STE Squad Immersive Virtual Trainer (SiVT)

Abstract

Squad Immersive Virtual Trainer (SiVT) is the immersive training capability delivered as part of the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) for the close combat squads that enables IVAS to be a Fight, Rehearse, and Train platform. IVAS/SiVT provide a single platform for Soldiers/Marines to Fight, Rehearse, and Train with day and night capability, providing increased lethality, mobility, and situational awareness necessary to achieve overmatch against current and future adversaries. SiVT provides a readiness tool for Squad Lethality and Human Performance assessment and a Synthetic Training Environment (STE) tool enabling on-demand squad training. SiVT provides the "Rehearse and Train" capability to the IVAS platform's "Fight, Rehearse, and Train" concept. FY2025 BASE RDTE funding in the amount of $18.889 million will continue technology insertion into the SiVT system, including technologies that improve outdoor capability, increase the reliability and connectivity of the systems. Other efforts include alternative drop-in kit prototypes, additional drop-in kits to support future Next Generation Squad Weapon variants, SiVT reduction and improvements in Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP), One World Terrain accessibility and integration, and tactical cloud package development and integration. Funding will continue technology insertions and testing that improve the SiVTs ability to support Close Combat Force (CCF) training on Battle Drills 1-11 in both indoor and outdoor settings, mirroring IVAS capabilities. Basis of Estimate: Developmental costs associated with vendor engineering, cyber hardening and logistical support personnel. Internal Army Enablement Testing (AETs) from Sprint Exit Builds (SEB) and Informal/Formal User Assessments/User Juries/Soldier Touch Points are required to ensure a path to Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) and First Unit Issued and First Unit Equipped.
