Route Clearance Training Services (RCTS)

Thee initial Route Clearance Training Services (RCTS) Phase I utilizes two self-contained mobile trailers containing: four Buffalo simulators (driver and co-driver positions), two Husky simulators virtually represented visually/physically using the Buffalo simulator as a Husky, two RG-31 simulators (driver, commander, gunner positions), Instructor Operator Station (IOS) with an After Action Review capability. The Route Clearance Training Services (RCTS) provides classroom instruction and a mobile virtual simulator environment (VRCT) owned, operated and maintained by the contractor. The vehicle simulators are networked for collective route clearance mission training and can also provide individual skill training. The simulator incorporates the actual MPCV Arm Control Box, MPCV Arm Camera Control Box and Camera View Select Box. The RG-31 simulator also incorporates the M2 crew-served weapon; metal detection and marking system capability is incorporated for the Husky. The instructor can also modify scenario conditions and events such as Improvised Explosive Device (IED) explosions in real time allowing flexibility in training. The Route Clearance Training Services Phase II will consist of eight additional RCTS Suites with the same or additional capabilities as the initial VRCT.
