DESCRIPTION<br />

The Synthetic Training Environment (STE) is designed to provide<br />

a cognitive, collective, multi-echelon training and mission rehearsal<br />

capability for the operational, institutional and self-development<br />

training domains. It brings together the virtual, constructive and<br />

gaming training environments into a single STE for Army Active and<br />

Reserve Components as well as civilians. It will provide training services<br />

to ground, dismounted and aerial platforms and command post (CP)<br />

points of need (PoN).<br />

The Synthetic Training Environment will interact with and augment<br />

live training, which is the primary training approach for the Army.<br />

This concept will allow the Army to provide a single STE that delivers<br />

a training service to the PoN. The capability will train all Warfighting<br />

Functions and the human dimension across all echelons with Joint and<br />

Unified Action Partners in the context of Unified Land Operations.<br />

BENEFIT TO THE WARFIGHTER<br />

Warfighters will benefit from a single STE built on One World Terrain<br />

concepts within a Common Operating Environment (COE).<br />

SPECIFICATIONS<br />

• Training and mission rehearsal capability<br />

• Interfaces with operational networks and Network-Enabled Mission<br />

Command Initial Capability Document-defined platforms and CP<br />

• Interfaces with live training instrumentation<br />

• Native interoperability with the COE<br />

• STE Virtual Military Equipment leverages commercial off-the-shelf<br />

(COTS) and government off-the-shelf (GOTS) hardware<br />

››<br />

Will provide immersive and semi-immersive training capability<br />

• STE is a software solution and will not require production line for<br />

custom hardware<br />

››<br />

Will instead utilize integration line to integrate COTS and<br />

GOTS hardware<br />

PROGRAM STATUS<br />

• Current: Program is in the Pre-Materiel Development Decision<br />

(MDD) phase<br />

››<br />

Milestone Decision Authority and ACAT to be determined<br />

at MDD<br />
