Training Systems and Simulation (TSS)

Abstract

The F-35 Training Systems & Simulation Program Management Office (TSS PMO) development portfolio is aligned with the program's Continuous Capability Development & Delivery (C2D2) efforts and is organized in three primary lines of effort; Training System Capability Development (TSCD), Training Systems Investments (TSI) Roadmap, and Joint Simulation Environment (JSE) Development. As a function of the F-35 organizational pivot, this is the first budget cycle in which TSS PMO budget requirements have been comprehensively and discretely defined within a dedicated Project Unit. Training System Capability Development (TSCD): Efforts will continue with a primary focus on alignment of Training System capabilities with other elements of the Air System. Specific efforts will include development of Block 4 capabilities to equivalent maturity of those in the Air Vehicle enabling release of one capability upgrade per year to the fleet, continued development of the Production Runtime Server (PRTS) - Pilot Training Device TR-3 equivalent - to enable Block 4 capabilities, continued development of Live-Virtual-Constructive (LVC) capabilities including Distributed Mission Training (DMT), and appropriate lab infrastructure to enable Training System development. Training Systems Investments (TSI) Roadmap: Efforts will continue with a focus on implementation of the modernization activities outlined in the TSS PMO roadmaps that will target the requirement for higher fidelity training to the warfighter. Specific efforts will include software architecture modernization, hardware architecture modernization and Synthetic Threat Enhancement. Joint Simulation Environment (JSE) Development: Efforts will continue with a focus on remaining F-35 In-a-Box (FIAB) software integration, complex threat/sensor model integration to establish operationally representative simulation environment required for operational test trial validity, and the completion of Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VV&A) activities enabling successful IOT&E Run-for-Score events. Efforts will include FIAB development, threat/sensor model fidelity upgrades, new threat/sensor model development, and JSE upgrades to enable effective verification of Block 4 capabilities. Efforts will continue toward expansion of JSE capability to Wright Patterson AFB, Edwards AFB and Nellis AFB.
