WHEN THE Royal Netherlands Army (RNLA) was looking to improve its mobile training capabilities back in 2000, Saab was awarded the task of developing a fully instrumented mobile combat training centre (MCTC). Seven years later, when the RNLA decided to further improve its MCTC capa-bilities, Saab was once again entrusted with the assignment. � is time the mission was two folded – to empower the RNLA with battalion level exercise capabilities, and to incorporate the Royal Netherland Marines in the solution.

Recently, on time and within 24 months, the upgraded MCTC was delivered to the RNLA and tested in a joint exercise with the German Army where 800 soldiers and vehicles were logged in to the Excon.

� e logistics included 3,300 individually serial numbered units of equipment. By facilitating the issue and receipt of equipment from several stations and di� erent locations simultaneously, the system kept the time taken for equipment management to a minimum.

Representing the most advanced instru-mented mobile CTC system of its kind currently available, this modular solution incorporates everything required for trans-forming the most austere training site into a full-blown battalion level CTC within the space of 48 hours.

� e containerized solution is the � rst MCTC system o� ering a number of unique features including the capacity to:

• handle 2,000+ players.

• include remote sites in exercises and follow the exercise in EXCON via 3G or satellite communication.

• integrate the Battle Management System (BMS) facilitating visualization of the BMS through the EXCON.

In short – with a mobile combat training centre from Saab, you are not only empowered with battalion level exercise capabilities, but also prepared for mission success.

Silver Bullets & Magical SolutionsHere at MS&T we have observed training technologies rise and subside. Where have

all the video studios gone? Do you remember when every military school just had to have a

video studio? Remember those interactive videodiscs? there always seems to be a next big

thing – a killer app, a silver bullet – on the horizon along with a cadre of zealous proselytizers

(and die hard sceptics). And this has been true for a century or more starting with this first big

thing – correspondence. In Great Britain, Isaac Pitman began to teach shorthand by correspond-

ence in 1840. In europe, Charles toussaint and Gustav Langenscheidt began to teach language

by correspondence in 1856. even then there were questions about whether students could learn

as well at a distance as they could face-to-face.

naturally, both sides, proponents and opponents, were eager to gather evidence to substanti-

ate their claims and so began comparative effectiveness studies trying to find the superior delivery

method. And there have been a lot of studies. the web site www.nosignificantdifference.org lists

hundreds of comparative research reports, summaries and papers. thomas Russell has collected

research studies addressing the question from as far back as 1928. the studies address the effec-

tiveness of face-to face versus correspondence, radio, instructional television, videoconference,

audio, and the Internet and more. Is any one delivery medium superior? the old guard holds face

to face as the gold standard. Progressive innovators hold the position that technology mediated

instruction is more effective and improves learning outcomes.

the bad news for both the old guard and progressive innovators is mr. Russell found, and

continues to find, that an overwhelming number of studies show that when the course materi-

als and teaching methodology are held constant, there are no significant differences between

student outcomes in a distance delivery course as compared to a face-to-face course, regardless

of the technology. Student outcomes in distance delivery courses are neither worse nor better

than those in face-to-face courses.

the good news is that we have choices in delivery media and they’ll all deliver effective

training. the bad news is we have choices, and choices bring a complex environment full of

promise, but with plenty of opportunity for missteps: there are no silver bullets; there may be

magical solutions.

While there are no silver bullets, there is a respectable arsenal. What we can do is choose

technologies that support the goals and priorities that matter to our organisations – and we see

these focussing on two issues (effectiveness is a given) – access and cost. Integrated learning

environments, any time/any place training, and the convergence of training and work are all about

access. Cost is driven by design and we control design. not only does design drive cost, it also

drives effectiveness. As tony Bates, distributed learning pioneer, states: “the mantra for controlling

the costs of web-based learning is 'design, design, design’”. And so it is for effectiveness as well.

Fifty years ago, political scientist Harold Lasswell explained that some policies are all about

symbolism, with little or no impact on real-world outcomes. He called such actions “magical

solutions,” explaining “political symbolization has its catharsis functions.” Symbolism is of course

both necessary and important in politics, and politics are a fact of life in the military. But, a focus

on ‘magical solutions’ leaves little room for the practical. For training to actually succeed in

making a difference in our organisations, interventions must move beyond “magical solutions”

to those that actually work. this means closing the large gap between aspirational goals and

actual policy implementation. Design is the key to providing decision makers the information and

methods to close that gap or even avoid “magical solutions” altogether.

Design is the best defence against silver bullets and magical solutions. Successful training

interventions are not about technology, but, whether at course level or systems level, all about

design – design that is framed, ultimately, by mission performance.

Meeting needs: Large, Small, Unexpected, and Urgent


Innovation and creativity comes in many guises, sometimes breakthrough concepts, more

often leveraging the building blocks of prior ingenuity. In the military and homeland security simulation and train-ing community, there is a diverse array of new-market thinking. Training appli-cations for previously overlooked needs. Addressing humanitarian aspects of con-flict and disaster. niche solutions for tra-ditional programs. even the resurrection of old iconic names and a response to a nemesis thought to be long extinct.

Something Blue,Something Old Retro is in again, even in military train-ing. Who would have imagined the World War II-era phrase “Blue Box” as the trade name for next-generation syn-thetic environments? And when you drew up that five-year forecast last fall, did you remember to include anti-piracy courseware?

link Simulation & Training, the l-3 communications unit which resurrected the legacy of edwin link (who patented the first viable flight simulator in 1929), has dusted off the legendary “Blue Box” term and applied it to a new service which augments the limitations of a real-world operational system – such as con-trolling an unmanned vehicle – with the broader perspective available through

synthetic environments. The resulting blended reality provides “a totally dif-ferent experience, an instant informa-tion impact” for enhanced situational awareness and critical decision-making, according to Frank Delisle, vice president of engineering & technology at link.

link unveiled “Blue Box hD” at an unmanned vehicle systems conference in August as an extension of their hD World simulation product line. Delisle describes it as a bridge between the three domains

“Innovation,” according to Watts humphrey, sometimes referred to as the father of software quality, “is the process of turning ideas into manufacturable and marketable form.” Rick Adams reports on some representative recent training breakthroughs.

of training, mission rehearsal, and opera-tions. “The lines between them are start-ing to blur quite a bit.”

The dilemma for pilots/operators of unmanned vehicles, whether air, ground, or subsea, is that the onboard sensors provide very narrow, two-dimensional fields of view. The thermal imager on the UK Phoenix, for example, yields a 60x40 degree perspective. The infrared camera on the US Marine corps Scaneagle offers a scant 18-degree picture.

This “looking through a soda straw” effect poses “cognitive difficul-ties processing the visual information” received from sensors, notes Roger chadwick and fellow researchers at

link, which is responsible for the US Air Force Predator trainers, has been showing prospective customers mission demonstrations without, then with Blue Box hD augmenta-tion. Bob ellithrope, senior vice president for strategic develop-ment, thinks the adoption cycle for the perspective-broadening technology will be relatively quick. “The need is so high. Users already want it now.”

And if reaching back to WWII weren’t enough, how about training for a threat that was thought to have been extinguished 150 years ago – high-seas piracy? The return of the days of pirates is “hard to conceive,” wrote Philip gosse... in 1932!

To help deal with future scenarios similar to the Maersk Alabama hijacking, the global Maritime and Transportation School (gMATS) located at the US Merchant Marine Acad-emy (USMMA) in Kings Point, new york, conducted a two-day Piracy countermeasures Seminar for the military, government agencies, police departments, mariners union, and shipping industry representatives. The seminar focused on preven-tive measures to thwart boarding of a ship, including eva-sive maneuvers and non-lethal deterrence such as electrified barbed wire, fire hoses, and even soap lathered on the sides of the vessel.

The final lesson was a role-playing simulation in which brigands stormed a replica ship’s bridge. Reportedly the good guys (a freighter captain, a cop, a Swiss Army major, and a pri-vate security expert) “never saw the pirates coming.”

Take some comfort, though, that captain Jon helmick claims, “Anti-piracy training has been part of the USMMA’s curriculum for at least the past 18 years.”

Collateral Considerationsnow that the war in Iraq is “over,” so to speak, attention has shifted to stabilization and rebuilding. At the national Train-ing center, Fort Irwin, california, Iraqi nationals who fled their country and other “actors” help train not only American soldiers but also civil government provincial reconstruction teams. The role-playing takes place in a dozen “villages” and a couple of larger “cities” on the sprawling Mojave Desert complex.

Merchants chant in Arabic. calls to prayer blare over loud-speakers. Store signs are written in Farsi. none of the actor/villagers are allowed to speak english, and all encounters must be carried out with an interpreter.

