LCS Training

Abstract

LCS is a minimally-manned ship, and the small crew size, combined with LCS's complex mission, does not allow adequate time for shipboard on-the-job training to achieve LCS operational availability. Consequently, LCS uses a Train-to-Qualify (T2Q)/Train-to-Certify (T2C) training process in an off-ship/shore-based virtual ship trainer environment, using simulators, and blended training solutions focused on both tactical and equipment operations and maintenance training. When completed, the LCS shore-based training capability will satisfy individual, team, unit, and force training, with an objective of meeting Capability Development Document (CDD) T2Q Key Performance Parameter (KPP) requirements. RDT&E funds will be used to develop advanced Immersive Virtual Shipboard Environment (IVSE), or Virtual Reality (VR) courseware and associated simulators, enabling the satisfactory achievement of the aforementioned training objectives. Additionally, after fielding of systems and courseware, RDTE funds will be utilized to upgrade training to maintain conformance with LCS hull configurations and approved operational technical manuals and procedures. RDTE funds are also used to test and evaluate training devices to ensure compliance with requirements.
