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 Force 2025 and beyond. 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 2017 base funding of $9.322 million will continue the efforts of providing development of the capability to produce common terrain databases to maintain concurrency with supported training systems. FY 2017 funds will continue modifying the Terrain Development process for constructive terrain databases, and continue to enhance OneSAF in the SE Core Architecture. Base funding also provides continuous development of new OneSAF capabilities for virtual simulations and enables interoperability with the Live, Virtual, Constructive Integrated Training Environment (LVC ITE); this is a cost avoidance for individual virtual simulators in that they 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. FY17 base funding request decreased significantly from the PB16 submission due to a de-scoping of program requirements.
