SSDS Training Improvement Program

Abstract

The SSDS Total Ship Training Capability (TSTC) provides enhancements and upgrades to the 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), Task Force Cyber Awakening (TFCA) Boundary Defense Capability (BDC), 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 through distributed battle group events to engage in more complex training requirements to support fleet required training certification events. Capability Development and integration are related to Self Defense, Underwater, Surface, and other warfare areas. Capability enhancements and upgrades include development of re-useable common components that can be leveraged by SSDS MK2 combat systems, and/or integration of re-usable common components developed by the TSTC BFTT Program and AEGIS TSTC Total Ship Training Capability (TSTC) projects to meet AEGIS combat system training requirements. PU 3358 funds the development and/or integration of TSTC improvements into the SSDS MK2 ACB-12, FCLIP Phase 2 / FTIIP / TFCA BDC, and ACB-20 / EASR / ESS (Enterprise Air Search Radar / 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 integration with the SSDS MK2 TI-12/TI-16/TI-20 Open Architecture Computing Environment (OACE) for TSTC implementation. 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 Fleet Synthetic Trainers (FSTs).