It’s often impossible to distinguish friend from foe. Insur-gents lurk inside crowds, maintain an underground tunnel net-work, smuggle in weapons, and plot nearly continuous attacks on US and Iraqi forces being trained.

“We do everything just like we do it in Iraq,” says “Sam,” deputy mayor of Medina Wasl, which simulates a developed section of Baghdad, complete with shops, apartments and light industrial areas. “If we save one life, it’s worth a lot. I owe it to my country. I owe it to Iraq.” Many of the actors have family still in Iraq, so decline to reveal their true identities.

Just outside geneva, Switzerland, new delegates from the International committee of the Red cross (IcRc) learn how to negotiate military checkpoints while aiding victims or conflict. Delegates are not weekend volunteers – they must be prepared to deploy to any country without their family for 24 months. Among their largest current operations are garden spots of Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sri lanka, and chad.

new Mexico State University’s human-Robotic-Interaction laboratory. “The lack of awareness operators have of the local space surrounding their vehicles … may result in a number of navigational mishaps including collisions with obstacles, losing vehicles in unseen voids, and disorientation.” even experienced pilots struggle with the limited amount of information available from their skybot.

What link proposes is to generate a 360-degree 3D perspec-tive of the remote vehicle’s surroundings – something similar to what a fighter pilot might see outside his canopy – by augment-ing the onboard sensor feeds with a highly realistic synthetic environment using leading-edge simulation technologies: sub-meter resolution geo-specific terrain, models of other vehicles, weapons and other threats, structures, weather conditions, even civilian populations. It brings to mind a modification of the old Memorex recording tape tag line: “Is it real, or is it simulation-augmented reality?”

“The content and realism is so real, so high fidelity, includ-ing the physics properties, it’s hard to tell what’s simulated and what’s not,” Delisle says. “It’s like they’re really in the cockpit.”

As the aviation community and the public celebrate Neil

Armstrong’s first bootprint on the dusty lunar surface 40 years

ago, the simulation community in parallel pays homage to pioneers

like Ray long, Jerry Purser, Dick Taylor, Shef Tabeek, nelson Merritt,

and several hundred other engineers and technicians who built and

continually modified the Apollo simulators which trained the astro-

naut crews for every nASA manned mission to the moon.

The initial 1963-64 contract values seem woefully small by

today’s norm - US$9.5 million for three Apollo Mission Simulators

(AMS) plus $7 million for a pair of lunar excursion Module (leM)

trainers across a development span of six years. The lead designer

was link, then part of general Precision, with subcontracts from

north American Rockwell for the AMS devices and grumman for

the leMs.

The AMS’s were enormous, occupying most of a “clean room”

hangar at Broome county Airport in Binghamton, new york, before

shipment to houston, Texas and cape Kennedy, Florida.

For simulation, the Apollo program marked the transition from

replicating an analog spacecraft environment – requiring functional

and hybrid simulations – to the all-digital domain of the Space Shut-

tle. Indeed, one of the key achievements of the shoot-for-the-moon

effort was a “simulation within a simulation” by computational

Analysis’ James Raney to work around the problem of re-coding

MIT’s fixed-point 16-bit Apollo guidance computer to run on hon-

eywell’s far faster floating-point 24-bit DDP-224 systems that pow-

ered the trainers.

At its peak, software development alone required 175 program-

mers, who generated 350,000 lines of code for the two types of

simulators.

A key advantage of the digital simulator computers, with status

recorded on magnetic tape, was that crews could return to a critical

point in the simulation rather than re-starting from the beginning.

This flexibility proved to be life-saving during the uncomfort-

ably dramatic Apollo 13 “houston, we’ve got a problem” mission in

April 1970. As depicted in the 1995 movie, Tom Mattingly, gene cer-

nan, and several other astronauts used the highly faithful simulators

to test energy-saving measures and re-entry options to successfully

help bring the crew back to earth. “The countless improvisations

that nursed the crippled spacecraft along were in large measure the

product of an extraordinarily elaborate assembly of simulators...”

noted the new york Times.

Purser, then link’s operations director for houston and the

cape, stated, “even more significant... was the training which they

had provided the Apollo 13 crew.”

The Apollo program had its lighthearted moments as well.

When entertaining visitors, technicians sometimes inserted a bug

into the system – a literal beetle or housefly placed on the moon

surface modelboard, which would appear like a gigantic monster

through the Farrand visual system. For French president georges

Pompidou, they positioned a replica eiffel Tower in a crater. And

when golf legend Arnold Palmer approached the simulated moon,

his landing target was a tiny putting green.

If you’d like to see the Apollo simulators up close, the Kirk-

patrick Air and Space Museum in oklahoma city has a command

module trainer and the cradle of Aviation Museum in garden city,

new york displays a lunar Module sim.

One giant Leap for Simulation – remembering apollo

At the ecogia training center, teams of delegates deal with scenarios involving wounded and refugees from bombed vil-lages, the need to secure food, water, and medical supplies, the threat of marauding rebel forces, and the harassing presence of journalists. “In reality, you are often overwhelmed by the needs,” comments delegate IcRc Marcal Izard. “People think you can do miracles.”

niche needsSometimes innovation is dealing with an unanticipated situa-tion. When Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles began rolling over at an alarming rate (in non-hostile incidents), the US Army responded with an MRAP egress trainer (MeT). Mounted on a frame that enables 360-degree rotation, the rollover simula-tor can use cabins from several different configurations – initially using damaged MRAPS from the field.

Soldiers are taught to deal with partial and complete rollo-vers, as well as jammed doors, and once exited must secure the area and assess injuries.

The MeTs are produced at the Red River Army Depot, Tex-arkana, Texas. currently 25 trainers are fielded or in process with funding for an additional 99 to cover approximately 12,000 fielded MRAP vehicles.

Fidelity Technologies (Reading, Pennsylvania) is developing a simulator for an often overlooked group, forward air control-lers and forward observers. The FAc/Fo trainer will simulate terrain, obstacles, various climates, and day and night combat conditions for a realistic view of the enemy in close air support and artillery operations. Fidelity’s customer is the norwegian Armed Forces.

British soldiers en route to Afghanistan will train in Kenya on a laser-based simulation produced by Sweden’s Saab. The man-aged training service will consist of a Battle group-sized Deploy-able Tactical engagement Simulation (DTeS) system for three years. “The DTeS system supports a number of tactical training objectives, of which Military operations in Urban Terrain (MoUT) is a major component,” explains Anders Jonzon, Saab commu-nications director. The deal was almost “scuppered,” according to The Times of london, by a UK inter-agency tiff over whose budget should fund the need.

Israeli Aerospace Industries and Inter-coastal electron-ics (Mesa, Arizona) are integrating five different training sys-tems into a joint training capability for an unnamed customer. The system of systems will incorporate training capabilities for helicopter, attack helicopter engagement, the ehud air combat maneuvering instrumentation (AcMI), air defense, and ground forces combat training center.

The lockheed Martin/VT group “Ascent” joint venture is using the SIMbox from Simigon (herzliya, Israel and orlando, Florida) for the advanced jet training phase of the UK Military Flying Training System (UKMFTS). SIMbox is a Pc-based soft-ware platform providing the ability to create, modify, manage, and deploy simulation-based content across a multitude of domains.

FlightSafety International expects an increase in system throughput and simulator reliability from UeI’s “Racktangle” interface, as well as a reduction in equipment and floor space requirements from the ultra-compact gigabit ethernet design. The I/o can be installed directly on the simulator, eliminating “literally thousands of wires.” ms&t

MS&T What are the most important ele-ments of the February 5, 2009 update to the Strategic Plan for Transforming DoD Training? Dan Gardner I think that one of the things we tried to expand upon was this whole idea of integrated operations training, or training for integrated opera-tions. And by that we mean training with literally everybody that is in theater, but prior to arrival on theater. So we’re talking about the services, governmental agen-cies, our Coalition partners, but we are also talking about how do we incorporate industry, how to we incorporate non-governmental organizations, private vol-untary organizations, academia, in other words, in what I think is the term “Whole of Nation” or “Whole of Society”. In other words, what resources does this nation bring to the theater, and in an operational

sense and not necessarily just in a mili-tary sense. By and large, in some of these operations, we are very much going to be in a supporting role. The Department of Defense would be supporting the other agencies, and in particular the Depart-ment of State or US AID. So we have to be able to train in that type of environment before we deploy to theater. And that’s been our goal, that’s been our mantra from the start with the Training Trans-formation Initiative, and I think that quite honestly that we have made some very excellent progress in doing that. MS&T With the Whole of Nation or Whole of Society concepts, you are refer-ring to not only all of the US working together, but allied and Coalition nations working together as well. Could you give an example of how other countries are participating with the US?

