Under the WFF program, the SRP provides worldwide operations, maintenance and sustainment support of digital live training range systems used by the U.S. Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy and multinational Coalition Forces.
DESCRIPTION:
These range systems consist of the following platforms, for which WFF currently provides sustainment and operations:
Using advanced targetry, sound effects, battlefield effects and smells of war, WFF supports systems that represent realistic threat environments that produce realistic reactions. WFF also supports enhanced training data collection using onboard instrumentation systems, as well as vehicle-mounted, internal and external field camera systems. This information is used in the preparation and presentation of the AAR for the unit’s evaluation. WFF sustainment efforts currently include instrumentation hardware maintenance, interaction/training support of unit personnel, instrumented operations and preparation of AAR and THPs for trained units. Under WFF, the SRP can also interoperate within a live-virtual-constructive integrated architecture to support Army and joint exercises.

Cross Utilization
Through SRP, WFF has developed a strategy for providing detailed support to the Soldier. Depending on the training requirement for deploying units and the need for training, WFF affords the ability to surge support across the program. This has equated into cost avoidance to the government and has saved the program valuable dollars. It also provides Soldiers training opportunities to sharpen Ground Combat Crew Gunnery skills, provides realistic individual and collective training scenarios in an urban environment and challenges Aviation Crew Gunnery skills executing target acquisition and engagement in preparation for Full Spectrum Combat Operations.
