Air Warfare Training
Abstract
This project transitions new training system technologies for use in Naval Aviation training. Products from this effort are directly tied to the Navy and Marine Corps Aviation Simulation Master Plans (NASMP) and (MCASMP) ($479M), the MH-60R/S master plan, the F/A-18C-F Requirements Procurement Plan (RPP), the Multi-Mission Maritime Aircraft (MMA/P-8) program, and will support the development and design of future naval aviation training/mission rehearsal systems, (fixed and deployed). Tasks include: 1) Advanced training systems specification development to provide for common, modular, HLA-compliant, high fidelity Distributed Mission Training (DMT) and mission rehearsal capabilities, ashore and afloat. Technologies to be developed and interaged include: intelligent semi-automated forces technology, Advanced Net-ready weapons simulation, AA/A-G, weather server, common Mission Training Station (MTS) technologies, advanced visual-sensor technology, high-resolution helmet mounted, and/or flat panel displays, 20-20 visual acuity image generation, Navy portable source initiative (NPSI) common dataset technology, common software/date/database reuse technologies, advanced environmental effects modeling, fused radar/infra-red/electro-optic and acoustic sensor simulations, physics-based Infra Red (IR) stimulations; and final T&E within the ATTIF, NAWCAD, which is a man-in-the loop test bed for the integration of software, hardware, and operational equipment. This ATTIF capability provides a window to fleet aviators for critical comment, evaluation, and fine tuning of new, interoperable, and innovative technologies before final transition to the Fleet. Master Training Station (MTS), Debrief/AAR and intelligent trainfing support tools for the virtual environment are focused on human performance enhancements for Fleet readiness and distributed missions, training, all levels. Metrics - These technology transitions will both lower Total Ownership Costs (TOC) of the training systems, and life-cycle costs, including: visual system database re-use, reduced instructor manning profiles, software-based fidelity enhancements, and increased fleet readiness by enhancing overall system fidelity to the projected operating enrironments. NASMP / MCSMP readiness inprovements are conservatively forecast at 14-35% following associated technology upgrades to stand alone, or networked simulators. Individual technology transition investments have routinely exceeded 300+% financial Return on Investment (ROI). Technology readiness levels (TRLs), fleet readiness and financial metrics are used.
