TAC AIRBORNE CONTROL SYSTEM

Abstract

The Joint Terminal Controll Training and Rehearsal System (JTC TRS) project under the Tactical Airborne Control System funds developments necessary to provide Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) capable high-fidelity Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC), and Combat Control Team (CCT) training and rehearsal system. Provides development funding to enable connectivity to DMO networks to allow geographically separated high-fidelity close air support platforms and JTACs/CCT teams to train together. Develops a system that will enable operators to conduct Joint Close Air Support (JCAS) training/mission rehearsal using tailored, dynamic scenarios that are relevant to mission tasking and capable of providing air traffic control training for CCT using tactical application of austere airbase operations. Using a system of systems approach JTC TRS provides incremental development to network in Increment 1 to aircrew full mission trainers and mission training centers, and by Increment 2, to Air Support Operations Centers (ASOCs) for Joint Tactical Air Strike Requests and air-ground coordination of Joint fires. Its primary focus is to provide a persistent total air-ground virtual training environment for networked air ground training and mission rehearsal capability that will develop both JTAC/CCT skills and train those air crews assigned to accomplish complex JCAS missions in close proximity to ground forces. Provides research and development to facilitate interoperability with joint/sister Service air ground simulation using industry standards. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development, because it updates and develops capabilities for current operational systems.
