To provide new and modern ranges capable of training, evaluating and stressing today’s Soldiers and their modern equipment in a realistic train-as-you-fight environment.
DESCRIPTION:
The Instrumented Ranges/Digital Range Training System (IR/DRTS) Program is the enabler of range modernization for heavy tactical vehicle training. IR/DRTS provides the infrastructure and instrumentation for Abrams, Bradley and Stryker live-fire gunnery training and qualifications and Combined Live Fire Exercises (CALFEX). IR/DRTS facilitates individual, collective live-fire training and qualification per Training Circular 25-8 with enhanced training data collection and AAR capabilities. IR/DRTS addresses emerging doctrinal requirements and enables new training techniques. They address the need to replace aging live-fire training infrastructures with a modern suite of digital capabilities. These training systems replace obsolete, inadequate training methods and equipment in order to stimulate new weapon systems, stress Soldiers, incorporate the Digitized Force, and provide enhanced training data collection and AAR capabilities. The system employs these capabilities on four standard digital ranges: Digital Multi-Purpose Range Complex (DMPRC), Digital Multi-Purpose Training Range (DMPTR), Battle Area Complex (BAX), and Digital Air Ground Integration Range (DAGIR). The system is scalable among these ranges and capabilities. The instrumented ranges utilize all available combat system’s capabilities and digitally integrate them to manage forces undergoing individual and collective live-fire training and qualification exercises.
