Live Virtual Constructive Integrated Training Environment (LVC-ITE)

LVC-IA & Infrastructure

LVC Integrating

Architecture

Provides interoperability and integration of LVCG systems w/Battle Command Systems IA consists of: • Standards, Protocols, Specifications • Hardware and Software • Databases • Interfaces • Information Exchange

LVC Training

Infrastructure

The LVC infrastructure includes installations’ foundational elements and components needed to perform net-centric battle command training. Infrastructure consists of: •Facilities, Power •Networks/Security •Communication systems/spectrum •Personnel •Management Structure & Organization •Training Support Systems (TADSS)

LVC-IA = Program of Record

Increment 1 Focus - Brigade Combat Team (BCT)

- Home Station Training - BCTC is LVC Hub - Existing TADSS

(Increment 2-N)

Way Ahead for Ft Bliss and the Army

• Gaming technologies integration (VBS2, etc.,)

• Integrate new TADSS, ranges (i.e.,

virtual dismounted soldier, digital ranges, urban villages, etc)

• Integrate new and future Battle Command systems

• Reach capability to other installations, COES, ranges, Joint Services, test facilities. (CTCs, test ranges, joint exercises, etc.,)

(FY 13+) (FY 12)

Increment 2 (and beyond) Focus - Expanding the ITE beyond the

installation boundaries - Integrating future TADSS

- Joint/Multinational training