DG The VIKING Exercises with Sweden, where we are just renewing a multi-year Memorandum of Understanding with the Swedes. There again is the oppor-tunity to bring other capabilities to the theater of operations besides the mili-tary capabilities. I think that is extremely important, especially in the world where we are operating today with regular warfare and a counterinsurgency focus right now. I think that without working together we won’t get the job done. And the only way to work effectively together is to train effectively together. That means we all need to be together in the training world.MS&T The Combatant Commander Exercise and Engagement Training Transformation (CE2T2) initiative is important. Would you please provide us with an update on this effort?DG The 2006 Quadrennial Defense Review directed that we study greater consolidation of joint training. The Com-bat Commanders program was approved that fall for the FY 2008 President’s budget. This is commander staff train-ing and planning for and participation in joint exercises. Then that CE2T2 was combined and integrated with the exist-ing T2 program. This was a consolidation in response to further T2 consolidation efforts. Most recently in the CE2T2 area is the addition of the African Command to the Combatant Command list, and US Forces Korea transitioning the Korean Command are the latest developments that we are supporting.MS&T What will be the major focus for the 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review and what are its ramifications for the T2 effort?DG Our Next Generation Training Strat-egy, or Training the Next Generation Joint Force, is to be put out at the same time as the 2010 QDR. It’s about training the future Joint Force.

This document is focusing on all of the new technologies. There will be a lot of things integrated in this report, but certainly the integration of new technolo-gies and greater computing power give us more capability in a number of areas, including live, virtual and constructive

integration, with a focus on virtual simu-lator worlds as a training capability. One of the real challenges is going to be find-ing the best balance of the LVC environ-ments, because what you want is the same or better training more efficiently, with less time or less money or less wear and tear on equipment. The next thrust of the Next Generation Training Strategy will be bringing Irregular Warfare into balance with the other warfare categories.MS&T A critical area you have cited in the past is joint training with such US governmental agencies such as the State Department and the Agency for Interna-tional Development. What are some of the latest developments in this area? DG The Department of State and US AID in particular are building their deployable manpower base. A Civil Response Core is being developed through the Depart-ment of State and Office of the Director for Reconstruction and Stabilization. This is making great progress and starting to bear fruit. We also had the first Agency Civilian Military Integration course started July 12, with the Department of State and US AID personnel participat-ing with the First Army and the Indiana National Guard. This is a joint effort. JKDDC has developed a DoD 101 training course to expose DoD to the other agen-cies. And the other agencies are develop-ing courses with JKDDC’s assistance. We are also providing support for the officer training for the Provisional Reconstruc-tion Teams going to Iraq, but also the ones that will be going to Afghanistan in the future.MS&T Since Barack Obama became President of the United States, members of the new administration announced far-reaching changes in foreign politics and revision of military policy. What impact might that have on the training, and more specifically on training transformation?DG I certainly don’t have insights into the high hierarchy of the Obama admin-istration, but from what I can gather they are a technically very savvy organization. Technology is a very well understood capability, and they are going to take advantage of that. So to the extent that we can utilize technology in the defense capabilities, I would see even greater use then we have today. So I foresee that training will continue to be a major and important part of the policy.MS&T In time of narrow budgets there is normally a tendency to cut training

funding for the benefit of operational funds. Do you see that risk now?DG It is a truism across the board, because training is relatively easy to cut. So it becomes an easy, but probably not the best, target. I think that is a possibil-ity, of course. But I am an optimist when it comes to this. I think that training is very valuable and important, and shouldn’t be the first thing to be cut. It is our job to quantify the value of training, to ensure that people are aware of it. So if when they consider cutting it, they understand the cost of doing that.MS&T But do you have the means to measure the value of training?DG In certain areas we are better in

measuring than in others, computer-based training, for example. We can give people pre-tests, and then train some people with and some people without and make sure that the end product is equal or better. As a rule, that has been proven that all taken together, the output is better. You get as good trained for less money, or you get more training for the same amount of money. On the average, overall our analysis is showing in the review that it is positive. I think that will get better over time, as technology gets more refined, and as we do a better job in matching technology to the individual, we will get a better return on investment. I see that happening.

the enablers – An UpdateThe T2 initiative has three significant enablers: the Joint Knowl-edge Development and Distribution Capability (JKDDC), which focuses on joint individual training and education; the Joint National Training Capability (JNTC), which focuses on joint col-lective training; and the Joint Assessment and Enabling Capabil-ity (JAEC), which focuses on T2 Program performance assess-ment and supporting tools and processes. Here’s an update on these training transformation enablers.

JKDDCThe DoD and the US Joint Forces Command (JFCOM) are newly refocusing on improved training for small military units. Histori-cally, four of five US service members killed in action have been in light infantry units, and in Iraq and Afghanistan, 89 percent of those killed in action were members of small units.

“Small units are in the spotlight now and for good reason,” said JKDDC Program Manager Joe Camacho. “We’ve looked, especially as we deal with this hybrid threat, at the versatility, the flexibility, the connectivity of small units and what they allow us to do on the battlefield is a significant game changer. We imbue general purposes forces with those same kind of skills, and we do that through training and education.”

JKDDC has developed the Small Group Scenario Trainer (SGST) application and recently completed formal acceptance testing of this courseware. The application is now available via the Joint Knowledge Online (JKO) portal. According to Camacho, the SGST is a web- delivered, ‘battle staff’, small group training application for improving training readiness of individuals and small staffs. It was developed specifically with internal COCOM ‘battle staff’ training in mind, he explained.

The SGST complements existing collective mission rehearsal exercises and can assist ‘battle staffs’ and small groups with problem solving as it facilitates contingency planning and course of action analysis, Camacho continued. The SGST, JKO-based framework allows for reusable and flexible scenario creation, val-idation, exercise and after-action review. Other features include real-time remediation, learning content navigation, tools for cre-ating avatar delivered performance support, as well as delivering these avatars for the purpose of stimulating critical thinking and learning.

Camacho noted another area vital to mission success in the current operating environment - improved language and cultural training both for military leadership and individual warfighters. In response to this need, JKDDC has also recently developed the Virtual Cultural Awareness Trainer (VCAT). This simulation-based trainer is currently in development testing and expected to be available through the JKO later this summer. The initial VCAT focuses on the cultures of the Horn of Africa. Additional regional requirements will be developed as sponsors and stake-holders are identified, he added.

“Leadership is going to be the cornerstone we win this war on,” Camacho said. “Educating and grooming leaders with the right experience, the right understanding, and the right perspec-tive to be able to work in very inflexible, uncertain environments is critical to how we execute and how we operate now and in the future. The VCAT is a web-and game-based training applica-tion via the JKO that teaches cultural awareness using simulated missions.The VCAT uses advanced learning techniques such as game-based learning, storytelling, intelligent tutoring and reme-diation to help learners quickly and efficiently develop opera-tional cultural knowledge and acquire cultural skills.”

JntCThe Joint National Training Capability (JNTC) and its Joint Train-ing and Experimentation Network (JTEN), links US and Coalition military units together throughout the world so that they can conduct joint live, virtual and constructive training exercises.

According to Captain Bill Kovach, Chief of the JNTC Training Development Group and Colonel Tom Walrond of that Group’s Solutions Division, they are working with several Coalition part-ners, such as the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada. The JTEN connections to the United Kingdom Joint Multinational Interoperability Assurance Network (UK JMNIAN) and the Australian Defence Training and Experimentation Network (AS DTEN) were recently made permanent. Initial connections are also being made to the Canadian CF-JTEN, they reported.

Meanwhile in the US, the JTEN is expanding to Shaw Air Force Base, Sumter, SC; Tyndall AFB, Panama City, FL; and Ft. Sill, Lawton, OK. JTEN personnel are in the process of schedul-ing site surveys and have all required baseline equipment in the procurement process. In Fiscal Year 2008, the JTEN expanded to four sites, Ft. Drum, Watertown, NY; Ft.Belvoir/National Capi-tal Region (NCR); Ft. Sam Houston/San Antonio, Texas; and Ft. Campbell, Clarksville, TN. The NCR and San Antonio regions are being built as metropolitan hubs, which will service a number of different customers in each region. Installation at Fort Drum is complete and the others are in various stages.

