Non-System Training Devices - Eng Dev

Abstract

Program Element funds development of Non-System Training Devices to support force-on-force and force-on-target 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 and force-on-target at the National Training Center (NTC), Ft. Irwin, CA; Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC), Ft. Polk, LA, Joint Multinational Readiness Center (JMRC), Hohenfels, Germany; Home Stations and deployed locations around the world; 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. FY 2024 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), Future Army System of Integrated Targets (FASIT), Medical Simulation Training Center (MSTC), Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Swarm, Opposing Forces Mechanized Vehicle Replacement (OMVR), and the Live, Virtual, Constructive Integrating - Architecture (LVC-IA).

• Document Type: R2 Budgetary Justification
• Publication Date: Oct 01, 2024
• Source ID: 0604715A_5_2040_PB_2024
• Change Summary Explanation: FY2024 funding increase will be utilized for requirements analysis, initial prototype development and design, logistics planning and host chassis maintenance associated with the Opposing Forces Mechanized Vehicle Replacement (OMVR) program. Efforts will also include preparation of a contract package that will support the development, design, fabrication and testing and fielding of the OMVR Visual Modifications (VISMODS) to the CTCs. FY2024 Base dollars in the amount of $6.730 million is in support of the Pacific Deterrence Initiative. This is an increase from the FY2023 funding level, which had no request for PDI funding in program element 0604715A. This funding will be utilized for Low-Cost Threat Emitter (LCTE) Prototypes, integration of Multi-domain training and extension of the Combined Joint Systems Integration Lab (CJSIL) test floor.
