Warfighter Readiness
Abstract
Modeling and Simulation support to our Warfighter's Readiness is a United States Air Force (USAF) corporate imperative to ensure air, space, cyberspace training, and mission rehearsal activities are supported with realistic, interoperable, and readily available, tools, data, services and environments. Warfighter Readiness supports Department of Defense (DoD) Training Transformation (T2) and Joint National Training Capability (JNTC) along with the USAF priorities and core functions. It includes several complimentary programs, initiatives and areas for investment: Warfighter and Joint Training Integration supports the Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CSAF) directed Live-Virtual-Constructive (LVC) Integration efforts and is a critical piece to the USAF's implementation of the Strategic Plan for Transforming DoD Training. The goal of LVC training and mission rehearsal is to prepare our warfighters for the full range of military operations and maintain the combat readiness levels required by the Combatant Commands (COCOMs). This can only be accomplished by training and rehearsing in realistic operational environments. These environments include live training ranges and virtual simulators enhanced with constructive entities. Specific training and mission rehearsal events can include some or all of these simultaneously; making the ability to integrate LVC capabilities a necessity. The Air, Space, and Cyberspace Constructive Environment (ASCCE) is the USAF's authoritative federation of constructive training models and tools realistically representing the tactical and operational capabilities the USAF brings to the Joint fight. It includes: 1) The Air Force Modeling and Simulation Training Toolkit (AFMSTT), which provides the authoritative representation of Air Force and Joint theater-level air and space power and is used to train Air and Space Operations Center (AOC) personnel and Combat Commanders (COCOM) battle staffs. The primary model in the AFMSTT is the Air Warfare Simulation (AWSIM). 2) The Information Operations Suite (IOS), which provides the authoritative representation of Air Force information operations. IOS is comprised of a suite of models that support training and mission rehearsal for the Air Force, Joint Task Force commanders, and COCOM battle staffs during Joint and Service exercises and experimentations. Other capabilities, such as the Air Force Synthetic Environment for Reconnaissance and Surveillance (AFSERS) provide for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) training and exercise support by using virtual simulators and constructive models for command and staff level training. These capabilities provide commanders, staffs, and operators with common training systems for the employment, tasking, exploitation and dissemination of imagery. The Joint Training Transformation Initiative (JTTI) is a CSAF and Chief of Staff of the Army initiative to improve air, space, and cyberspace power fidelity to the Battle Command Training Program (BCTP), a US Army training event for senior commanders and their staffs, as well as improving ground component fidelity to Air Force operational-level exercises.
