Description
Description — Gaming Technology In Support of Army Training
The Games for Training (GFT) Program prepares Soldiers and Leaders by delivering robust training and mission rehearsal capabilities while providing advanced software capabilities to COTS hardware computing systems. The GFT program satisfies the Active, National Guard, and Army Reserves' educational requirements in the Operational, Institutional, and Self-Development Training Domains with a low-overhead capability on geo-specific and geo-typical terrain with relevant platforms and weapon systems. This gaming capability allows units and commanders to train individual and collective tasks at the company and below level with minimal amount of resourcing required (land, ammunition, transportation, etc.). GFT systems provide commanders the ability to refine and rehearse unit Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) prior to executing live, large-scale training events. GFT trains units and staffs by facilitating Tactical Exercises Without Troops (TEWT).
Justification
Justification — Gaming Technology In Support of Army Training
FY 2026 Base procurement dollars in the amount of $7.320 million will maintain the Virtual Battlespace software. It allows for the Games for Training (GFT) program to sustain readiness by efficiently and effectively building soldier, leader, and unit competency on technical skills necessary to perform multiple mission types in accordance with current tactics, techniques, and procedures. Funding will provide program management, testing, cybersecurity, and system technical support of fielded GFT Systems. Lastly, funding will continue to provide Government Furnished Material to distribute gaming content via Web Portal and to facilitate technical support to the Army training community. In accordance with Section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110-181), these items are necessary for use by the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities.
