SSDS Training Improvement Program

Abstract

The SSDS Training Improvement project will provide enhancements and upgrades to the Total Ship Training Capability (TSTC) training components within the combat system to address needs for increased training capability and functionality in conjunction with SSDS MK2 Advanced Capability Builds (ACB)/Fire Control Loop Improvement Project (FCLIP), Far-Term Interoperability Improvement Project (FTIIP) and Technical Insertion efforts under PU 2178 (QRCC). These enhancements will address current and future training requirements by implementing new functionality to enable the individual warfighter to engage in more complex training requirements and distributed battle group events to support fleet required training certification events. Capability Development and integration are related to Integrated Air and Missile Defense, Underwater, Surface, and other warfare areas. Capability enhancements and upgrades include development of re-useable common components that can be leveraged by AEGIS combat systems, and/or integration of re-usable common components developed by the TSTC BFTT Program (PE 0204571/PU1427) and AEGIS TSTC Training Improvement program (PE 0604307/PU 3357) to meet SSDS integrated combat system training requirements. PU 3358 funds the development and/or integration of TSTC improvements into the SSDS MK2 FCLIP Phase 2 / FTIIP and ACB-20/ESS (Enterprise Surveillance Suite) baselines and TI-12/TI-16/TI-20 configurations. The integrated SSDS MK2 TSTC improvements will be included in the SSDS MK2 baseline documentation, testing and certification. The planning schedule for the SSDS MK2 baselines are documented in QRCC Project (PU 2178). The TSTC improvements encompass physical and functional upgrades to the existing SSDS MK2 onboard training capabilities and configuration implemented with Battle Force Tactical Trainer (BFTT). Planned TSTC improvements include the use of SSDS MK2 TI-12/TI-16/TI-20 Open Architecture Computing Environment (OACE) for TSTC integration. TSTC provides realistic joint warfare training across the spectrum of armed conflict, realistic unit level team training in all warfare areas. TSTC provides ships' Commanding Officers and Battle Group/Battle Force Commanders with the ability to conduct coordinated realistic, high stress, combat system level team training as an integral part of the Afloat Training Organization, the Tactical Training Groups and C2F/C3F FSTs.
