NSTD COMBINED ARMS
Abstract
This project supports development of prototype training devices to support Combined Arms (Infantry, Armor, Aviation, Air Defense, Artillery, Engineer, Chemical, and Support troops) training and multi-system training within the Army, to include the Reserve Components. Live Tactical Engagement Simulation System (L-TESS) formerly One Tactical Engagement Simulation System (OneTESS) and Non Line of Sight (NLOS) will provide a live, precision, combined arms Force-on-Force and Force-on-Target Non-Line of Sight (NLOS) training capability for Brigade and below exercises, at Homestation, Maneuver Combat Training Centers, deployed sites, and will be interoperable with current and future Instrumentable-Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (I-MILES) Line of Sight (LOS) laser based systems. L-TESS will provide realistic, real-time casualty effects for Force-on-Force tactical engagement training scenarios and the ability to integrate into training instrumentation systems to provide for high fidelity combined arms combat exercises. The Common Training Instrumentation Architecture (CTIA) provides the common product-line architecture, product line software, standards, services, and architecture framework for developing the Live Training Transformation (LT2) Product Line of live training systems supporting Army-wide live instrumented Force-On-Force (FOF) and Force-On-Target (FOT) training requirements and is the core live architecture for the Live, Virtual, Constructive Integrated Training Environment (LVC-ITE). CTIA is a developmental, evolutionary acquisition program that continues to provide developmental support for the LT2 Product line live training systems and provides the live training architecture standard for achieving interoperability between live training systems and Live, Virtual, Constructive-Integrating Architecture (LVC-IA), battle command and control (C2) systems and the Test and Training Enabling Architecture (TENA). Combat Training Center Instrumentation System (CTC-IS) funds the continued development of the Range Communication System at the National Training Center (NTC), to provide high-fidelity live, virtual, and constructive brigade training rotations which prepare Brigade Combat Teams, Joint partners, and supporting units to deploy in support of Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN). CTC-IS develops new data communications systems increasing tracking accuracy and coverage at the CTCs to provide greater training fidelity to training units. CTC-IS also develops infrastructure to host Future Army requirements. The Engagement Skills Trainer (EST 2000) is an indoor, small arms, marksmanship training simulator for individuals and groups with a standard mix of light, heavy and crew-served weapons used in Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO). The EST 2000 provides training for individual marksmanship, small unit collective gunnery skills and tactical training. It incorporates judgmental use of force, including escalation of force and graduated response scenarios. The Medical Simulation Training Center (MSTC) program provides a standardized combat medical training capability and supports Combat Lifesaver training for Active, Reserve and National Guard components, while being capable of training Joint, Interdepartmental, and Coalition Partner organizations to better prepare personnel for medical interventions under combat conditions. Each MSTC system is made of sub-systems, to include the Virtual Patient System (VPS) and the Medical Training Evaluation and Review (MeTER) system. The VPS contains multiple training devices, delivering increasing degrees of fidelity and trauma patient responses. MeTER provides networked training and training management, with instruction and performance tracking/reporting capability. The MSTC system combines training devices, standardized programs of instruction, skilled instructors, adaptive scenarios, and tactical lane training into a cohesive, standardized, training platform for combat medicine. The Live, Virtual, Constructive Integrating Architecture (LVC-IA) provides net-centric linkage that collects, retrieves and exchanges data among LVC Training Aids, Devices, Simulations, and Simulators (TADSS) and Joint/Army Battle Command Systems leading to an LVC Integrated Training Environment (ITE). The LVC-IA defines "how" information is exchanged among LVC domains and Battle Command Systems. The LVC Integrating Architecture includes common LVC components such as Enterprise After Action Review (AAR), Command and Control (C2) Adapters, Terrain Databases, Multi-level Security, and Hardware/Software. The integration of Live, Virtual, and Constructive TADSS with Battle Command will enable larger, more robust, and rich training events at reduced cost. The end-state goal is an LVC Integrated Training Environment that approximates the Operating Environment and provides value-added training and mission rehearsal opportunities to Commanders and units. The Homestation Instrumentation Training System (HITS) provides a high-fidelity deployable instrumented training capability to support platoon thru battalion level Live Force-on-Force Training. HITS tracks locations of soldiers and vehicles and simulates weapons effects and engagements, allowing units to Train as they Fight against live opponents. HITS provides accurate feedback to training units. HITS consists of light deployable components that can be rapidly assembled/disassembled and transported to support deployed training. HITS integrates with future and legacy I-MILES. HITS is a member of the LT2 family of training systems and shares several hardware and software components with the CTC-IS. HITS is required for the Live function of Live-Virtual-Constructive Integrated Training Environment. The Target Modernization provides for the development of advanced training target related technologies focused on enhancing threat realism and engagement feedback, development of a non-contact hit sensor to support counter defilade and area effects training, and development/integration of alternate energy (Green) solutions. Target Modernization provides for the support of changes in doctrine/weapons and alignment to the CTIA Product-Line framework and LVC-ITE. FY12 funds significant development efforts on the Combat Training Center Instrumentation Systems (CTC-IS), Homestation Instrumentation Training System (HITS), Engagement Skills Trainer 2000 (EST 2000), Medical Simulation Training Center (MSTC), Target Modernization, Live Tactical Engagement Simulation System (L-TESS) formerly NLOS and formerly OneTESS, and further implementation of Live Training Transformation (LT2) through development of the Common Training Instrumentation Architecture (CTIA); enabling Joint training with the Joint Forces Command. FY12 program funding will support Live, Virtual, Constructive Integrating Architecture (LVC-IA) Increment 2 and expand the capability of the LVC Integrated Training Environment (ITE).
