Army Threat Sim (ATS)

Abstract

This Project supports the design, development, acquisition, integration, and fielding of realistic mobile threat simulators and realistic threat simulation products utilized in Army/DOD training and developmental and operational tests. Army Threat Simulator and Threat Simulation products are utilized to populate test battlefields for United States (U.S.) Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC), to conduct developmental and operational tests, and to support Program Executive Office (PEO) required user testing in System Integration Laboratories and hardware/simulation in-the-loop facilities. Army Threat Simulator and Threat Simulation products developed or fielded under this Project support Army-wide, non-system-specific threat product requirements. Each capability is pursued in concert and coordination with existing Army/DoD and Tri-Service capabilities to eliminate duplication of effort. These battlefield simulators represent systems (e.g. missile systems, command, control and communications systems, electronic warfare systems, etc.) that are used to portray a realistic threat environment during testing of U.S. weapon systems. Simulator development is responsive to Office of the Secretary of Defense and General Accounting Office guidance for the Army to conduct operational testing in a realistic threat environment. Actual threat equipment is acquired when appropriate (in lieu of development) and total package fielding is still required (i.e., instrumentation, operations and maintenance, manuals, new equipment training, etc.). Threat simulator development is accomplished under the auspices of the Project Manager for Instrumentation, Targets and Threat Simulators (PM ITTS) and the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation, Threat Simulator Investment Working Group.
