Mission
Synthetic Training Environment - Live Training System (STE-LTS) is the Army’s next generation live training system. At the center of STE-LTS is the development of the 12 engagement types and 5 instrumentation enablers ("12+5"). STE-LTS will provide new and improved capabilities incrementally, starting with the CTCs, for addressing live training engagement gaps. STE-LTS Increment 1(Inc 1) will address mature technologies associated with indirect fire, placed objects, thrown objects, and guided weapons to fill existing live training gaps.
The Stinger Training System is to provide realistic and immersive training for military personnel, enabling them to effectively operate and maintain the Stinger missile system in a variety of combat scenarios and to simulates the complexities of real-world engagements, allowing users to develop the skills and confidence needed to accurately detect, track, and engage enemy aircraft, while minimizing the risks and costs associated with live-fire training.
Description
The Stinger Training System requires a gunner to execute all tasks related to Stinger operation and target engagement The life-sized Stinger trainer, connects to range instrumentation and provides realistic training without emitting projectiles or RF emissions from the simulated Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) antenna. The Stinger Training System mirrors the actual dimensions, weight and firing sequence of a real stinger weapon system.
