Mission Training and Preparation Systems (MTPS)
Abstract
This project funds the definition, design, development, prototyping, integration, and testing of Mission Training and Preparation Systems (MTPS) to support training, avoid obsolescence, and maintain simulator concurrency with weapon systems’ configurations; support mission planning and rehearsal systems enhancements required to meet Special Operations Force (SOF)-unique mission requirements and correct deficiencies identified in previous testing; and support mission planning and rehearsal capabilities in current MTPS. The MTPS project also includes program management, systems engineering, configuration management, architecture development, risk reduction, and trade study initiatives, as well as initiatives to assure interoperability and commonality between diverse SOF training systems. Sub-projects include: •Distributed Mission Training Rehearsal System: Consolidates existing common environment and common database components and conducts further development of those components to provide a complete system for Distributed Mission Operations, Training and Rehearsal. This development is focused on a common database and common environment solution that can be applied to all MTPS. The development builds on an existing SOF Common Database specification. The mission rehearsal capability will enable the SOF community to plan and rehearse a mission utilizing virtual simulation technologies. This capability is focused on ground and maritime forces. •Special Operations Mission Planning Environment (SOMPE): Develops, integrates, tests, and validates enhancements required to meet SOF-unique requirements for, and correct deficiencies to, mission planning, preview, rehearsal and execution tools to support all phases of SOF operations from deliberate to time critical. The SOMPE project automates time-sensitive planning activities and provides enhanced situational awareness during mission execution. SOMPE provides the interoperable environment for SOF adaptive planning to integrate global operations including, but not limited to, Precision Strike Software, Digital Navigation, and Unmanned Aerial Systems Command & Control. This project also provides the integration of SOMPE with three-dimensional visualization systems, providing immersive mission rehearsal in minimal timeframes from the SOMPE mission plan. Spanning all elements of USSOCOM, SOMPE is embedded in the USSOCOM Headquarters, Theater Special Operations Commands, Joint Special Operations Task Force, Joint Special Operations Aviation Components, SOF warfighters, and SOF warfighting platforms.
