Air Warfare Training

Abstract

MISSION: This project transitions new training and range system technologies for use in Naval Aviation training. Products from this effort are directly tied to the Navy Aviation Simulation Master Plan (NASMP), MH-60R/S master plan, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) master plan, the PMA-205 Strategic Plan, the Live Virtual Constructive (LVC) program, component technologies, including the Multiplex Data Bus Controller Translator Transmitter, F/A-18C-F Requirements Procurement Plan (RPP), open architecture implementation, multiple technology refresh efforts and the Multi-Mission Maritime Aircraft/P-8 programs. These efforts will support training optimization of future naval aviation training/preview/mission rehearsal systems (fixed, deployed, and unmanned). Tasks include: specification development to provide for common, modular, High Level Architecture compliant, high fidelity Distributed Mission Training and mission rehearsal capabilities ashore and afloat. Technologies to be developed and integrated include: intelligent semi-automated forces (SAF) technologies, automated performance measurement technology, advanced net-ready weapons simulation, Air to Air/Air to Ground, visual/sensor enhancement, common post mission assessment technologies, tablet mission preview technology, advanced visual-sensor technology, high resolution helmet mounted, and/or flat panel displays, 20-20 visual acuity image generation, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR) technology, NAVAIR Portable Source Initiative improvements, common correlated data set technologies and heterogeneous data fusion, common link, common software/database reuse technologies, advanced environmental effects modeling, fused radar/infra-red/electro-optic and acoustic sensor simulations, aerodynamic modeling, physics-based infra-red simulations, spatial disorientation and simulator sickness research, communications degradation modeling, and final Test and Evaluation (T&E) within the Aviation Training Technology Integration Facility (ATTIF), Naval Air Warfare Center-Aircraft Division. This Manned-Flight Simulator (MFS) ATTIF capability provides a window to fleet aviators for critical comment, evaluation and fine tuning of new, interoperable, and innovative technologies such as LVC before final transition to the fleet. Naval Aviation Distributed Training Center, debrief/After Action Review (AAR), and intelligent training tools for the virtual environment are focused on human performance and trend analysis enhancements for fleet readiness and distributed mission training at all levels. Funds the continued development and maturation of the Joint Simulation Environment (JSE) physics-based environment and core services. Funds the Global Reusable Interface Domain (GRID), which serves up the electromagnetic spectrum and interactions between all entities, and other common services (weather, cyber, endgame, etc.). Funds the integration of new threats into the common JSE baseline. This includes incorporating new threats in Next Generation Threat System (NGTS), as well as integrating high fidelity threat models provided by Intelligence Community partners. Funds the engineering support for new capability requirements analysis and design. This includes Model-Based Systems Engineering initiatives, providing a foundation for a common DoD solution and enabling rapid impact analysis when assessing new requirements, capability insertion, and regression testing needs.
