LCS Training

Abstract

LCS is a minimally-manned ship, and the small crew. 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 tactical, equipment operations, and maintenance training. When completely developed and procured, the LCS shore-based training capability will satisfy individual, team, unit, and force training, with an objective of meeting Capability Development Document (CDD) T2Q/T2C Key Performance Parameter (KPP) requirements. RDT&E funds are used to develop advanced Immersive Virtual Ship Environment (IVSE), or Virtual Reality (VR) courseware and associated simulators to achieve the training objectives. Additionally, after fielding these systems and courseware, RDT&E funds will be utilized to upgrade training to maintain conformity with LCS configurations and approved operational technical manuals and procedures. RDT&E funds are also used to test and evaluate training devices to verify compliance with requirements. The FY 2019 funding request was reduced by $2.208 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances.
