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. 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 Unified Land Operations. A single suite of equipment consists of two mobile trailers housing six reconfigurable, networked simulators that support the AH-64D/E, UH-60A/L/M, CH-47D/F and OH-58D/F 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. FY 2014 core funding of $3.828 million will develop and test the replacement Sensor Video Recording System functionality in AVCATT to meet the After Action Review (AAR) Key Performance Parameter (KPP). It will also design new capabilities to enhance training when using the AVCATT and NCM3 in combined mode, including improved communications, hoist operations, slingload operations, and visual realism improvements.
