MISSION:

Soldier Non-Systems (SNS) supports (worldwide) Soldier training through sustainment and operations of entrusted “non system” Training Aid Devices, Simulations and Simulators (TADSS) and programs. SNS performs life-cycle management for fielding Program Managers (PMs), Army Training Support Center (ATSC), and other strategic partners.

VISION:

SNS is acknowledged as trusted teammates and service providers that support our strategic partners' common goals and exceed mission expectations.

DESCRIPTION:

PM Field OPS, SNS supports over 225,000 training devices worldwide using two on-going contracts:

  1. Warfighter FOCUS (WFF)
  2. Artillery and Chemical Trainers (ACT), which is a five-year 8(a) (small business set aside) contract.

WFF provides sustainment, support, and, in some cases, operation of legacy and newly fielded TES equipment. For EST 2000, training support includes scenario development and operation, recording of units’ performance and preparation of training results. For Medical Simulation Training Centers (MSTC), training support includes sound effects, battlefield effects, smells of war, realistic threat environments, and reaction recording. WFF also supports training data collection using internal and external field camera systems – the information from which is used in the preparation and presentation of the AARs for the units’ evaluation. Sustainment efforts also include installation of Tactical Engagement Simulation Systems (TESS), hardware maintenance, interaction/training of unit personnel, instrumented operations and preparation of AARs.

GROUND TES SURVEY INPUT:

The linked survey provides input that aids PM Field OPS in management process of the Warfighter FOCUS support contract. This data will be consolidated and used to provide feedback to Warfighter FOCUS Training Alliance (WTA) and PEO-STRI in performance of said contact. Results will be complied on a monthly basis using data from these surveys and other inputs.

Please complete the associated Ground TES survey with timely and pertinent information.
