TACTS/LATR Replacement

Abstract

3093: The Tactical Combat Training System (TCTS) Increment II will provide an improved environment for air combat training utilizing a secure air-to-air and air-to-ground datalink, and will provide rangeless operation capability to Forward Deployed Naval Forces (FDNF). TCTS Inc II will provide encryption and an enhanced threat environment, as well as airborne participant instrumentation for multiple fixed and rotary wing platforms. FY18 represents a full year of engineering, manufacturing and development (EMD) for the program, which justifies the control. The program's Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and Critical Design Review (CDR) will be completed in FY18. Both are major required Systems Engineering Technical Review (SETR) events and MDA/ASN(RD&A) knowledge points. FY18 funding will complete tasking necessary to prepare for Engineering Development Model (EDM) fabrication to begin in 1Q FY19. In FY18, 41 test articles will be procured to include 10 Airborne Subsystems (AS), 15 Rack-mounted Subsystems (RS), 6 Ground Subsystems (GS) and 10 Remote Range Units (RRU). In FY19, 16 test articles will be procured to include 6 RS and 10 RRU. This schedule is necessary to support the MS C timeline and to meet the Fleet IOC need date of 2Q FY22 in order to address critical OPSEC concerns.
