A Vision for Future Virtual Training

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA473302 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Virtual training is not intended to replace live training it augments and supplements live training to sustain unit proficiency. The many advantages of virtual training are currently limited by lack of full interoperability with other virtual simulations, Live and Constructive training environments and battle command systems. In addition, the synthetic environment replicated in virtual training does not accurately represent the actual area of operations or local training areas. Army programs such as Synthetic Environment Core SE Core, the Future Combat System FCS, and the Live, Virtual, Constructive Integrated Architecture LVC-IA, along with science and technology initiatives, will greatly increase the capabilities and interoperability of the virtual training environment, resulting in a more accurately replication of the operational environment. The impacts of these programs on virtual training simulations lead to a proposed updated vision for future virtual training.
