Cyber Training Environment
Abstract
Persistent Cyber Training Environment (PCTE) supports the United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) by enabling the critical need for the DoD Cyber Mission Force (CMF) to train at the individual, team, and force level. PCTE provides the DoD CMF with a standardized training capability that maximizes shared content across the Services. PCTE is able to emulates network environments and connects with other range environments and cyber training assets. The Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) was designated as the DoD Acquisition Lead for the PCTE, and the program is directed by the FY 2016 National Defense Authorization Act, Section 1645. The PCTE program achieved Milestone B on 6 December 2019, with the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) validation of the Information System - Capability Development Document (IS- CDD) on 4 November 2019. Through ongoing rapid prototyping efforts, the PCTE platform has fulfilled the critical need for a CMF standardized training capability upon release of PCTE Version 2 in Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2020 and continues to do so with ongoing version releases.
