STE One World Terrain (OWT)
Abstract
One World Terrain (OWT) is one of three core functions of the Synthetic Training Environment-Information Systems (STE-IS). OWT provides a 3D global terrain capability and associated information services that support virtual replication of the physical Earth and complexities of the operational environment in support Multi-Domain Operations and training at the point-of-need. OWT will enable leaders, Soldiers, and units to train in complex operational environments, such as dense urban, woodland, jungle, desert, and subterranean areas before the first fight begins. Capabilities developed by OWT automatically process raw terrain data into a well-formed format that is editable and consumable by standard commercial tools and technologies. It provides the tools to incorporate approved geospatial information updates and local terrain surveys into the OWT foundational repository and will be used by STE and tactical applications. In FY 2021, OWT adopted the Software Acquisition Pathway employed by the STE-IS program that is tailored for software intensive systems. OWT plans to facilitate rapid and iterative delivery of its capabilities through support to STE-IS Minimal Viable Products (MVP) and Minimum Viable Capability releases (MVCR) that support Squad (Sq) through Brigade (Bde) level training until 4QFY2023. FY 2022 Base RDTE dollars in the amount of $27.788 million for OWT will continue prototyping automated processes for producing 3D terrain data that replicates the physical Earth and its complexities for use in STE and tactical applications. Base funding will support efforts to fully integrate OWT 3D terrain data into the TSS/TMT portion of the STE-IS. Base funding will also be used to develop Mission Command formats and Cybersecurity Testing. The OWT requirements are codified in the STE-IS abbreviated Capabilities Development Document (A-CDD) version 2, approved 2 June 2020.
