Combat System Testing, Training and Performance Monitoring,
Abstract
Combat system and system designs encompassing Testing, Training and Performance Monitoring (TT&PM) attributes are being implemented now. To date, individual system and combat system design and implementation effects have proceeded independently, satisfying specific requirements of each combat system/system sponsor. This results in an improvement in fleet combat system readiness support but may eventually lead to logistical problems, an inability to conduct battle group TT&PM exercises, and - where system level developments predominate - an inability to conduct combat system level TT&PM functions. Combat Simulation Test System (CSTS) systems, standardization of combat system TT&PM requirements and implementation of these requirements for future TT&PM capable systems. The approach defined in this paper is divided into three sections which, while separate in concept, can progress concurrently. Pt. 1 defines the concept and capabilities of the AN/SSQ-91 CSTSE presently in the fleet in DDG 993 Class ships, describes similar systems under contract for LHD 1 and MCM 1 ship construction programs, and discusses shorebased applications of CSTS. Pt. 2 defines the engineering analysis process that will be used to define and establish long range TT&PM technical capabilities and requirements. Pt. 3 discusses an approach for backfitting TT&PM requirements into the Active Fleet and specifying TT&PM requirements in system/ship procurement programs.
