Gaming Technology in Support of Army Training
Abstract
The Games for Training (GFT) program provides a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) product line of personal computer based gaming applications to train Soldiers in decision-making, team and individual tasks at different skill levels, using multiple mission scenarios. The program leverages the commercial game industry to provide state of the art training solutions. The GFT program provides Army-wide licenses from the commercial market, or from Research and Development agencies, and the hardware required to operate the systems. The individual products permit Soldiers and units to conduct training in a real-time, semi-immersive environment that will leverage Synthetic Environment Core (SE Core) capabilities and is compliant with Live, Virtual and Constructive Integrated Training Environment (LVC-ITE). The GFT program currently supports both Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) and Decisive Operations. FY 2013 core funding of $1.348 million will integrate OneSAF and new commercial and government technology products into the current gaming system.
