifications during sustainment of Battle Force Tactical Training (BFTT) system. This is required to maintain capabilities and interfaces to provide realistic combat system coordinated team, unit and Fleet Synthetic Training (FST) collective Group/Force level training events. In addition, BFTT supports the embedded trainer "family of systems" approach for the development of a Total Ship Training Capability (TSTC). Specific improvements include improved integration with the Navy Continuous Training Environment (NCTE) and development of a High Level Architecture (HLA) capable, integrated shipboard network to meet increasing Commander Naval Surface Forces (CNSF) and United States Fleet Forces Command (USFFC) FST requirements. The need for transforming training is documented within the DoD Training Transformation Plan, the Chief of Naval Operations Fleet Response Plan and Commander United States Fleet Forces Command Fleet Readiness Training Plan. 2124 - Air Warfare Training Development (AWTD) provides for risk mitigation and next generation platform, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), Live Virtual Constructive (LVC) and associated visualization component development for distributed mission training, and for stand-alone and small footprint deployable devices. Support the Navy Aviation Simulation Master Plan (NASMP) upgrade efforts and Type/Model/Series programs with advanced visual system display configurations requirements. Provide for Open Architecture (OA), and common systems interface applications. Assess trainee cognitive requirements and the development and incorporation of next generation LVC, UAS constructive and associated visualization component technologies. Additionally, AWTD provides for advanced virtual component fidelity improvements for LVC capability which includes the "Mobility" Part-Task Trainers and the Multiplex Data Bus Controller Translator Transmitter enabling technologies. LVC technologies will facilitate advanced, cost effective weapons and tactics training and emerging capability requirements in the Air-Sea Battle Space and Naval Integrated Fire Control-Counter Air capabilities development. 3093: The Tactical Combat Training System (TCTS) Increment II will provide an improved environment for air combat training utilizing a secure air-to-air and air-to-ground datalink, and will provide rangeless operation capability to Forward Deployed Naval Forces (FDNF). TCTS Inc II will provide encryption and an enhanced threat environment, as well as airborne participant instrumentation for multiple fixed and rotary wing platforms. FY18 represents a full year of engineering, manufacturing and development (EMD) for the program, which justifies the current control. The program's Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and Critical Design Review (CDR) will be completed in FY18. Both are major required Systems Engineering Technical Review (SETR) events and MDA/ASN(RD&A) knowledge points. FY18 funding will complete tasking necessary to prepare for Engineering Development Model (EDM) fabrication to begin in 1Q FY19. This schedule is necessary to support the MS C timeline and to meet the Fleet IOC need date of 2Q FY22 in order to address critical OPSEC concerns. 3356- Funds high fidelity Aegis Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) individual, instructor, strike group and team trainers for all Advanced Capability Build (ACB) and below Aegis baselines. This line also provides funds for the research and development of advanced technologies to support BMD 5.XX and Command, Control, Communication, Computer, and Intelligence (C4I) advanced technology upgrades to Aegis BMD Ashore Team Trainer at CSCS Unit Dam Neck. This line supports Surface Training Advanced Virtual Environment (STAVE) methodology by researching and developing trainers that will create an immersive and interactive learning environment and support both CNO High Velocity Learning and Ready Relevant Learning intent. JUSTIFICATON FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under Operational Systems Development because it includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.

Change Summary Explanation
The FY 2018 funding request was also reduced by $3.946 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. 0604: FY18 reduced $3.946M due to Program Element (PE) prior year under execution. Scheduled 6.2 upgrade for FY18 have been changed to FY19. 6.6 upgrade removed from schedule to be planned for FY23. TTR 2018.1 and 2018.2 upgrade removed from system Development and Delivery schedule. Next Gen Phase 3 changed from FY18 to FY19, and Next Gen Phase 7 removed from current schedule, to be planned for System development and Delivery for FY23. 3093: Cost growth in FY18 from previous submission due to revised government Life Cycle Cost Estimate (LCCE). The revised LCCE supports the contract awarded in March 2017. Areas of cost growth include increased hardware development costs based on adjustments to the ground station necessary to account for a shipboard variant; additional Software Lines of Code (SLOC) due to implementation of an open systems architecture and limitations on reuse of legacy proprietary software code, and an increase due to systems engineering/ program management (SEPM) labor costs required to mature and integrate system components. Cost growth funded via prioritization within aviation training and range programs.
