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. Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning, execution, and future program planning. 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, and 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. 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. This presently includes the Air Force Modeling and Simulation Training Toolkit (AFMSTT) and its follow on program Command & Control Simulation Environment for Training (C2SET), which provides the authoritative representation of AF and Joint theater-level air and space power and is used to train Air and Space Operations Center (AOC) personnel and Combatant Commanders' battle staffs. The primary models in the AFMSTT are the Air Warfare Simulation (AWSIM) and Air Base Simulation (ABS). C2SET will replace the AFMSTT models with the proven core Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration, and Modeling (AFSIM) scientific engine under a new AF Software Pathways initiative starting in FY21. The goal is toward more scientific based modeling, simulation, and training stimulation to the Combined Forces Air Component Commander (CFACC). AFMSTT will enter sustainment in FY21 with continued operational updates to maintain operational currency until C2SET fully replaces. This program is part of the overarching Kessel Run portfolio. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver C2SET weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. In FY19 $00.000M and in FY20 $00.000M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element
