STE One World Terrain (OWT)

Abstract

One World Terrain (OWT) is one of the Army's modernization efforts, and one of three core functions of the Synthetic Training Environment-Information Systems (STE-IS). OWT provides a 3D global terrain and associated information services that support virtual replication of the physical Earth to reflect the complexities of the operational environment in support Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) for use in training. OWT enables leaders, Soldiers, and units to train in simulated complex operational environments, such as dense urban, woodland, jungle, desert, and subterranean areas before the first fight begins. OWT modernizes the Army's terrain generation capability by automatically processing raw terrain data into a 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 the Synthetic Training Environment (STE) to represent the terrain in a virtual environment. In FY 2021, OWT entered the Software Acquisition Pathway. OWT facilitated rapid and iterative delivery of its capabilities to the STE-IS for the Reconfigurable Virtual Collective Trainer (RVCT) as part of the family of STE programs. FY 2024 Base RDTE dollars in the amount of $13.192 million for OWT will continue development of automated processes to produce 3D terrain data that replicates the physical Earth and its complexities for use in the STE family of programs. The OWT requirements are codified in the STE-IS abbreviated Capabilities Development Document (A-CDD) version 2, approved 2 June 2020.
