To enhance the training and mission rehearsal capabilities for our Warfighters to ensure that the Army's virtual simulation systems are fully integrated, interoperable and compatible with live and constructive training systems so that our Warfighters can truly "train as they fight."
DESCRIPTION:
SE Core encompasses the Army's overarching strategy of developing virtual simulation systems that help make our Warfighters the best trained in the world. The two primary initiatives under the SE Core program are the Architecture and Integration (A&I) and the Database Virtual Environment Development (DVED). The A&I's primary mission is architecture analysis and development of the Virtual Simulation Architecture (VSA) to provide a Common Virtual Environment (CVE) that links system and non-system virtual simulations into a fully-integrated and interoperable training capability. The VSA utilizes a product line approach that emphasizes systematic reuse and interoperability and provides the foundation and guidelines for developing Common Virtual Components (CVCs). The CVCs will enable plug-and-play operation and will be designed to provide common training elements for use within the Army's virtual simulation domain. Through commonality, the VSA and CVCs will reduce future development and life-cycle costs. In addition, A&I is integrating the U.S. Army's One Semi-Automated Forces (OneSAF) into both the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT) and the Aviation Combined Arms Tactical Trainer (AVCATT) systems. DVED's primary mission is to rapidly generate correlated simulation system runtime databases for supported simulation systems. A master SE Core database is populated from a union of multiple authoritative data sources by using a DVED-defined software architecture, processes and a suite of commercial and government-off-the-shelf database development software tools. The DVED architecture and tools will enable the generation of master SE Core databases in hours or days vice months. The DVED effort will also develop common virtual vehicle models, common virtual sensor simulation software and virtual simulation components. With SE Core as the foundation, the Army will leverage existing virtual simulation systems as well as expand the overall use of virtual simulation within live, virtual and constructive environments to support ongoing Army transformation.
