Aviation Combined Arms Tactical Trainer

Abstract

The Aviation Combined Arms Tactical Trainer (AVCATT) is Army Aviation's only Collective Training System of Record for Active, Reserve and Army National Guard Aviation Units. AVCATT enables unit collective and combined arms air-ground training for AH-64, UH-60, CH-47, and OH-58 aircrews within the Live, Virtual, Constructive, & Gaming (LVC-G) Integrated Training Environment (ITE). The AVCATT also supports the training of Non-Rated crew members in crew coordination, flight, aerial gunnery, hoist and slingload related tasks via the Non-Rated Crewmember Manned Module (NCM3); which can be linked to AVCATT's UH-60 and CH-47 cockpit configurations to support a unit's specific Mission Training Requirements. FY 2015 base funding of $11.671 million will design, develop and test new capabilities to enhance training when using the AVCATT and NCM3 in combined mode, including improved communications, hoist operations, slingload operations, visual realism improvements, and enhanced After Action Review capabilities. It will also design new interfaces required for interoperability with Mission Command Systems (MCS) and Contemporary Operating Environment (COE) compliance within the Realtime/Safety Critical/Embedded Computing Environment (CE). It will also design new interfaces and protocols for a Voice Communication System Upgrade to remain synchronized with improvements to tactical radios for Rotary Wing Aviation (RWA) platforms.
