Full Combat Mission Training

Abstract

The program funding includes reductions for overhead reduction efficiencies that are not intended to impact program content. The efficiencies reductions total $1.743 in FY12. Full Combat Mission Training (FCMT) supports Air Force Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) and Live-Virtual-Constructive (LVC) integration. DMO is an operational readiness initiative enabling the USAF to exercise and train at the operational and strategic levels of war while facilitating unit-level training. FY12 FCMT funding provides research in areas benefiting the AF DMO/LVC environment as a whole. Provides Mission Essential Competency studies and contract administration for new systems that support the initial Combat Air Forces (CAF) DMO/LVC capability. Provides research and development to facilitate integration of fielded and newly acquired, Air Force owned training devices into DMO/LVC networks. Enhances the quality of training for the systems added to the network. Enables aircrews to network with LVC components to form the integrated DMO battlespace. Links geographically distributed, high-fidelity combat and combat support training devices including Command and Control (C2) and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems. Develops, demonstrates and inserts multi-level security capability. Allows the warfighters at home station to exercise and train at the operational and strategic levels of war as well as conduct networked unit-level training. This porgram is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements.