As of FY 2009, several major Coalition exercises have been conducted over the JTEN with UK and Australian partners and their networks. They were Swift Eagle 08, Unified Endeavor 09-1,

2009 Annual International Flight Crew Training ConferenceA Training and Regulatory Environment for Tomorrow

The 2009 International Flight Crew Training Conference will examine and progress the issues raised by the changes anticipated in the training and regulatory environment over the next fi ve years. Whilst there has been much discussion and debate on how best to move from the separate legal frameworks under National Aviation Authorities to a single unifi ed European Aviation Safety Agency, certain grey areas remain. This two-day Conference aims to address these issues and propose ways whereby some of the uncertainties may be resolved.

a UK - USMC Afghanistan Mission Rehearsal Exercise MRX, and Talisman Sabre 09. The Coalition Virtual Flag 09-4 is scheduled for September 2009. In Fiscal Year 2008, the JTEN supported 88 events, totaling 26, 683 hours of support. In just the first two quarters of FY 2009, the lightest two training quarters of the year, the JTEN has supported 57 events, totaling 17, 327 hours.

JAeC The T2 Joint Assessment and Enabling Capability (JAEC) measures how well transformed training and education meets validated readiness requirements. According to JAEC Interim Director Colonel Joseph Thome, in FY 2009 his organization transitioned from a biannual to an annual assessment process to provide greater flexibility in the current dynamic operational environment. Other considerations dictating the transition to an annual assessment were the consolidation of most of the Joint Training programs into a defense-wide account and the need to produce quarterly data to quickly identify trends or anomalies, Thome added. Focuses of the FY 2009 assessment include joint training accomplished by military organizations prior to deploy-ment, Irregular Warfare training at major service training cent-ers, Whole of Government and Multinational participation in US military training exercises, and the impact of select Joint training enablers, he explained.

“Although we are in the data collection and analysis phase of the Fiscal Year 09 assessment process, one area which has proven itself in past assessments and is on track to have another record-breaking year is the JTEN,” Thome said. “In previous assessments, we saw a marked increase, nearly three times as great, in exercise participants when using the JTEN versus those exercises without the JTEN. By using the JTEN, the training community can participate from their home station, rather than deploying to a distant location. Beyond the reduction in PER-STEMPO (wear and tear on service members and their families), organizations save travel funds and wear and tear on their equip-ment. By using the JTEN at home station, valuable training days are conserved for other critical events.” – Chuck Weirauch ms&t

One of the eight major mis-sions of the U.S. Coast Guard is domestic icebreak-

ing; another is providing aids to naviga-tion marking the nation’s waterways. When the 63 year old Great lakes ice-breaker UScGc MAcKinAW (WAGB 83) was to be replaced, the decision was to construct a new one-of-a-kind ship that could perform both major missions, as well as, support law enforcement, environmental and lifesaving missions. thus, the new MAcKinAW (WlBB 30) is unique, equipped with state-of-the-art technologies not found on any other cG ship. the systems onboard are complex and ship operation carries a high consequence of error. the MAcK-inAW’s sophisticated electronics and fully-integrated control and monitoring systems, dynamic positioning system, her unique Azipod® propulsion sys-tem and optimal manning presented steep training challenges. the nature of MAcKinAW’s electric pod propulsion system – 2 x 3.35 MW pods - affords the operator with maneuvering capabilities

well beyond that seen on conventional vessels equipped with rudders used for steering and maneuvering. But, there is no ship’s wheel! Just pod and throttle positions.

there is potential for loss of life and property if the MAcKinAW operators make errors in ship handling or naviga-tion whether in manual or dynamic posi-tioning modes. the leveraged value of newly trained (and competent) person-nel using the new equipment is high and impacts safety of the crew, commercial and recreational boaters and the public along the US Great lakes; accurate and thorough crew preparation is essential. clearly, innovative interventions were needed to prepare crew members to operate the ship.

Simulation and SimulatorsSimulator and simulation decisions were under pinned by a “total ship training” philosophy. From initial acquisition plan-ning, the philosophy was that UScGc MAcKinAW’s training system would center on the ship as the focal point for

the management of crew competencies, development, and training. the total ship training philosophy aimed to:• Migrate traditional shore-based train-ing and technical support to the ship using training courses, embedded train-ing, interactive courseware, on-the-job training, training with simulators, quali-fication workbooks, job aids and built-in electronic performance support systems for maintenance and operator training, and limit resident training at remote sites to existing programs; and.• Integratetrainingintoeverydayopera-tions and maximize the use of embed-ded training aids and other performance support interventions to minimize formal resident training requirements.

performance analysts worked closely with the ship’s sponsor and acquisition program during the construction of the MAcKinAW to determine the best meth-ods to prepare crewmembers to navi-gate and handle the icebreaker. Since there was to be only one ship like this, traditional training methods of setting up classroom instruction off site were deemed not practical. Analysts looked at the psychomotor skills, perception, decision making and action needed by operators of the MAcKinAW. operators needed an opportunity to practice navi-gation and handling tasks to proficiency with hands-on activities. individual learning is important but some inter-action with others on the bridge was also needed. Analysis determined that it was not practical to train on the live equipment due to severe consequences caused by inadequate performance and safety hazards inherent with improper performance. the selected solution? place navigation and dynamic position-ing simulators in a training room on the ship, and provide ready access to individ-uals and teams for training and practice. to be effective, a high level of realism was needed.

MAcKinAW is equipped with a ship-board Kongsberg polaris desktop simu-lator. this visual simulator integrates controls and information screens with a Kongsberg Databridge Radar, Kongsberg SeaMap EcDiS, and Kongsberg Simrad dynamic positioning into an integrated

Unexpected BenefitAn unexpected benefit of the shipboard simulators is the capability to manage maneuver risk. MAcKinAW’s simulator is an excellent risk management tool. the ship is home ported in a narrow, shallow channel that creates significant bank suction and shallow water effect, requiring entry and exit at speeds limited to 3 or 4 knots. the lack of horizontal sta-

bility when reducing speed also compli-cates this mooring. prior to transiting this port, existing wind and current condi-tions can be entered into the simulator as part of an evolution simulation scenario. By running this simulation, operators gain information on the actions that will be needed for the evolution. What was originally considered a marginal risk evo-lution could prove to be high risk but this is determined and planned for as a result of the operator’s practice on the simula-tor. the MAcKinAW has incorporated use of the ship simulator into shipboard

risk assessment procedures whenever possible. the simulator helps reduce the risk of human error by allowing repeated practice of performance to mitigate the steep learning curve and the challenges associated with frequent transfer of deck watch officers.

lessons learnedthe commercial off-the-shelf visual sim-ulator was integrated with the Dynamic positioning simulator, but the MAcK-inAW ship’s model had to be updated to reflect actual ship performance and con-figuration. For example, a 10 per cent Azi-pod thrust moved the model at 10 knots, the bow thruster simulation was fully effective even at 15 knots, the dynamic positioning simulator contained no “Remote control” feature, no Dp “lever Active” feature and no Dp “EcDiS import” feature. Besides considering the initial cost of purchasing shipboard simulators, it is important to budget for modification of the simulator’s software to reflect the specific ship’s capabilities. this cost for commercial-off-the-shelf proprietary soft-ware simulators can be significant.

in this case, the software is custom-ized for one vessel type only—MAcK-

inAW. the system simulates bank effect (suction and cushion), draft resistance, ice resistance, tug and mooring line effects, anchor resistance and weather and light-ing conditions. Wind direction and force, effects of weather, tidal strengths and cur-rents are built into the simulations. Multi-vessel traffic encounters in actual ports within the cutters area of responsibility are part of the simulation. the look and feel of the simulation is authentic. Actual mis-sion area models had to be built, including the port at cheboygan, Mi, the Straits of Mackinac, and the St Mary’s River.

When determining what types and vendors of shipboard simulators to pur-chase, it is important to consult with other organizations already involved in use of maritime simulation. For the MAcKinAW’s decision making, analysts reviewed commercial maritime simula-tors at: Memorial University, St. Johns, newfoundland; canadian naval Simu-lator, Halifax, nova Scotia; and Kongs-berg desktop simulators at coast Guard innovation Expo, Savannah, GA, StAR center, Ft lauderdale, Fl and commer-cial cruise ships, port Miami, Fl.

When creation of traditional train-ing is not cost-effective for one-of-a-kind

vessels, the embedded and onboard sim-ulation will provide the training supports and practice the crew needs. in addition, simulation software can enable opera-tors to simulate actual sailing and mis-sion conditions so that the simulator can function as a risk management tool. For risk management, the crew can rehearse the entry or exit of a difficult port in spe-cific weather conditions, such as high wind or fog, before attempting the opera-tion from the bridge. ms&t

I was watching a History Chan-nel re-creation of the Battle of Cowpens, a decisive American vic-

tory in 1781 in the colonies’ War for Inde-pendence. general Daniel Morgan’s mili-tia and continentals routed col. Banastre (Benny) Tarleton’s dragoons and fusiliers near present-day Spartanburg, South carolina. What struck me was that the Americans engaged the British regulars in a traditional open-field, row-on-row formation – rather than the hide-behind-trees “Minutemen” guerilla tactics we typically associate with the Revolution.

even through the two world wars, and as recently as the first gulf War, von clausewitz’s symmetrical style head-to-head confrontation between massed armies was the norm.

