Close Cbt Tact Trainer

Abstract

The Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT) program provides for Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) and Pre-Planned Product Improvements (P3I), which will enhance readiness for both Active and Reserve component forces to support the execution of current and future combat operations including Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) and Unified Land Operations. CCTT develops, fields and sustains a networked system of interactive computer driven simulators, emulators, and semi-automated forces that replicate combat vehicles and weapon systems, combat support systems, combat service support systems, and command and control systems to create a fully integrated, real-time collective task training environment for armor, infantry, cavalry, reconnaissance, and other combat units at Squad through Brigade level. CCTT allows command units and Soldiers to practice Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP) that, if performed on real equipment, would be too hazardous, time-consuming and expensive. These trainers enhance realism and allow Soldiers and units to learn tactical, combat lessons on maneuver, command and control, convoy operations, and improved teamwork for increased survivability and mission effectiveness. The P3I enhances CCTT's capabilities as a tactical trainer and maintains concurrency with fielded, tactical equipment and force structure. These improvements will maintain interoperability with the Aviation Combined Arms Tactical Trainer (AVCATT), Army Battle Command System (ABCS), including Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2), Live, Virtual and Constructive-Integrating Architecture (LVC-IA) and other simulation systems needed to execute training for current and future combat operations. FY 2014 core funding of $.828 million for CCTT enables the P3I for the CCTT Dismounted Soldier Training System (DSTS) in support of Infantry Brigade Combat Teams, Stryker Brigade Combat Teams, Airborne, Ranger, Special Forces units and Armor Brigade Combat Teams.
