Advancing Training Capabilities to Maintain Battlefield Dominance and Soldier Lethality
The
Synthetic and Simulation Training summit will discuss the current and future direction and utilization of virtual training & simulation technologies throughout the Military, Academia, Commercial Aviation, and Gaming sectors to ultimately allow military leaders the ability to plan, prepare, execute, and assess training events through minimal time, money, and people.
The Army is looking to collaborate with cross functional teams, industry, and academia to develop the
synthetic training environment (STE) and streamline the acquisition process. Through thought leadership and technology demonstrations, the summit will provide direction and support for moving forward with STE advancements, improved acquisition processes, and finding an inexpensive requirements development process. Additionally, the summit will cover next steps for our current virtual Combined Arms Tactical Trainers which require high-overhead, are mainly facilities based, and have a very limited global terrain capability. We are excited to cover tactics and solutions that will allow units to conduct training on the terrain they will eventually fight on.
