Non-System Training Devices - Eng Dev

Abstract

Program Element funds development of Non-System Training Devices to support force-on-force training at the Combat Training Centers (CTC), general military training, and training on more than one item/system, as compared with system devices which are developed in support of a specific item/weapon system. Army training devices and training simulations contribute to the modernization of the forces by enabling readiness and strengthening combat effectiveness through realistic training solutions for the Warfighter. Training devices maximize the transfer of knowledge, skills, and experience from the training situation to a combat situation. Force-on-force training at the National Training Center (NTC), Ft. Irwin, CA; Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC), Ft. Polk, LA, and Joint Multinational Readiness Center (JMRC), formerly the Combat Maneuver Training Center (CMTC), Hohenfels, Germany; and battle staff training in Battle Command Training Program (BCTP) provide increased combat readiness through realistic collective training in low, mid, and high intensity scenarios. Project 241, Non-System Training Devices-Combined Arms, develops simulation training devices for Army-wide use, including the CTCs. Project 573 funds key organizational support to Army/DoD Transformation via innovative simulation and training device efforts. Program Executive Office (PEO) Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (STRI's) unique geographic co-location with other services facilitates joint training solutions in a common environment. FY 2018 Project 241 funds significant development efforts in support of U.S. Army Training and Readiness on the Combat Training Center Instrumentation Systems (CTC-IS), Instrumentable-Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (I-MILES), Home Station Instrumentation Training System (HITS), Common Training Instrumentation Architecture (CTIA), Target Modernization, Medical Simulation Training Center (MSTC), Live, Virtual, Constructive Integrating Architecture (LVC-IA), OPFOR Integrated Air Defense System (IADS), Soldier Virtual Trainer Program (SVT) New Start, Digital Range Training System (DRTS) New Start, and Soldier Fitness and Suicide Prevention. FY 2018 Project 573 is the first year that realigns Government authorizations and associated funding to an Army Management Headquarter Account (AMHA), which zeroed out the funding in FY 2018. This was done in accordance with a Program Decision Memorandum.

• Document Type: R2 Budgetary Justification
• Publication Date: Oct 01, 2018
• Source ID: 0604715A_5_2040_PB_2018
• Change Summary Explanation: The FY 2017 Request for Additional Appropriations included an increase of $5.000M to meet urgent requirements to develop, produce, procure, and integrate critical Combat Training Center (CTC) Opposing Forces (OPFOR) Integrated Air Defense System (IADS) capabilities to replicate threats in accordance with the Army Operating Concept (AOC). This is a NEW START. The FY 2018 delta is due to increases in Project 241 for OPFOR Integrated Air Defense System (IADS) and Digital Range Training System (DRTS) from Modernize the Army Package A, and Project 573 was zeroed out to realign the Government authorizations and associated funding to an Army Management Headquarter Account.
