MISSION:
To focus on delivering software and limited hardware to enable an interoperable common virtual training environment for training Soldiers. The ultimate objective of SE Core is to facilitate a common virtual training environment to enhance the training and mission rehearsal capabilities for our Soldiers. The program ensures the Army’s virtual simulation systems have an interoperable capability and are compatible with live and constructive training systems so that our Soldiers can truly train as they fight.
DESCRIPTION:
The Department of Defense Training Transformation, Army Training Strategies, Army Modernization Programs, Joint/Army Training Doctrine, Joint/Army Mission Command Training Support, and Army Force Generation require an LVC Integrated Training Environment (ITE). The SE Core program is the Army’s virtual component of the LVC ITE. SE Core develops and sustains the Army’s CVE, which links current and future virtual simulation devices into an interoperable full-spectrum training capability. The CVE connects to gaming training enablers and the live and constructive environments for an integrated LVC ITE capability.
As the Army transitions to a campaign-quality Army with a joint and expeditionary mindset, our Soldiers require relevant, on-demand training available anywhere, anytime, and tailored to their operational training requirements. SE Core is comprised of complementary efforts for developing the common virtual training environment that facilitates fair-fight interoperability for virtual system and non-system Training Aids Devices Simulators and Simulations (TADSS). The program develops operational training terrain databases, models, and simulation architecture connectivity to meet Soldier operational training requirements. The terrain and model development efforts provide non-proprietary, open format and image generator independent common virtual training environment deliverables.
The simulation architecture provides an integrated training network. These common virtual training environment deliverables, linking current and future virtual training devices/simulations, enable the Army to execute combined arms and joint training as well as mission planning and rehearsals at homestation and deployed locations. The SE Core Product Line Architecture Framework defines the architecture for the Army’s common virtual training environment. Common protocol and standards for virtual training devices are essential for fair-fight interoperability. SE Core’s Virtual Distributed Interactive Simulation protocol provides the foundation for virtual systems interoperability and common communication to other components of the LVC ITE.
Through the involvement of SE Core’s system development and demonstration phase, requirements for training and SE Core have grown. SE Core continues to produce terrain databases, common moving models, the virtual simulation architecture, changes to OneSAF, dynamic environment development, and common virtual components such as, but not limited to, after-action review, interoperability gateway, scenario generation tool, and C4I adapter. New requirements include, but are not limited to, common virtual training environment capability management for system and non-system TADSS, mission planning and rehearsal visualization capability, acquisition of terrain source data, SE Core to TADSS plug-in expansion, battlefield representation, semi-automated forces development and integration, exercise preparation and execution capabilities and definitions for the terms interoperability and fair fight. SE Core also facilitates integration and updates concerning the U.S. Army’s OneSAF and SE Core version releases into system and non-system virtual TADSS.
