MISSION:
To provide Project Manager Training Devices (PM TRADE) a product-line strategy to efficiently and effectively address future live collective training systems acquisitions by focusing on the shared requirements of all live domain training systems with the strategic objectives to maximize commonality and systematic component reuse and to ensure interoperability across the live, virtual and constructive domains. The LT2 Product Line reduces fielding time, minimizes acquisition costs, enables total ownership cost reductions across the live training domain, the Live, Virtual, Constructive-Integrated Training Environment (LVC-ITE), the live domain and enhances training benefits afforded to the Warfighter through software and component reuse.

DESCRIPTION:
The LT2 Product Line focuses on live-training domain requirements, LVC and Joint interoperability to maximize component reuse, reduce fielding time, minimize programmatic costs and enhance training benefits afforded to the Soldier. The LT2 product line includes live training systems in support of homestation training, deployed training, Military Operations on Urban Terrain (MOUT) training, Maneuver
Combat Training Center (MCTC) training and instrumented live-fire range training. The LT2 product line is comprised of programs that use the Common Training Instrumentation Architecture (CTIA), the Future Army System of Integrated Targets (FASIT) Architecture and the LT2-CTIA components to implement the various product instantiations, such as the Objective Instrumentation Systems (OISs) for the MCTCs,
PRODUCT LINE STRATEGY:
 Through successful execution of the product line strategy, LT2 will deliver a set of assets that provide integrated and interoperable training solutions for live collective training across the homestation, MCTC and deployed and joint training domains. The LT2 product line vision is captured in the figure at the right and in the following program objectives:
- Produce a product-line architecture that completely supports live instrumentation, Tactical Engagement Simulation System (TESS), targetry, domain-specific services and associated equipment for live training within the Army’s doctrine-based training process
- Engineer a product-line process and associated standards, tools, rules and guidelines that foster development of both components and products that are compliant with the product-line architecture
- Produce a set of common applications that plug-and-play in the product-line architecture and are applicable across a wide range of programs within the LT2 domain
- Encourage development of common applications and products and capture convincing evidence of the benefits of a product-line approach
- Provide a flexible architectural environment that will support evolution of the architecture to support all Army live-training simulation systems, as well as integration with emerging Army and joint architectures such as the Test and Training Enabling Architecture (TENA) and the Live, Virtual, Constructive Integrating Architecture (LVC-IA)
PM TRADE awarded the Consolidated Product-Line Management (CPM) Indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contract in fiscal year 2010. The CPM contract provides the management, maintenance and evolution for the LT2 Product Line core assets and provides total product-line life-cycle support to product managers within the LT2 Product Line. The CPM contract will meet the requirement for a consolidated streamlined approach that provides the project managers and product managers an efficient, effective and agile method to accomplish the following:
- Management, maintenance and evolution of the LT2 Product Line core assets
- Total life-cycle system management product-line support of systems/products within the LT2 Product Line family of training systems
- Product Line support of systems/products that leverage LT2 product-line assets
- Support of external interoperability initiatives such as LVC-IA, joint and Foreign Military Sales
- Synchronization with Warfighter FOCUS (WFF)
