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 Aviation Simulation Master Plan (NASMP), NASMP technology upgrades, MH-60R/S master plan, F/A-18C-F Requirements Procurement Plan (RPP), Multi-Mission Maritime Aircraft (MMA/P-8) program will support the development and design of future naval aviation training/mission rehearsal systems (fixed, deployed and unmanned). Tasks include: Advanced training systems specification development to provide for common, modular, HLA-compliant, high fidelity Distributed Mission Training (DMT) and mission rehearsal capabilites ashore and afloat. Technologies to be developed and integrated include: intelligent semi-automated forces technologies, automated performance measurement technology, advanced net-ready weapons simulation, Air to Air/Air to Ground (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 correlated data set technologies, common software/database reuse technologies, advanced environmental effects modeling, fused radar/infra-red/electro-optic and acoustic sensor simulations, physics-based infra-red simulations and final T&E within the Aviation Training Technology Integration Facility (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. MTS, debrief/After Action Review (AAR) and intelligent training tools for the virtual environment are focused on human performance enhancements for fleet readiness and distributed mission training at all levels. Metrics: These technology transitions will both lower Total Ownership Costs (TOC) of the training systems and life cycle costs, including: increasing 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 environments. NASMP readiness improvements are conservatively forecasted at 12-35% 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 (TRL), fleet readiness and financial metrics are used.
