Joint Technology Center System Integration
Abstract
The Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Joint Technology Center/System Integration Laboratory (JTC/SIL) is a Joint facility that develops, integrates, and supports the enhancement of its Multiple Unified Simulation Environment (MUSE) capability for Army systems and operational concepts. The JTC/SIL conducts prototype hardware and software development, builds the UAS Institutional Mission Simulator (IMS) trainers for the Shadow, Hunter, and Gray Eagle programs, and provides modeling and simulation support. The MUSE is a real-time, operator in-the-loop simulation that may be integrated with larger simulations in support of Army and Joint training exercises. The MUSE is also employed as a Mission Rehearsal Tool for ongoing combat operations. This project funds the management of the JTC/SIL and MUSE enhancements. This system supports the Legacy to Objective transition path of the Transformation Campaign Plan (TCP). Continued integration of Night Vision Image Generator (NVIG) into the Modeling & Simulation domain as it pertains to UAS simulation. Terrain, and model development for NVIG and Virtual Reality Scene Generator (VRSG) to increase fidelity. Support of theater level Exercises, Ulchi Freedom Guardian (UFG), Yama Sakura (YS) and Key Resolve (KR). Improvement of mapping capability for mission planning. Redesign of Windows Entity Server (WES) and NetLink to improve network routing, thus lessening bandwidth consumption. Incorporation of Common Image Generator Interface to provide an Image Generator (IG) agnostic solution thereby allowing for other IGs to be supported that are currently not supported. Continued implementation of tactical protocols into the simulation domain to enhance interoperability. Development of a Heads Up Display (HUD) designer application that will allow for the creation and modification of HUDs without having to touch the software baseline thereby reducing costs and increasing fidelity and speed of solution in theater. Redesign of generic 6 Degree of Freedom (DoF) application that will allow for creation of new platforms without touching code; again a reduction in costs and increased solution delivery speed.