Afghanistan and Iraq certainly have changed that. The fields of engagement are now the urban canyons of sprawling cities or the labyrinths of tribal villages. The high ground is now rooftops instead

of hilltops. Buildings block lines-of-sight and disrupt radio frequencies, tun-nels and sewers become enemy escape routes, and main roadways can be turned into ambush choke points.

With migration and births concen-trated in urban areas, military engage-ment in densely populated areas is likely to be the future norm.

This realization has spurred a rapid increase the past decade in programs designed to yield information superior-ity over the enemy. Sometimes called network-centric operations (nco) or net-centric Warfare (ncW), I prefer the wry British acronym of FISh & chIPS (Fighting In Someone’s house and causing havoc In People’s Streets).

The military, suggests M. christine Boyer, an urban historian and profes-sor at Princeton University, “must be trained to perceive and counter enemy deceptive efforts through urban exer-cises and simulation models; its intel-

ligence analysts must be able to dis-cern signals from noise, and they must develop and know how to operate reli-able and credible intelligence collec-tion technology.”

“The objective,” the professor notes, “is to put a cursor over the target. Thus it is essential that military planners map a city down to its street addresses, feed-ing as much information on strategic buildings and sites into a database so that during operations this preplanned playbook can be shared among air plan-ners, aircrews, and ground forces as they work towards a common goal.”

Following are just a few of the repre-sentative net-centric infrastructure, tool

In the new urban-centric battlegrounds, information becomes an even more critical element... even to the level of room detail in a building. Rick Adams explores some developments in networked command and control training.

infrastructure, tools & DisplaysRheinmetall Defence is developing the IT infrastructure, hardware, and software to link both simulated and real-world combat systems at 27 locations in ger-many (and one in the United States) as a test environment for the Bundeswehr. Known as SuTBw (Simulations und Tes-tumgebung der Bundeswehr), the links between systems will enable the ger-man Armed Forces to conduct complex exercises involving ground, air, and naval assets. Foreign combat systems and c4I systems may also be incorporated. The “system of systems” approach is expected to play a role in analysis and planning, procurement, training, and even specific military operations. IABg, which has a simulation and test center for defence and security in ottobrunn, is a partner on the program.

cambridge, Massachusetts neigh-bors Scalable network Technologies (SnT) and VT MÄK have introduced a network centric Forces toolkit for creating battlefield simulations where network communications are a central component. Their belief that “future US and Western allies’ military operations depend on a wireless communications infrastructure that supports on-the-move communications” is the driver for mode-ling both network conditions and human behaviors.

The toolkit includes SnT’s simulation engine for predicting network perform-ance (Qualnet) and MÄK’s battlefield scenario generator (VR-Forces). The companies claim the toolkit can deter-mine how factors such as urban terrain, dropped data packets, network traffic surges, and even weather conditions may impact battle outcomes.

Presagis has developed a new “wiz-ard” for their creator product to more easily generate simulated 3D building interiors. Users can now “define a build-ing in terms of floors, entrances, walls, windows, stairs, and roof slopes, as well as create cutaway views,” according to vice president nick giannias. “This is very important for mission planning.”

The building models can then be exported in openFlight or oneSAF for-mats and used by Presagis’ TerraVista

To display the synthetic terrain, build-ings, people, and vehicles, christie Dig-ital has started shipping “the first leD-based SXgA+ (1400x1050) and WUXgA (1920x1200) resolution projection display system” for control room and video wall applications. Using a single Texas Instru-ments digital light processor (DlP) chip, the christie “entero” projector is said to be a “zero maintenance” design. The solid state leDs are rated at more than 50,000 hours – over five years of dependa-ble operation – and there are no consum-able components such as lamps, filters, or color wheels to replace. The 600 AnSI lumens projection engine is capable of illuminating christie’s 50-inch, 67-inch and 72-inch display cubes.

Barco and Thales have converted their collaboration on the Battlespace Transformation centres (BcT) into a partnership to market networked visu-alization solutions. “The merging of geospatial information, imagery, shared situational awareness, and multi-source intelligence calls for tailored information display to the commander” … network-ready, content-aware, and on demand,” declares Jacques Rabain, Thales land & Joint Systems Division VP. Barco’s visualization technology is in operation at Thales BTc France, the netherlands, norway, Belgium, Spain, and Switzerland.

Alion Science and DSFederal are focusing on much smaller displays, developing touch-screen applications for training on Apple iPhone and iPod hand-held devices. They refer to the mobile, web-based system as electronic collabo-ration capability (ec2), and anticipate that soldiers deployed in remote areas such as Iraq and Afghanistan may use it for mission familiarization, exercise preparation, and after-action analysis. Another use might be quick language translation or retrieving data on an improvised explosive device.

505th command and control Wing joined virtually from hurlburt Field, Florida. “We’re like the man behind the curtain in the ‘Wiz-ard of oz,” said one exercise controller.

The 505th “flew” all virtual blue force and red force aircraft utilizing the US-only Air Warfare Simulation (AWSIM). For “beans, bombs, and bullets” (logistics and support tasking orders), they used the coalition-friendly lockheed Martin Theater Battle Man-agement core System (TBMcS).

Meantime, the Marines and soldiers assaulted the UoTF, which resembles an urban town with a city center, complex housing buildings, a school, hospital, and other facilities. Using cameras and other sensors embedded by cubic throughout the UoTF, observer monitored group and individual actions for post-exercise review. “It’s important for a unit to know their strengths and weaknesses, what works and what doesn’t. This facility allows units to enhance the abilities of their tactics, equipment, and leaders,” explains colonel Ashley gunder, commander of the Australian Army combat Training center.

This month, for the first time, networks and simulators from non-US countries (Australia, canada, and the UK) will be plugged into a Virtual Flag exercise. The scenario will be a simulated Afghan wargame – a blend of low-intensity conflict (requested by the Aussies and canadians) and major combat operations (requested by the British).

A global network will allow the UK Royal Air Force to fly simulated Typhoon fighters and Tornado fighter-bombers (in Waddington) alongside virtual Royal Australian Air Force F-18 fighters (Williamtown and canberra), canadian Forces cF-18 fighters (Shirley’s Bay), and American B1 and B2 bombers and F-15 and F-16 fighters. British crews will man e-3 AWAcS sims

at the distributed mission operations center at Kirtland AFB, new Mexico; US AWAcS crews will participate from Tinker AFB, oklahoma.

“We never have enough live coalition training, and that’s how we are going to war,” notes USAF Major Michele Boyko, exercise director. “If we don’t learn it here, then where?”

An Air Force Modeling and Simulation Training Toolkit (AFMSTT), developed by prime contractor Accenture for the USAF electronic Systems center, is being upgraded so it can handle homeland defense scenarios such as establishing no-fly zones to deal with potential terrorist threats or disasters. The modernization will follow guidelines of the navy/Air Force net-work enterprise Services Infrastructure (neSI), an outline for net-centric applications designed to overcome legacy stovepipe sys-tems and incorporate more Service oriented Architecture (SoA) components.

For example, AWSIM did not have the granularity necessary to model individual commercial aircraft, essential for develop-ing an application that simulates flight patterns at Washington, Dc’s Ronald Reagan national and Dulles airports for a desired airspace-clearing exercise. The north American Aerospace Defense command needs “to learn how to handle an emergency that requires the coordination of everyone from the President of the United States to a pilot in an F-16. There’s no other way to replicate that other than through simulation,” says David Votipka of Accenture/gestalt.

eventually the AFMSTT may be able to model the 30,000 daily commercial air traffic flights nationwide, as well as their interplay with military flights – even distinguishing an airliner that has been hijacked by terrorists.

Fort harrison in Montana, whose rugged hills somewhat resemble the Afghan terrain, incorporates a national guard urban training village which cubic is equipping with a deploya-ble command center, gPS-enabled tracking systems, and mobile communications equipment.

can be linked to a common operational picture. cubic’s tracking system communicates the position of soldiers and vehicles up to 12-36 kilometers (depending on terrain) to training range relay equipment.

The US Marine corps’ combined Arms command and con-trol Trainer Upgrade System (cAccTUS), a project led by cole engineering, will support multi-echelon and distributed training opportunities for battalion/regimental staffs, Marine expedition-ary units, and their fire support teams. The upgrade will also integrate the trainer with the Joint national Training capability (JnTc) live/virtual/constructive capability. Functional areas will include force application, command and control, battle space awareness, logistics, and net-centric operations, according to USMc captain geraldine carey.

