Intelligence Simulation Systems

Abstract

This program element funds the Intelligence & Electronic Warfare Tactical Proficiency Trainer (IEWTPT) supporting home station training by simulating and stimulating Military Intelligence (MI) organic or surrogate equipment. It enables sustainment of critical individual and collective Military Intelligence (MI) tasks/skills and is the core of the US Army Intelligence Center of Excellence (USAICoE) Military Intelligence holistic training strategy supporting mission command, targeting, and MI soldier readiness. IEWTPT provides a realistic simulation intelligence target environment for Multi-Intelligence disciplines such as All Source Analysis, Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Imagery Intelligence (IMINT), Human Intelligence (HUMINT), Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) and must stimulate and emulate multiple Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR) platform systems such as: Prophet, Distributed Common Ground Station-Army (DCGS-A); Tactical Ground Station (TGS); and Aerial Intelligence assets such as Enhanced Medium Altitude Reconnaissance and Surveillance System (EMARSS) and Guardrail Common Sensor (GRCS). IEWTPT provides training capabilities supporting detailed ISR individual, crew, and collective level mission rehearsals/exercises. IEWTPT can utilize a constructive simulation feed or operate in a stand-alone mode. IEWTPT provides the "Digital Range" for Warfighting Commanders at all echelons to train intelligence tasks based on accurately portraying the operational environment and simulating and stimulating MI equipment where system operators and analysts are able to synchronize their Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets to exploit exercise intelligence data and provide the commander with required, executable, intelligence information in support of decision making. IEWTPT provides training for analyst and system operators to exploit intelligence data during training, just as they would in "Real World" operations. The IEWTPT Technical Control Cell (TCC) is composed of two components: The Lower Enclave (LE) which supports exercise planning and development and drives the All Source and GEOINT training tasks and the Upper Enclave (UE) which supports all SIGINT related training and operates at the Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) classification level. FY 2021 funding in the amount of $2.024 million supports MI soldier readiness by developing interface capabilities with Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR) platform programs/systems of records to train detailed military intelligence mission essential tasks in a simulation environment in support of Mission Command and Targeting. The funds provide the development of web-enabled and cloud ready capabilities and emerging Electronic Warfare (EW) and intelligence support to Cyber operations for inclusion into the Technical Control Cell (TCC) software baseline. Additionally, funding will provide for transition to IEWTPT Increment 2 in FY 2022 by leveraging the existing mature program baseline. Increment 2 will be a software only environment and will provide training capabilities that are synchronized with emerging Intelligence Corps system modernization priorities supporting multi-domain operations.
