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. Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) FST at Sea funding will provide the capability to conduct integrated Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) single or multi-ship exercises with ships at sea using the Navy Continuous Training Environment (NCTE). This capability will support BMD mission area Fleet training and mission rehearsal in theater, allow ships to participate in Combatant Command (COCOM) mandated BMD exercises while pierside or underway, as well as enhance BMD training objective accomplishment in current Fleet Requirements Training Plan (FRTP) underway training events such as Composite Training Unit Exercises (COMPTUEX) and Joint Task Force Exercises (JTFEX). The NCTE and FST directly support Fleet training readiness and strike group and BMD platform deployment certifications.
