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. 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: Development efforts will continue to focus on modernization of activities outlined in the TSS PMO roadmaps that will target the requirement of bringing higher fidelity training to the warfighter. Specific development and testing efforts focus on software architecture modernization, hardware architecture modernization, and Synthetic Threat Enhancement. Joint Simulation Environment (JSE) Development: Development and testing 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 for F-35 Block 4 modernization. Efforts will include FIAB development, model fidelity and capability upgrades for existing threats/sensors/weapons, development of new threat/sensor/weapon models, and environment 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.
