SYNTHETIC ENVIR CORE

Abstract

This project supports the Synthetic Environment Core (SE Core) Program. SE Core's mission is to ensure the Army's virtual training systems and simulators are fully integrated and interoperable. SE Core provides visual models (buildings and vehicles), terrain (over which the simulator moves), and entity behaviors (models performing realistic and appropriate actions) that are relevant and realistic to Unified Land Operations. The result is a "Fair Fight" capability; no simulator or operator will have an inherent advantage over another. This allows for air and ground to have coordinated and integrated training events that accurately replicate combat operations. Additionally, SE Core is building the Army's Common Virtual Environment (CVE) that provides the linkage between simulators and establishes a common environment for interoperability. This allows various simulators to be "hooked up" together for a train as they fight capability. SE Core is a foundational element in the Army's Training Transformation Plan linking the embedded systems, multi-mode Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) training capability with current systems. The SE Core components are One Semi-Automated Forces (OneSAF) integration; terrain database production; common visual models; a virtual systems architecture; a dynamic environment; mission command development; and net ready. A major SE Core component is the Standard Terrain Database Generation Capability (STDGC) process used to produce the synthetic terrain used in simulators and simulations. This terrain produced by SE Core is a key component for virtual simulators and constructive simulations and will expand to meet the growing demands of today's and future simulations. FY 2013 base funding of $9.616 million will provide expanded development and production for common terrain databases as well as refining the production process. FY2013 funds will focus on modifying the Terrain Development process for constructive Terrain Database Production and continue to enhance OneSAF in the SE Core Architecture, CCTT, AVCATT and other virtual simulator baselines. Maintaining OneSAF for virtual simulations enables interoperability with the LVC ITE and reduces cost as individual virtual simulators will no longer develop and maintain separate SAFs. The SE Core Product Line of Common Virtual Components will continue with upgrades, integration and refinement, and the continued development of common visual models.