The cAccTUS program is an adjunct to the combined Arms Staff Trainer (cAST) currently in use throughout the Marine corps.

“Being prepared is key to winning battles,” states Bryan cole, cole engineering president and ceo. “The more resources our men and women in uniform have at their disposal, the greater their chances of coming home safely.”

Decision-Driven DesignMany programs that purport to be “net-centric” are fixated on information exchange requirements between systems and platforms, cautions chris Pogue, president of cAe Professional Services. If you start with a technically driven solution, protocol-based information dependencies can lead to “insufficient infor-mation, too much information, or the wrong information at the wrong time.”

Instead, Pogue recommends a “cognitive net-centricity” approach based on the way an organization or group of organiza-tions operate. cAe is developing, for example, a prototype com-mon operating picture simulation environment in which hospi-tals might operate as a network – for handling disasters such as a major highway accident or commercial airplane crash that could overwhelm a single hospital. “We need to structure information around the way people make decisions. If you start with opera-tional constraints (such as the number of beds available, doctors and their skill sets, X-ray and MRI equipment, etc.) instead of focusing on exchanging information, it changes the way you make decisions,” explains Pogue.

The operational concept could as easily apply to distribution of oil supplies, water, even Fedex packages. “Anything can be treated operationally.” Pogue expects delivery of the 14-hospital prototype before the end of the year, after which it may incorpo-rate more than 300 hospitals in canada.

general Morgan, in a sense, used operational and behavior-based planning at the Battle of cowpens. Knowing the ten-dency of citizen militia to flee the field, he positioned his own forces in a no-escape zone between two rivers. And based on data analysis that Redcoats tended to shoot high, he allowed the enemy to seize the high ground after the first skirmish (silhouetting them against the sky, making for easier targets). The final key was disinformation – the apparent retreat by the American militia was actually a trap, leading the British right into a fusillade from the continental regulars. one historian sur-mised that Morgan might have been “the only general in the American Revolution, on either side, to produce a significant original tactical thought.” ms&t

The near-future re-competi-tion of major US Navy omni-bus training contracts and

an increasing demand for new training products provided a positive outlook for training contract opportunities at the NDIA organized 2009 Training & Simula-tion Industry Symposium held in Orlando June 10-11. Attendees came to learn about doing business with the Services and to scope the opportunities for train-ing and simulation products and services.

Acquisition Reform The 2009 Weapons Systems Acquisition Reform Act was signed into law by Presi-dent Obama May 22. Diane Balderson, the Assistant Commander for Contracts for the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), provided an overview of the Act and how it impacts present and future procurement of weapons systems and their respective training systems and products. She also described the top OSD

Acquisition Reform Initiatives. A key ini-tiative is to create a larger better trained acquisition workforce marked by an increase of 20,000 acquisition jobs - 9,000 new acquisition jobs; 11,000 transitioned from contractor support services.

According to Balderson, the new acquisition rules call for more scrutiny on contractor competitive strategies both at the prime and subcontractor level, with a particular emphasis on how the prime chooses its subcontractors. She also warned that there will be more over-sight on contract cost growth and more focus on organizational conflicts of inter-est. In addition, there will also be more emphasis on Joint requirements and a greater reliance on independent, out-side contract cost estimates. Also, policy improvements were to be issued some time this summer in the area of com-petiveness, along with changes in the Acquisition Reform law as a part of the OSD initiative.

The Department of Defense and the NAVAIR contracts organization will be in particular taking a closer look at services contracts, Balderson emphasized. During Fiscal Year 2008 and through the second quarter of FY 2009, the DoD spent over 50 percent of its acquisition dollars on serv-ice contracts. NAVAIR spent 38 percent of its dollars in this contractual area dur-ing this time period.

“There are a lot of vulnerabilities in this area, so there will be increased vigi-lance to assure that contractors comply with all requirements across the life of the contract,” Balderson emphasized “The contractor’s record of past perform-ance is also playing a greater and greater impact on the award of future govern-

Despite tight budgets and acquisition reforms, a very positive outlook for simulation and training was presented to industry executives at the 2009 Training & Simulation Industry Symposium. Chuck Weirauch reports.

ment contracts, with more emphasis on subcontractor management and small business goal utilization.”

nAWctsDWith the Naval Air Warfare Center Train-ing Systems Division (NAWCTSD) in Orlando on track to increase its amount of calendar year 2009 total contract awards by more than 25 percent over those in 2008 – to exceed $962.5 million – there are all types of opportunities for syn-thetic training as the Navy shifts to put more emphasis in this area, according to NAWCTSD Commander Captain Harry Robinson. Some of the new work com-ing to the command will be to support contracting needs for the Fleet Readiness Center Southeast at the Jacksonville, FL Naval Air Station.

Robinson cited the pier side pre-deployment Synthetic Joint Task Force Exercise (JTFEX) conducted by the Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group in February as an example of how the service is moving more towards simulation-based training. As reported recently in the Navy Times, the cost of the Synthetic JTFEX was $500,000, whereas cost estimates for the traditional

at-sea JTFEX was $25 million worth of steaming days.

“This is huge, because it cuts down on our operating costs,” Robinson pointed out. “The plan is to do this with every carrier strike force group.”

omnibusThe most significant NAWCTSD con-tract opportunities won’t be for at least another year. They are omnibus and they are large. The first is the recompete of the Training Systems Contract (TSC) II, which will expire in August 2011. The current TSC II was awarded to 19 prime contractors in August 2003.

The seven-year, $2 billion TSC Sys-tems III Omnibus contract award is antic-ipated in the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2011, and according to NAWCTSD Contracts Director Tony Delicati will be the primary contracting vehicle for the agency. Along with the training devices, the TSC will also cover required compu-ter-based training, interactive course-ware and electronic classrooms for par-ticular systems, Delicati explained.

“This is not an aviation-centric con-tract,” Delicati said. “We are making a conscientious effort to reach out to the

undersea, surface and cross warfare communities. This is an opportunity to reshape business at NAWCTSD, and you may want to seriously consider getting a seat on this particular contract vehicle.”

The sccond largest omnibus con-tract, the $800 million Fielded Training Systems Support (FTSS II) for Contrac-tor Operation and Maintenance Services, was awarded to 11 prime contractors in March 2005 and will expire in April 2010. A Draft Request for Proposal (RFP) for the eight-year, $970 million FTSS III was issued July 10 2009, and comments were due at a pre-solicitation conference on August 19. Contract awards are sched-uled for the fourth quarter of FY 2010.

Yet another omnibus NAWCTSD contract vehicle coming up for recom-petition in the near future is the Navy’s Seaport-e Task Order. The current $110 million contract vehicle for contractor support services such as program man-agement, engineering and logistics will expire March 2011, with an award for the new one tentatively scheduled for no later than the second quarter of FY 2012. With the continuing reduction of government employees at NAWCTSD, the agency has turned more and more

towards this contract vehicle to provide additional vendor support for critical functions.

Littoral combat ship One surprise and good news was the resurgence of training contract opportu-nities for the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), a platform program in that was in some peril due to cancelled ship orders and program restructuring. Now, with two ships scheduled to be in the Fleet by the end of the year, two more under con-struction and a proposed FY 2010 budget request for three more, it seems like the LCS program has been brought back to life for now. NAWCTSD Surface & Expe-ditionary Warfare Programs Director John Freeman announced anticipated RFPs for an LCS Networked Tactical Training System and other crew training compo-nents for a total value of $12.6 million commencing 1Q/2010.

“This is a big win for the surface Navy to get this program underway, and there will be a lot of focus for training for the LCS,” Freeman said. “One big deal is how to train a Tactical Action Officer, and we are looking in part towards embed-ded training.”

PEo stRiAlthough the Army’s Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instru-mentation (PEO STRI) will break through the $3 billion barrier in total annual contract award funding in FY 2009, at least for the next two years funding will be slightly below that level. That’s not because of a reduction of potential opportunities in those following years, but because the agency has decided to turn down work because of the limited resources it will have on hand, accord-ing to Customer Support Executive

Pete Marion. Total FY 2009 funding was expected to reach more than $3.25 billion, while projected FY funding is expected to be slightly over $2.9 billion. The PEO’s all-time high record of more than $3.45 billion was achieved in FY 2008.

“We have experienced a 60 percent growth over the past five years and are exceeding our expectations on funding,” Marion said. “Our customer advocates are working with Army systems PEOs to execute new memorandums of agree-ment and bringing new opportunities to PEO STRI.”

