Synthetic Envir Core

Abstract

This project supports the Synthetic Environment Core (SE Core) Program. The 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. FY 2020 base funding of $9.241 million for SE Core will continue the development of the STDGC to ensure the process remains AGC certified and that the terrain data maintains the "Gold Standard" quality and remain concurrent with supported training systems. FY 2020 funds will also continue the development and integration of new tools and processes to improve the STDGC to accommodate generation of increasing larger constructive terrain databases.
