STE Live
Abstract
The Synthetic Training Environment (STE) Live program develops live training systems in concert with the Cross Functional Team STE initiatives. The STE Live program converges live training with the STE, providing units the necessary training components to accelerate and sustain combined arms maneuver proficiency in support of multi-domain operations. The STE Live program focuses on the development of next generation live training architecture that leverages leading edge technologies and standards to enable the realistic exercise of unit combat weapons up to brigade level in Multi Domain Operation Environment. The challenge today is that the Army cannot train as it fights since 40% of BCT platforms weapons effects are currently not simulated by today's live training system (MILES). STE Live next generation systems will replicate the following new engagement types, improve sensory feedback, increase realism of direct fire engagement, increase realism of battle damage assessments, improve after action reviews and improve instrumentation at the Combat Training Centers and Home Stations: Indirect Fire, Counter-Defilade (M320, MK-19), Place Object (Mines), Thrown Objects (Grenades), Dropped Objects (Bombs), Guided Weapon (Missiles), Autonomous Weapon (Missiles, Smart Munitions), Direct Energy (laser), Radiant Energy (Sonic, Microwave), CBRNE Plumes and Cyber. FY 2022 Base RDTE dollars in the amount of $20.000 million furthers development of STE Live prototype(s) into simulation training systems to replicate the training aid weapon systems for multiple engagement scenarios (direct, indirect, & counter-defilade). These systems will replace up to six systems reaching End of Useful life and enhance Soldier capability and training value. FY 2022 funds will continue to revolutionize Soldier Simulation and Training systems to include a Synthetic Training Environment for 12 engagement types are Direct Fire, Counter-Defilade Fire, Indirect Fire, Dropped Objects, Placed Objects, Thrown Objects, Guided Weapons, Autonomous Weapons, Cyber, Directed Energy, Radiant Energy, and Plume. The 5 instrumentation enablers are Calculations, Networks, Sensors, Terrains, and Transmitters.
