JP 2030 Joint Command Support System & Air Command Support 


This project involves the extension of JCSS and ACSS to support more users across command elements of 

the ADF, and the evolutionary development of additional capabilities. Some new capabilities to be 

introduced include general MGI and simulation technologies. The character of these capabilities will be 

determined as part of the project’s Evolutionary Acquisition process. More immediate uses of simulation 

technology will be the air mission planning and rehearsal functionality to be used within ACSS. The solution 

used within ACSS is based on the USAF’s Theatre Battle Management Core Systems (TBMCS), which 

supports the planning and conduct of air operations. Opportunities may exist for delivering ADF aircraftspecific 

and weapon-specific simulation modules compatible with the air mission planning system being 

acquired for ACSS (when selected), TBMCS, and other components of ACSS. JCSS will have tasks to 

improve integration between simulation systems and JCSS applications especially at ADFWC.

Project JP 2048 (Phase 4 YOD 2012) is seeking the replacement of the existing ADF Amphibious 

Deployment and Sustainment Capability inherent in the LSH and LPAs. Project SEA 1654 (Phases 2 (Ships 

1&2, RFT 2003) and Phase 3 (Ship 2, starting 2008)) is seeking to replace the existing RAN Afloat Support 

capability by replacing HMAS Westralia and HMAS Success. These projects are collectively referred to as 

the Amphibious and Afloat Support (AAS) Projects. 

Simulation Based Acquisition (SBA) is a major initiative for these projects. It is intended to make smart use 

of Modelling and Simulation technologies to equip the amphibious Afloat Support Ships with quality 

systems, in less time, at less risk and at lower cost than traditional means. The AAS program will provide an 

environment for integrating and analysing components of the system from the contractor/s conceptual models 

based upon a set of defined requirements. A key approach to the successful and timely integration and testing 

will be through the use of M&S for the development and delivery of a turnkey system. By providing a 

suitable environment, the AAS contractor/s will be able to work through a significant amount of 

interoperability and testing issues prior to delivery.

LAND 125 Phases 2A-4, Soldier Combat System 


2010 

SIMULATION TYPE: Various PROCUREMENT STAGE: YOD 2003/04 

LAND 125 seeks to develop and acquire a Soldier Combat System for the Australian Army. Phase 1 is 

complete and was a Capability Definition Study conducted in the period 1996-1998. Phase 2A is on-going 

and is a Project Definition Study (PDS) to be conducted with the aim of defining the scope of the subsequent 

acquisition phases. Phase 3 (YOD 2003/04) will acquire the initial Soldier Combat System. Phase 4 (YOD 

2007/08) will extend the basis of provisioning of the Soldier Combat System to other Force Element Groups 

(FEGs) of the ADF and may see a technology refresh. The Soldier Combat System is likely to require 

simulation components for operator training. This could involve: 

• stand-alone simulations, eg the US Army has used a commercial computer game (Novalogic Delta Force 

• Land Warrior) with a modified interface as a user interface part-task trainer for initial operator training; 

• integration of the Soldier Combat System weapons simulation capability to the in-service Weapons 

• Training Simulation Systems; 

• integration of the Soldier Combat System with the instrumentation for the Combat Training Centre (Live) 

• being acquired under LAND 134; 

• integration of the Soldier Combat System C4I sub-system to in-service and projected mission planning and 

• rehearsal simulations; or 

• integration of the Soldier Combat System C4I sub-system to simulations associated with C4I systems such 

• as the Battlefield Command Support System being acquired under LAND 75. 

Simulations will be developed progressively in association with development of the Soldier Combat System 

starting with Phase 2A and be acquired in Phases 3 and 4.

LAND 134 Phase 1, Live-Simulation, Range-Instrumentation & Information 

System for Army’s Combat Training Centre (CTC-LIS) 

SIMULATION TYPE: Live (HLA/ASE compliant) PROCUREMENT STAGE: Restricted RFT 

This project seeks to acquire a modular, open-architecture, transportable live-simulation, rangeinstrumentation 

and information system supported by a commercial turnkey arrangement. The system is 

known simply as CTC-LIS. A core (or basic) CTC-LIS is required to equip Army’s Combat Training Centre 

(CTC) in Townsville by 2006. The CTC-LIS will be used to train and evaluate combat team leaders and their 

combined arms teams in a realistic battlefield environment, which replicates as accurately as possible in the 

live environment force on force engagements, battlefield stress and other battlefield effects. Land 134 Phase 

1 seeks to acquire the core CTC-LIS suitable for combat-team sized training. A future Phase 2 might grow 

the system into the objective CTC-LIS suitable for battle-group level training, with combat aviation and other 

force element participation in CTC exercises. The CTC-LIS will involve the use of applique laser and radio 

frequency based systems which simulate direct and indirect fire weapon effects and other area effects, in the 

live domain. The CTC-LIS will also provide the range-instrumentation, position-location and 

communication networks needed for the CTC to collect and analyse real-time situation and event data from 

all exercise participants. It will also provide the multimedia tools needed for CTC staff to provide objective 

feedback to exercise participants on their training performance. The CTC-LIS will be able to interact with 

other live, virtual and constructive simulations through the HLA-based Army Synthetic Environment (ASE).

