Future Immersive Training Environment (FITE)
Abstract
The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) validated the requirements for the capabilities needed from FITE JCTD in FY 2008. The user sponsor and Operational Manager is USJFCOM. FITE JCTD will demonstrate advanced virtual training technologies for the small unit. It will provide a common software training environment for a variety of different training hardware configurations including laptop-based, Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality, and Augmented Reality. This two-year effort has been divided into two spiral demonstrations. The first spiral will demonstrate an individual worn Virtual Reality system based on the hardware platform selected by the U.S. Army’s Dismounted Soldier programin support of the US Army CCTT DS program. The second spiral will deliver advanced Mixed Reality technologies for fixed location training facilities such as the Marine Corps’ Infantry Immersion Trainer (IIT) and the Army’s Combined Arms Collective Training Facility (CACTF). In addition it will deliver an individual worn Augmented Reality demonstration that will allow individuals to train small unit infantry skills at any location with special Augmented Reality equipment. This equipment will include a see-through Helmet Mounted Display that will project realistic looking virtual characters into the training environment.