With its two revamped primary con-tracting vehicles in place, the Simulation and Training Omnibus Contract (STOC II) and Warfighter Field Operations Cus-tomer Support Contract (Warfighter FOCUS), the agency is in a solid posi-tion to explore those new opportunities. The Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) contract recompete was originally scheduled to be awarded in the second quarter of FY 2009. The first STOC II Industry Forum was held August 4 with eight awardees. The PEO consid-ers STOC II to be its default, or primary contracting vehicle, accounting for more than 85 percent of its total contract value awarded through 2018.

One area where some of PEO STRI’s new business may be coming from in the future is likely to be from Army aviation. Brigadier General William Crosby, Army Aviation PEO, told the audience that the Army needs to be thinking about how it can use simulation more and more to reduce the flight hours on airframes and

While acquisition reform is the cur-

rent major thrust affecting US contrac-

tors, the effort to achieve open standards

for military system architecture is the

latest initiative to affect those in Europe.

Founded by a number of leading German

technology companies, Open Commu-

nity is an initiative dedicated to achiev-

ing such standards. The armed forces

of Germany and other nations stand to

benefit from high-tech solutions based

on common, network-capable stand-

ards. The members of Open Community

contribute to German government stud-

ies and experiments, helping to further

the process of force transformation.

The Open Community organization

considers itself to be a counterpart, not a

competitor, to the Network Centric Oper-

ations Industry Consortium (NCOIC). It

currently comprises 16 companies from

various sectors. Based on the use of

acknowledged civil and military stand-

ards, the participating companies are

committed to creating interoperability

through inter-company cooperation on

behalf of the Bundeswehr.

The process of force transmission

–not just in the German armed forces –

calls for comprehensive networking of

platforms, of the different branches of

the military and of the armed forces of

different nations, including existing and

future network-enabled capabilities, a

process which extends from sensors

to command and control technology to

weapon systems. Companies belonging

to Open Community see this initiative

as a highly effective means for private

industry to support the reorientation of

the Bundeswehr through suitable net-

work solutions.

significantly reduce operating costs. He asked the industry to help the Army decide to upgrade or replace a significant number of the service’s aviation simula-tors. Crosby pointed out that there could be a considerable potential for business in this area, based on the best use of acquisition dollars.

technology challengesIn order to give industry a better idea where the PEO is headed in the next 12 to 18 months, Chief Systems Engineer Sandy Veautour provided the TSIS audi-ence with a list of technology challenges that the organization wants to focus on in that time frame. These challenges include:• Rapid distribution of terrain and fea-ture data among networked simulators and simulations• Advanced voice recognition technol-ogy that can enable a virtual pilot to rec-ognize an attack controller’s voice with-out any call sign recognition• Autonomous virtual characters thatcan have meaningful interactions with human users• Platform virtualization in order topool computing resources of several applications within a federation for higher efficiency• Reduction of role-player and operatoroverhead and footprint in constructive

simulations by integrating intelligent role-player assistance technologies• Lighter, smaller low-cost wirelesscommunications• Testing, trainingandtacticalcommu-nications on one network infrastructure.

Medical simulation With a total funding of more than $100 million, the Medical Simulation Training Centers (MSTC) contract opportunity was one of the standouts among those announced by Combined Arms Tactical Trainers (CATT) Deputy Program Man-ager Fran Fierko.

“If I had to pick an area where there is the potential for an explosion of new business, this is it,” Fierco emphasized. “Medical simulation will become a pro-gram of record in fiscal year 2010, while also becoming its own full-fledged pro-gram then. The popularity of this pro-gram has increased dramatically, and the vision is to increase its focus from com-bat medic and lifesaver training all the way up to training for surgeons, nurses and anesthesiologists. There is a large potential for growth in this area.”

Another major emerging PM CATT contractual area of opportunity is the Common Driver Trainer (CDT), which will also soon become a program of record. Stryker, Abrams and MRAP variants have

already been developed, and PEO STRI has received requests for simulators for several other Army vehicles and school-houses and unit installations. The CDT requirement is estimated at $350 mil-lion. There will also be smaller but still substantial dollar value RFPs for Virtual Route Clearance Vehicle and Construc-tion Equipment trainers.

Air Force training systems Product GroupAlthough a number of incumbents have been involved in major Air Force train-ing system contracts coming up for rec-ompetition, John Tackis of the Air Force Training Systems Product Group gave assurances that all service contracts are to be under fair and open competition. He told TSIS attendees that they should not just assume that the incumbent prime contractor would win the new contract.

That’s a good point to consider, since several major contracts, such as the one for the $970 million C-17 Training Sys-tem Follow-on Contract, are about to be recompeted. Another is the $500 million C-130J Maintenance and Aircrew Train-ing System. Some new contracts of con-siderable interest are for a Global Hawk Full Mission Simulator A-10 Training Sys-tems and F-16 Aircrew & Maintenance Training Devices. ms&t

Transas released its newest genera-tion navigational simulator, the nTPRO 5000, in June. The nTPRO 5000 focuses on providing key elements with new features to support specialized training applications.

Transas created the simulator according to user feedback, mak-ing advancements in new wave and interaction modeling and adding new grounding, parametric rolling, broach-ing and other features. The new radar picture generation algorithm considers the geometry of objects, their relative position, reflection capability of mate-rials, 3D wave, antenna three-dimen-sional motion, and earth curvature. The brand-new highly realistic seagull 5000

visualization system is offered, adding realism. Enhancements to the instruc-tor station include a new capability to obtain real-time on-chart plotting of the relative position of vessels in respect of each other, their CPa and TCPa, which are continually recalculated in order to consider any change in speed or course of any of the marked vessels.

in July, Transas was the first manu-facturer to get the new DnV (Det nor-ske Veritas) seal for the ice navigation module of the simulator. The updated regulations were introduced to ensure simulators provide an appropriate level of physical and behavioral realism in accordance with recognized training and assessment objectives.

AlTeon GeTs A new nAMeBoeing announced the company’s train-ing organization, alteon, will be renamed Boeing Training & Flight services. The new name will be phased in across the company’s global network over several months.

Attendees at the 2009 Medical Technology, Training and Treatment (MT3) Conference learned that using simulation to change medical education would help reduce medical errors, improve patient safety, enhance medical practitioners’ skills and help lower health care costs. During the three-day event in Orlando May 28-30 military and civilian medical education leaders also pointed out that the emerging medical simulation field that will provide many opportunities for growth and advancement.

according to Dr. ajit sachdeva, Director of the american Col-lege of surgeon’s Division of Education, the health care indus-try, under pressure to decrease costs and improve the quality of medical care, must change its traditional methods of education. The overall goal is to improve practitioners’ technical skills across the entire medical spectrum, provide a cycle of continuous quality improvement and “raise the bar” of medical competence. simula-tion will help accomplish this goal “in a very big way,” not only by providing better learning tools, but also by establishing the means through which competence can be assessed, he summed up.

“The last time that there was a change in medical educa-tion was a hundred years ago,” said Dr. Richard satava, Professor of surgery at the University of Washington’s Medical Center. “so i think that we have an obligation to look at the true power of simulation. What we need to do is to train people to be able to provide better patient care.”

One application that satava advocates is the use of simula-tion to help surgeons “warm up” their operating skills for a short period of time before an operation, pointing out that studies have

shown that pre-operative exercises significantly reduced surgi-cal errors and the amount of time taken.

Ellen Embrey, acting assistant secretary of Defense for Health affairs, outlined five areas of emphasis of simulation research and application under a new DoD $100 million joint military medical training initiative: medically enhanced virtual humans; low-cost immersive medical environments; intelli-gent tutoring; 3D medical holograms; and modeling continuing medical care.

Commander Russ shilling, scientific advisor for Embry’s office and the Defense Center of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain injury, described Center research on how computer and console-based video gaming technology can be employed for TBi and psychological disorder treatment. skip Rizzo, the developer of the PC-based Virtual iraq program for the treatment of Post-traumatic stress Disorder (PTsD), described how success with that application has led to its increasing use at Veteran’s administration and research hospitals.