PROCUREMENT STAGE: PGT - Tender Evaluation 

The mounted tactical engagement simulation system (MTESS) phase seeks to acquire a laser-based live 

simulation system that simulates tank gunfire, and effects in and on other tanks and armoured vehicles. 

Individual engagement data will be generated from each participating vehicle, and uploaded to a computer 

for post-exercise analysis. The MTESS is to be fully interoperable with the TESS and LMESS for the 

dismounted infantry so that realistic combined arms training can be conducted. This has been satisfied with 

the procurement of 48 CVTESS systems from Oscmar International. 

A Precision Gunnery Trainer (PGT) will fire a laser projector to simulate hits and near misses on opposing 

vehicles fitted with laser detection equipment. The fall of shot of main armament and coaxial machine guns 

will be replicated in the eyepieces of the gunner and commanders sights. The terminal effects of KE and CE 

rounds will also be displayed in the gunner’s and commander’s sights. The PGT is to be interoperable with 

TESS and CVTESS. These systems will not be an integral component of the Combat Training Centre 

(neither will TESS or LMESS). A formal DTRIAL trial will be conducted on short-listed tenderers as part of 

tender evaluation. The successful tenderer is to produce two pre-production models, with four production 

models to be delivered by end 2002.

SEA 1074 Australian Mining Capability 


This project aims to develop an exercise capability in maritime mine warfare, particularly the laying of mines 

(with Stonefish mines) and their subsequent interaction with surface platforms. The simulation component 

lies in training in mine warfare operations in the practical aspects of mine laying and subsequently with the 

exercise of surface platforms, minewarfare assets and clearance divers using the Stonefish exercise mine. 

The Stonefish exercise mine simulates the effects of a mine by emitting an underwater acoustic signal when 

set off. This can be recorded by the mine for later evaluation or monitored by a nearby vessel or buoy with a 

receiver in real time. The surface platform that actuated the mine can immediately be informed by signal, 

though this is somewhat artificial. The present phase of this project aims to acquire pyrotechnics to make the 

effects of the exercise mine more realistic. A series of loud explosions, a flare on the surface and an airborne 

light source call attention to the mine actuation, which cannot be missed by the crew of the vessel.

SEA 1439 Collins Class Submarine Enhancements 


As part of the new submarine project, various simulators were developed for the Collins Class submarines. 

The main ones are the Combat System Simulator (CSS), located at the Submarine Warfare Systems Centre at 

HMAS Watson, and the Platform Training Simulator (PTS), located in the Submarine Training and System 

Centre at HMAS Stirling. Raytheon Australia Limited (originally Rockwell Systems Australia and then 

Boeing Australia), was subcontracted by the Australian Submarine Corporation to provide the CSS. A major 

option being considered is to move the CSS to HMAS Stirling on completion of the submarine combat 

system development, test and fix period. This decision will be made as part of the strategy for the Collins 

Class Replacement Combat System. The PTS consists of two components, a Submarine Control Simulator 

(SCS) and a Propulsion Control Simulator (PCS), and is used to train Collins Class personnel to operate the 

submarine platform and ship control systems. The SCS and PCS may be operated independently or and they 

may be linked to provide control room and machinery control room communication and interaction 

simulation. Link Miles in the UK, under subcontract to ASC, developed the PTS. The present contractor, 

Thales Simulation, with input from SAAB Systems who developed the Submarine Integrated Ship Control, 

Management and Monitoring System (ISCMMS), both again under subcontract to ASC, is undertaking an 

upgrade to the PTS to reflect recent changes to submarine equipment and operating characteristics. 

Consideration is also being given to procuring a Collins Class Propulsion Control Reference System (PCRS) 

to provide an in-country test, development and training system for the Collins Propulsion System which has a 

large simulation component. The final configuration of the PCRS, including the required simulation 

component, and the prime contractor for that procurement is still being considered.

to be a vehicle for encouraging 

commonality among simulations, and 

collaboration between work areas. The 

tools available within the CESAW include 

architectural tools, simulation frameworks, 

revision control tools, validated 

component models, a centralised 

repository that is regularly backed up, and 

visualisation tools (such as Viewpoint). 

MSTARS, Mars, SimFramework, DIVA
