AVIATION COMBINED ARMS TACTICAL TRAINER
Abstract
This project supports the Aviation Combined Arms Tactical Trainer (AVCATT) which is the Army's Aviation Collective training system for Active, Reserve and Army National Guard components to provide home station training and mission rehearsal and training in support of Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO). AVCATT completed Initial Operational Test & Evaluation (IOT&E) on 1 August 2003 and received a Full Rate Production Decision on 19 December 2003. A single suite of equipment consists of two mobile trailers housing six reconfigurable networked simulators that support the AH-64A/D, UH-60A/L, CH-47D, and OH-58D aircraft. Supporting roleplayer, Semi-Automated Forces (SAF), and after action review (AAR) workstations are also provided as part of each suite. AVCATT is a fully mobile system capable of using shore and generator power and is transportable worldwide. The AVCATT system permits aviation units to conduct collective task training on a real-time, virtual battlefield in a combined arms scenario by leveraging Synthetic Environment Core (SE Core) capabilities. Other required elements that are present on the modern, high intensity battlefield, such as the Combat Support (CS) and Combat Service Support (CSS) elements, are an integral part of the simulation database. AVCATT is designed to provide realistic, high intensity collective and combined arms training to aviation units as well as the full spectrum of operations in support of current and future contingency operations. AVCATT supports the Aviation Combined Arms Training Strategy, the Army Forces Generation (ARFORGEN) and OCO. AVCATT also supports the Aviation Functional Area Assessment (FAA), providing collective, combined arms training for aviation units. FY12 core funding of $2.549 million will develop the capability for AVCATT to interoperate with real and simulated Army Battle Command Systems (ABCS) such as Blue Force Tracker (BFT), Force XXI Command Brigade (FBCB2), Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data Systems (AFATDs) and others.