Other presentations included a Joint service Medical simu-lation Technology panel that included representatives from the Us army’s Research Development and Engineering Command’s simulation & Training Technology Center and the Medical Research and Materiel Command’s Telemedicine & advanced Technology Research Center (TaTRC). Other topics featured at the MT3 event included the modeling of human tissue, virtual reality human patients, and simulation in the treatment of dis-eases and disaster first-responder training. – Chuck Weirauch

Chemring Defence Germany (CDG), Saab Training Systems, and Theissen Training Systems organised LoF VII - under the patronage of the Finnish army. The event, 26 to 27 May, was open to the interested training community. “We see ourselves as the specialists who make the battle visible on the training ground,” said Jan-Dirk Hellwege, General Manager of CDG. and it was not just about seeing, it was about hearing, smelling and feeling the operational environment, involving all senses and thus immersing those involved in a most realistic training surround-ing, but without disregarding safety. “The stand-off between the war fighter and the threat is being reduced, requiring simula-tion training solutions that will allow the soldier to get in close without adverse effects,” explained James l. Wejsa, Chief, Pyro-technic Technology and Prototyping Division, aRDEC. For him, “safety is paramount”. More talks disclosed what such training could look like, or what approach nations and organizations are taking. Osmo Forsten from the Finnish national Defence Univer-sity, in his capacity as secretary of the naTO Working Group on UCaTT (Urban Combat advanced Training Technology), explic-itly pointed out next year’s UCaTT concept demonstration. This milestone event, to be held in september 2010 in the Marnehui-zen training village in the netherlands, will show a system-to-system interoperability concept, with different vendors’ systems

operating in the same environment. in fact, it will show the long-term partnership between government and industry.

loF focuses on product briefings and practical, hands-on dem-onstrations by large and small companies. and it is these smaller enterprises that have produced some interesting innovations.

The swedish family-owned enterprise MsE Weibull aB pre-sented liMO, the light Mobile Target system for live training, anywhere, anytime. an endless motor-driven rope, laid-out in any terrain, tows sledge-mounted targets at realistic speed and atti-tude across the exercise area. “i might have problems convinc-ing my procurement guys – the technology is just too simple,” said one live training expert, who wished to remain nameless.

The swiss company TEnETEC showcased Vitrius, a real-time 3D motion-tracking system, which uses advanced video processing and pattern recognition to identify and track pas-sive smart tags down to the centimetre. in a presentation run by the Finnish army, Vitrius demonstrated its suitability for use in MOUT training.

The next loF will be held in about 18 months from now, most probably in the netherlands.

AlIon GeTs $5 MIllIon U.s. AIr ForCe ConTrACT alion science and Technology won a $5 million contract to support the U.s. air Force 711th Human Performance Wing/Human Performance integration Directo-rate for the evaluation of human perform-ance factors on air Force weapon systems.

The work includes analyzing human performance on weapon system ability and readiness through the air Force’s Human systems integration (Hsi) program. Hsi takes a human-centric approach to sys-

tem design and acquisition to reduce lifecycle costs and optimize system per-formance. The air Force expects alion’s work to help it measure performance and improve weapon systems.

seleX deVeloPInG F-16 MAInTenAnCe TrAInInG sElEX systems integration ltd, is work-ing with the Royal norwegian air Force to develop a distributed learning trial to address the air Force’s changing and demanding training requirements. Dur-ing the six-month program, they will convert the existing Technical Training Package (TTP) emulation to sElEX sys-tems integration’s web-enabled emula-tion technology and will support dis-tance learning. This will be followed by a classroom-based trial to determine the success of this new training approach.

The goal is to develop new web-based functionality for the F-16 TTP through a remote learning environment, making the most efficient use of instruc-tors. By delivering training at the point of use anywhere in the world, ‘just in time’ learning can help combat skill fade, and let students to work through training when and where they want.

Red Teaming allows Commanders to develop decision-making skills for planning and operations by anticipating the percep-tions and actions of partners, adversaries and others.

This Paris Air Show came at a time when the aerospace indus-try is suffering. Even so, GiFas, the French aerospace industry body that runs the prestigious event, mobi-lised the full spectrum of 100 years of aviation: from original Blériot canvas monoplanes to the futuristic nEU-ROn UaV. Even the aerobatics team “Patrouille de France” was sum-moned, for the first time since 1975, to colour the skies over the Parisian suburb of le Bourget in blue, white and red. However, most aviation manufacturers felt like louis Gallois, EaDs Chief Executive, who said “this would not be an air show of orders”. it wasn’t.

The real new star of the event was the CaMCOPTER s-100, the first UaV ever to fly at a Paris air show. This commercial UaV, made by the aus-trian company schiebel, flew planned flight manoeuvres and emergency procedures, and fed high-resolution video to the Paris air show’s own TV station. so, 100 years after the first “air-borne locomotion exhibition” at the Grand Palais in Paris, schiebel’s CaM-COPTER marked another milestone.

The static display and the halls were filled with UaVs, ranging from the smallest drones, such as innocon’s Micro-Falcon i, to the mighty RQ-4 Global Hawk. Does the future lie in UaVs? “What comes after fighter pro-grammes?” asked stefan Zoller, CEO of EaDs Defence & security, promptly answering the question himself. “it’s unmanned aircraft.” David Vos, sen-ior Director Control Technologies at Rockwell Collins, expects that “UaVs will fly with manned aircraft in com-mercial airspace soon.” He also pre-dicts that in the future passenger planes will fly without a human pilot. “The technology exists,” he said, but also admitted that a great deal of convincing still had to be done to get public acceptance.

Training and simulation are not put centre stage at the Paris air show. yet, aircraft manufacturers consider training to be an essential service. Eurocopter CEO lutz Bertling

explained that helicopters have a higher accident rate than other air-craft, with roughly 85 percent caused by operator error. “The key to fix it is simulator-based training,” he said. That’s one reason why Eurocopter is creating a network of training centres all over the world. “This is a business in itself, it’s supporting simulator sales, and it is a very strong contribution to flight safety.” italian industrial group Finmeccanica demonstrated what such integration of simulator training into a high-tech portfolio might look like in reality. Training equipment was part of Finmeccanica’s elaborately designed display section, covering 1,500 m2. The simulation Ring, a net-work of simulators and real products interacted with Finmeccanica’s stra-tegic simulation Centre, thereby dem-onstrating the ability to respond to a variety of complex requirements in an integrated manner. yet Finmeccanica did not just bring ground equipment to le Bourget. One star of the daily fly-ing display was the aleniaaermacchi M346, which, for branding reasons, had been freshly repainted in Finmec-canica red.

“The M-346 Master is the only new-generation advanced/lead-in fighter trainer currently available in Europe,” says Barbara Buzio, who is in charge of Communication & Media Relations at aleniaaermacchi. The aircraft is tailored to train pilots to fly new-generation combat aircraft and is well suited to every phase of advanced and pre-operational train-ing. “The aircraft replicates avionics of fifth-generation military aircraft such as Eurofighter, Gripen, Rafale, F-16, F-22 and the future JsF,” explains Gaetano Ferlazzo, engineer and responsible for international sales.

Despite all the setbacks caused by the global economic crisis, the organ-isers thought the 100th Paris air show was a particularly successful event. “The Paris air show has once again confirmed its position as the leading international air show,” said louis le Portz, Chief Executive of the show. – Walter F.

AdVAnCed HAwK To TrAIn neXT GenoF FAsT JeT PIloTsThe first of the Royal air Force’s £450 million fleet of 28 new advanced Jet Trainers (aJT), the Hawk T Mk2, are now at RaF Valley in anglesey, allowing pilots to train on an aircraft with sys-tems closely compatible with the latest front line jets.

The Hawk T Mk2 features a “glass” cockpit and the latest advances in radar, weapons, and defensive aids simulation and is designed to provide a seamless transition from flying training to operational squadron.

TAIwAn Uses JTls For deFense eXerCIseTaiwan used the Joint Theater level simulation (JTls) in a mili-tary exercise in June when it simulated an invasion by China. The drill was part of the annual Han Kuang war games and was played out on computers in a military command center. The computers simulated a ground attack by 200,000 Chinese troops, with Taiwan in control after the ensuing battles.

The JTls software is managed by the UsJFCOM Joint Warf-ighting Center and is developed, maintained and distributed by ROlanDs & assOCiaTEs.

VIrTUAl CoMBAT TeAM enHAnCes JoInT CAPABIlITIes TesTInGa virtual army helped U.s. Joint Forces Command (UsJF-COM) conduct Empire Challenge 09 (EC09). EC is an annual live joint and coalition intelligence, surveillance and recon-naissance (isR) virtual demonstration. The United Kingdom, Canada, australia and naTO participated. The demo included a virtual brigade combat team (BCT) and live isR assets that formed a combined task force that collects, analyzes, and shares information.

The virtual simulation provides an opportunity to test new capabilities and concepts in an environment operationally rep-resentative of real world situations. The ultimate goal is to give warfighters on the ground better situational awareness, bet-ter battlespace awareness, and a better understanding of their adversary’s location and capabilities.

Much of the work stemmed from a partnership between

UsJFCOM and industry partner northrop Grumman, as part of a cooperative research and development agreement to provide virtual human-in-the-loop physics-based platform and sensor simulations and contribute technologies to EC09.
