SSDS Training Improvement Program
Abstract
SSDS Training Improvement Program provides enhancements and upgrades to the SSDS Total Ship Training Capability (TSTC) components within the combat system, combat system elements, Battle-Force Tactical Training (BFTT), and Advanced Training Domain (ATD) to address needs for increased training capability and functionality in conjunction with SSDS MK2 incremental capability packages, 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 Advanced Training Domain (ATD)/TSTC Total Ship Training Capability (TSTC) projects to meet AEGIS combat system training requirements. TSTC continues to integrate and update, as new tactical capabilities are being introduced, to enable crew operator proficiency training for basic and sustainment level training events, through distributed strike group certification fleet synthetic training (FST) events and including COMPTUEX FST at-Sea integration into Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) environment. Continued Development is required to integrate new capabilities and interfaces to provide training for AEGIS and SSDS combat system capability upgrades, and to address the Fleet's Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) Fleet Training Wholeness initiative. Additionally, modernization is needed to support the DoD Training Transformation Plan, the Chief of Naval Operations Fleet Response Plan and Commander United States Fleet Forces Command Fleet Readiness Training Plan. The Advanced Training Domain (ATD) is being developed to combine BFTT and the AEGIS Combat Training System (ACTS) into a common system that integrates with AEGIS BL 9.2.2AF, and SSDS BL 12xAF. ATD is being hosted along with the AEGIS and SSDS combat system on TI-16 common processing and display hardware. ATD is being designed to be the core of the Total Ship Training Capability, and is projected to be more reliable, simpler to use, and architecturally extensible to meet interoperability and capability enhancement challenges in the future. BFTT is being updated to maintain integration and capability enhancements developed for the Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC), Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP), and the Carrier Tactical Support Center (CV-TSC), and SSDS Fire Control Loop Improvement Program. TSTC provides realistic joint warfare training across the spectrum of armed conflict, realistic unit level team training in all warfare areas (e.g. NIFC-CA and BMD missions to support IAMD). 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 FST/LVC events. Continue develop and integrate MH-60R simulator to enable embedded shipboard training in support of basic and sustainment training, as well as establishes the pathway to support pier-side Fleet Synthetic Training (FST) events. Continue development and integration of Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) Enhanced Training (CET) to support basic and sustainment level training, as well as provide ability to distribute and establish CEC data link during pier-side fleet synthetic training exercises. CET is an enabler for proficiency training of NIFC-CA capability. Complete development of Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) simulator to enable training of Modes 1, 2, 3A, 4, C, 5 and S on both AEGIS and SSDS ships. Capability will enable training of AEGIS and SSDS IFF MODE 5/S, and address Mode 4 Inoculation. Develop and integrate commensurate training improvements to SSDS ACB 20 for Enhanced Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM) and Electronic Warfare (EW) tactical improvements. Integrate Navy Continuous Training Environment (NCTE) networking and cyber security upgrades to maintain authorization to participate in distributed shipboard training events. TSTC integrated on SSDS provides the capability to complete system and operational level testing of the combat system.
