Soldier/Squad Virtual Trainer
Abstract
The United States Army identified a near term requirement for a Soldier and Squad Virtual Trainer (S/SVT) to address the small unit collective training gaps, and to merge the Engagement Skills Trainer (EST) II, Call for Fire Trainer (CFFT) III, and the current non program of record Use-of-Force trainer into a single program starting in FY 2021. The S/SVT is the next generation trainer that enables Soldiers/Marines to conduct squad, weapons, and joint fires training, as well as rehearse lethal and non-lethal use-of-force interactions prior to live events to measure the unit's Mission Essential Task List proficiency, which will then provide a unit's Standards for Training Proficiency. S/SVT is comprised of Squad Immersive Trainer (SiVT); also commonly referred to as both the IVAS and the Soldier Virtual Trainer (SVT) capabilities. The first increment of the S/SVT, which is the Squad immersive Virtual Trainer (SiVT) capability, integrates into the Heads Up Display (HUD) 3.0 as part of the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS). Increments 2 and 3 of S/SVT combines individual Soldier and squad training into a single capability and includes STE Squad Capability (SSC), Weapon Skill Development (WSD), Joint Fires Training (JFT), and Use of Force (UoF), which integrate the NEXTGEN Marksmanship and the NEXTGEN Call For Fire Artillery Virtual Training capability into the STE baseline. The second phase; the SVT system design combines and integrates several individual Soldier and squad training capabilities, Weapon Skills Development (WSD), Joint Fires Training (JFT), and Use of Force (UoF). SVT is dependent and interconnected through the STE-IS software baseline . The STE-IS core cross-cutting capabilities will deliver software, application(s) and services that optimize cloud-enabled capability simulation processing to Reconfigurable Virtual Collective Trainer (RVCT), Solider Virtual Trainer (SVT), and the future Next Generation Constructive (NGC) capability to include Force-on-Force (FoF) and Force-on-Target (FoT) Live training instrumentation . FY 2021 funding of $6.739 million reinitiates the market research and prototype solutions for the SVT solution assessing industry and academia's technical readiness and availability around Weapons Skills Development, Joint Fires and Use of Force. In FY 2022, all requirements from Project SV1 - Soldier/Squad Virtual Trainer were realigned to Projects CR4 (STE One World Terrain [OWT]) and CR6 (STE Squad Immersive Virtual Trainer [SiVT]).
