TAC AIRBORNE CONTROL SYSTEM

Abstract

The Joint Terminal Control Training and Rehearsal System (JTC TRS) project, under the Tactical Airborne Control System, funds development necessary to provide a Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) capable, high-fidelity simulator for the Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC), Combat Control Team (CCT) and Air Support Operations Center (ASOC). JTC TRS provides development to network aircrew full mission trainers and mission training centers, as well as develops and integrates the ASOCs and Joint Theater Air to Ground Simulation System (JTAGSS) trainer for Joint Fires. JTAGSS is a continuation of the ASOC simulation trainer initially funded in 2009 and complements the JTC TRS trainer by providing a total air-ground constructive simulation environment for integrated networked training and mission rehearsal capability that will develop JTAC/CCT and ASOC/SOF C2 battlestaff skills. The JTC TRS Project provides research and development to facilitate interoperability with joint and sister Service air-ground simulation using industry standards. JTAGSS will provide the ASOC, SOF, and TACP with the vertical and horizontal C2 communications and coordination training and mission rehearsal required for mission effectiveness. The system will include a secure network connection, a constructive simulation environment generator with sharable databases, computer work stations that have synthetic reflex agent applications for every ASOC/SOF crew position, and an instructor/operator station. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year
