Fleet Synthetic Training

Abstract

Fleet Synthetic Training (FST) provides naval forces with an enhanced in-port training capability. Integrating embedded shipboard training devices, aircraft and submarine simulators into an interoperable network with joint, coalition and interagency partners will provide more effective training for our deploying naval forces. A key factor in achieving this new way of training our naval forces is to ensure that the required training is based on realistic characterizations of the physical environment. This project develops and delivers software that characterizes the ocean and atmospheric environments; adjusts to meet fleet-required training scenarios; allows synthetic training to be conducted in areas of planned and contingency operations; and, provides sufficient detail to simulate the real-world conditions of the physical environment in those areas of interest. To support Fleet readiness the Navy has established a persistent training environment. It enables the use of modeling and simulation in support of Fleet Synthetic Training (FST). Navy's Continuous Training Environment (NCTE) satisfies this requirement by providing the infrastructure and connectivity required for distributed simulation-based training, events, and exercises. The Joint Semi-Automated Forces (JSAF) simulation provides the core model for maritime constructive representation and stimulation for Navy Training and Joint Training events.
