AVIATION COMBINED ARMS TACTICAL TRAINER

Abstract

The Aviation Combined Arms Tactical Trainer (AVCATT) is an Army aviation training system for Active, Reserve and Army National Guard Components. 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. Other AVCATT modules, such as the Non-Rated Crewmember Manned Module (NCM3, a sub-system of AVCATT), can be linked to this basic configuration, when and where needed, to support specific unit training requirements. 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. The AVCATT is designed to provide realistic, high intensity, collective and combined arms training for aviation units. AVCATT supports the Aviation Combined Arms Training Strategy, Army Forces Generation (ARFORGEN), Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), and Decisive Operations. FY 2013 core funding of $2.581 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 Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2), and Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data Systems (AFATDs).
