Full Combat Mission Training

Abstract

Full Combat Mission Training (FCMT) supports Air Force Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) and Live-Virtual-Constructive (LVC) integration. DMO is an operational readiness initiative enabling the USAF to exercise and train at the operational and strategic levels of war while facilitating unit-level training. Networked LVC components form the integrated DMO battlespace by linking geographically distributed high fidelity combat and combat support training devices, including Command and Control (C2) and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems. Project 655012, FCMT, efforts are focused on development, demonstration, and transitioning of critical functions associated with the DMO/LVC network and linked simulators. Project 655354, F-16 Block 40/50 Mission Training Center (MTC), efforts are focused on development and demonstration of the F-16 Block 40/50 MTC. Funds will be used to provide capability upgrades such as concurrent OFP software development. In addition, funds may be used to address emerging and short-notice Diminishing Manufacturing and Material Shortage (DMSMS) issues. DMS efforts to include removal of end-of-life software/hardware within simulators systems and move to a modular, common open system architecture that is sustainable and cyber-resilient. Implement requirements and standards defined under the Simulator Common Architecture Requirements and Standards (SCARS) initiative. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at enhancing F-16 MTC units.
