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 (MDO). The STE Live program focuses on the development of a next generation live training architecture that leverages innovative technologies and standards to enable the realistic exercise of unit combat weapons up to brigade level in Multi Domain Operation Environments. The challenge today is the Army cannot train as it fights since 40% of BCT platforms weapons effects are currently not simulated by today's live training system, Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement 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), Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives (CBRNE) Plumes and Cyber. FY 2024 Base RDTE dollars in the amount of $23.839 million furthers development of STE Live prototype(s) to replicate the Tactical Engagement Simulation Systems (TESS) for multiple engagement scenarios (direct fire, guided missiles, and autonomous weapons). These systems will replace up to six systems reaching end of useful life and enhance Soldier capability and training value. FY 2024 funds will also continue to revolutionize Soldier Simulation and Training systems to include a Synthetic Training Environment for 12 engagement types: 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. The total cost of the STE Live (CR3) Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) effort is $136 million RDT&E from FY2021 to FY2024.
