Force on Force Training Systems (FoFTS)
Abstract
Force on Force Training Systems (FoFTS) This is a CMC Force Design program that provides realistic, non-live fire capabilities to perform force-on-force training. The program develops, fields and supports a suite of tactical engagement capabilities that enhance MAGTF training around the world and across the range of military operations. It is critical for allowing Marines to train in a realistic Force on Force environment in lieu of live fire training scenarios and allows for training against a peer/near peer threat. The FoFTS-Next program was recently re-branded to break out the Component capabilities that encompass FoFTS-Next. Instrumented-Training Engagement Simulation System III (I-TESS III) has changed to Marine Corps Tactical Instrumentation System-Personnel (MCTIS-P). Combat Vehicle-Tactical Engagement Simulation System (CV-TESS) has changed to Marine Corps Tactical Instrumentation System-Vehicles (MCTIS-V). Surrogate Weapons has changed to Marine Corps Tactical Instrumentation System-Surrogate Weapons (MCTIS-WS). Network and Command and Control has changed to Marine Corps Tactical Instrumentation System (MCTIS). The program includes tactical training systems such as the MCTIS-P, MCTIS-V, and advanced, instrumented, laser-based tactical engagement systems that provide realistic weapons effects, position locating, instrumentation system and enhanced After Action Review (AAR) capability to support Live-Virtual-Constructive (LVC) events in the MAGTF Training Program curriculum. The Special Effects Small Arms Marking System (SESAMS) project provides weapon modification kits to fire low-velocity marking ammunition while precluding the weapon from firing live ammunition.
