Synthetic Envir Core

Abstract

This project supports the Synthetic Environment Core (SE Core) Program. The Synthetic Environment Core (SE Core) Program is a foundational element and the only provider of correlated terrain for the Army's Live, Virtual, Constructive Integrated Training Environment (LVC ITE) that links Army training systems and simulators into an integrated and interoperable environment. SE Core's mission is to ensure that Army systems and simulators support U.S. Army Readiness by providing 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. As the exclusive provider of correlated terrain, SE Core ensures that all Army simulators/operators receive terrain that allows for a "Fair Fight" capability; that is, no one will have an inherent advantage over another because training did not occur on a "level playing field". Fair Fight allows air and ground forces to hold coordinated and integrated training events that accurately replicate combat operations for a train-as-we-fight capability. A major component of the program is the SE Core-developed Standard Terrain Database Generation Capability (STDGC), the process used to build the terrain and models that the simulators and simulations employ. The Army Geospatial Center (AGC) gave SE Core its highest rating, the "Gold Standard", based on the quality of the STDGC process and the geospatial data generated by it. The program has been a certified, AGC co-producer of geospatial data since 2014. In addition to the correlated terrain databases and common visual models, SE Core components include Virtual One Semi-Automated Forces (Virtual OneSAF) (the computer generated force behaviors for virtual systems); the virtual systems architecture; and mission command development. FY2019 base funding of $9.729 million for SE Core will continue the development of the STDGC terrain generation capability to ensure the process remains AGC certified and that the correlated terrain databases maintain the "Gold Standard" quality rating and remain concurrent with supported training systems. FY19 funds will continue developing and integrating the tools and process for constructive terrain database generation. Additionally, funds will be used to enhance subterranean and building interiors capabilities for incorporation into the STDGC baseline to provide interoperability across training simulators and simulations. SE Core will continue to enhance Virtual OneSAF in the SE Core Architecture and develop, upgrade, integrate and refine the common visual models with FY19 funds.
