STE Advanced Technology
Abstract
This Project investigates and develops technologies supporting the Army's Synthetic Training Environment (STE), a comprehensive live-virtual-constructive architecture that will enable Soldiers to train the spectrum of missions in virtual environments involving thousands of virtual combatants and miles of complex terrain including megacities. The STE will enable Army units and leaders to conduct realistic multi-echelon / Multi-Domain Operations, combined arms maneuver, and mission command training at the point of need anywhere in the world, increasing Soldier and Small Unit proficiency through repetition. Units can then master collective training tasks in the live environment. The Project leverages the capabilities of industry and the research and development community, to include work at the Institute for Creative Technologies (ICT). This project matures and demonstrates a distributed modeling and simulation (M&S) environment that integrates a collection of multi-fidelity models and simulations and tools that map to an evolving architecture and M&S activities to support decisions throughout the acquisition life-cycle; and provides a unifying M&S architecture that synchronizes and integrates multi-resolution modeling applications such as Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) experimentation utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled attributes. This Project focuses on researching cutting-edge M&S methods to enable the Army and the Department of Defense (DoD) to perform critical System of Systems (SoS) analysis, experimentation, technology tradeoffs, capability assessments, concept development, and training that saves time and resources while increasing the effectiveness of acquisition and training activities. This effort complements work done in 0602143A (Soldier Lethality Technology) / Project BE8 (Synthetic Training Environment (STE) Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. FY 2020 realignments are due to financial restructuring in support of Army Modernization Priorities. Work in this Project is performed by the U.S. Army Futures Command (AFC).
