Synthetic Envir Core

Abstract

This project supports the Synthetic Environment Core (SE Core) Program. SE Core's mission is to ensure the Army's training systems and simulators are integrated and interoperable in support of U.S. Army Readiness. SE Core provides virtual simulators with visual models (buildings and vehicles), terrain (over which the simulator moves), and entity behaviors (models performing realistic and appropriate actions such as movement and weapon effects) 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. Fair Fight 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, allowing various simulators to be linked together for a train-as-we-fight capability. SE Core is a foundational element in the Integrated Training Environment linking the embedded systems, multi-mode Live, Virtual, Constructive, Gaming (LVCG) training capability with current systems. The SE Core components are Virtual One Semi-Automated Forces (OneSAF) integration; terrain database production; common visual models; virtual systems architecture; a dynamic environment; and mission command development. 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 is a key component for virtual simulators and constructive simulations and will meet the demands of today's and future simulations. FY 2016 base funding of $16.658 million will continue the efforts of providing expanded development of the capability to produce common terrain databases. FY 2016 funds will modify the Terrain Development process to include constructive terrain databases, continue to enhance OneSAF in the SE Core Architecture and generate databases for constructive simulation and gaming. Maintaining OneSAF for virtual simulations enables interoperability with the Live, Virtual, Constructive Integrated Training Environment (LVC ITE) and is a cost avoidance for individual virtual simulators in that they that do not develop and maintain separate Semi-Automated Forces (SAFs). SE Core will continue to upgrade, integrate and refine the Common Virtual Components, and continue to develop common visual models and transportation networks.
