STE Reconfigurable Virtual Trainer (RVCT)
Abstract
The STE-IS and RVCT requirements, which are codified in abbreviated Capabilities Development Documents (A-CDD) version 2 approved 2 June 2020, directly support the Army Collective Training Environment - Initial Capabilities Document (ACTE-ICD) as the Army's cornerstone for replicating the Operational Environment (OE) during training events enabling the Army to train as it fights. Separate, but interoperable, RVCT systems are required for both air and ground collective training. The Air RVCT will represent the U.S. Army, Army National Guard, and Army Reserves fleet of rotary wing aircraft. The Ground RVCT will represent ground track and wheeled vehicles from the U.S. Army and Army National Guard. The Reconfigurable Virtual Collective Trainer (RVCT) is the Army's next generation Virtual Training System for conducting collective maneuver training, collective gunnery training, mission rehearsal, and pre-deployment training; that will prepare units for Multi-Domain Operations (MDO). The RVCT includes aviation platforms (RVCT-A), ground platforms (RVCT-G), and dismounted infantry devices. The RVCT is transportable to the Point of Need (PoN) allowing units to train anywhere in the world. The RVCT will be enabled using the Synthetic Training Environment-Information Systems (STE-IS) software, which provides a fully interactive, real time simulated battlefield. FY2024 Base RDTE dollars in the amount of $15.282 million for RVCT is to continue iterative development on the RVCT configuration kits, complete integration lab assets, and develop future configuration kits based on Soldier feedback emerging from FY 2023 Soldier Touch Points (STPs) and an Operational Demonstration (OD) at Fort Hood, Texas. The total cost of the RVCT (CR5) MTA effort is $67 million RDT&E from FY2022 to FY2024.
