Description

Mission Constructive Simulation Systems Development

This Program Element funds the development of constructive and wargame simulations used to realistically train commanders and their battle staffs on today's complex battlefield conditions. Project 361, Intelligence Simulation Systems, funds the development of the Intelligence Electronic Warfare Tactical Proficiency Trainer (IEWTPT). IEWTPT is a Non-System Training Device (NSTD) which supports home-station training by simulating and stimulating Military Intelligence (MI) organic or surrogate equipment. It enables sustainment of critical individual and collective MI tasks/skills and is the core of the U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence (USAICoE) Military Intelligence (MI) holistic training strategy supporting mission command, targeting, and MI Soldier readiness. IEWTPT provides a realistic simulation intelligence target environment for multi-intelligence disciplines such as All Source Analysis, Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Imagery Intelligence (IMINT), Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT), Human Intelligence (HUMINT), Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) and electronic warfare (EW) systems. IEWTPT provides training for analyst and system operators to exploit intelligence data during training, just as they would in "Real World" operations. The IEWTPT Technical Control Cell (TCC) is composed of two components: the Lower Enclave (LE) which supports exercise planning and development and drives the All Source and GEOINT (and emerging EW) training tasks and the Upper Enclave (UE) which supports all SIGINT related training and operates at the Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) classification level. Project 362, Joint Land Component Constructive Training Capability (JLCCTC) supports Army Title X training worldwide for Army Commanders and their staff at Mission Training Complexes (MTCs), Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) facilities, and other customer locations. JLCCTC trains Commanders and their staff in Decisive Actions to include offensive, defensive, stability, and civil support operations. JLCCTC is a software modeling and simulation capability that contributes to Army Training Mission Area by providing appropriate levels of modeling and simulation resolution and fidelity to support unit collective and combined arms training. JLCCTC provides a composable federation configurable to any combination of models and simulations, as required by training exercise intent/design. JLCCTC provides accurate representations of tactically and operationally relevant land warfare operations executed in a contemporary Joint operating environment/context and in support of Army Training and Readiness. Next Generation Constructive (NGC) provides the constructive training environment to sufficiently train large scale combat operations (LSCO) in multi-domain operations, to include, joint, cyber, space, and maritime. NGC enables collective training to be conducted for Corps and down, while increasing efficiency in planning, preparing, and executing training events. Funding will continue development of the Intel, Sustainment, Cyber, and Maneuver/Protection Warfighting Functions, STE Core Service in support of NGC development in accordance with validated STE-SW ICD FY24, AvSE development/integration; Development, Security, and Operations, DEVSECOPS implementation/execution; Technical Assessments, Soldier Touch Points (STPs), test planning events, and migration to a cloud environment.

Mission Intelligence Simulation Systems

Project 361 funds the development, integration and testing of the Intelligence Electronic Warfare Tactical Proficiency Trainer (IEWTPT). IEWTPT is a Non-System Training Device (NSTD) which supports home-station training by simulating and stimulating Military Intelligence (MI) and Electronic Warfare (EW) organic or surrogate equipment. It enables training of critical individual, crew, and collective MI tasks/skills and is the core of the U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence (USAICoE) Military Intelligence (MI) holistic training strategy supporting mission command, targeting, and MI Soldier and multi-domain army readiness. IEWTPT provides a realistic simulation intelligence target environment for multi-intelligence disciplines such as All Source Analysis, Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Imagery Intelligence (IMINT), Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT), Human Intelligence (HUMINT), Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) and EW in support of multi-domain operations (MDO) training. IEWTPT provides training for analyst and system operators to exploit intelligence and EW data during training, just as they would in "Real World" operations. The IEWTPT Technical Control Cell (TCC) is composed of two components: the Lower Enclave (LE) which supports exercise planning and scenario development and drives the All Source and GEOINT (and emerging EW) training tasks and the Upper Enclave (UE) which supports all SIGINT related training and operates at the Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) classification level. FY 2026 funding will be used for improving multi-intelligence and electronic warfare (EW) scenario development tools, increasing and enhancing threat modeling representation at theater and national echelons, and building and integrating intelligence training capabilities into cloud-ready applications. Base funding will establish enterprise level business processes and services enabling IEWTPT to efficiently develop, operate, and secure capabilities in accordance with OSD Digital Engineering and Army Digital Transformations Strategies. Funding promotes software integration and synergies and efficiencies between training and testing of intelligence platform systems. Promote re-use of common assets and services for Army modernization and defense priorities.

Mission Jnt Land Component Constructive Trng

The Joint Land Component Constructive Training Capability (JLCCTC) supports Army Title X training worldwide for Army Commanders and their staff at Mission Training Complexes (MTCs), Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) facilities, and other customer locations.
