Joint Readiness Training Center Observer/Controller Communications System (JRTC-IS)
Orlando, FL
To procure, install, integrate and support a Project 25 (P25)-compliant, narrow-band Observer Controller Communications System (OCCS) at the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) in order to replace the existing EDACS OCCS, meet the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) mandate, and satisfy the DoD policy for P25 compliance.
Integrated Test Bed Facility
Rome, NY
The ITB's avionics system is composed of multiple high performance processors, embedded software, and data communication systems. The avionics embedded software is a real-time implementation, in DoD standard Ada, operating across multiple processors and processor types. The ITB provides a real-time, crew-in-the-loop, full mission simulation/stimulation system. A high performance simulation host computer provides the mission environment along with several airframe models and drives out-the-window scene and sensor image generators. This provides the pilot (the avionics system evaluator) with a familiar operating environment. The system is designed to be modularly expandable and has been interfaced with an electronic warfare avionics laboratory and a communication/ navigation avionics laboratory, thus forming the foundation for a full avionics system hot-bench, Avionics Wind Tunnel.
High Performance Computing
Rome, NY
Its mission is to support the unclassified RDT&E; efforts of all components of the Department of Defense (DoD) by providing interactive remote and local access to hardware, software, and user services with special attention to applications and missions supporting C4ISR.
Directed Energy Test Science & Technology (DET S&T;)
Orlando, FL
DET S&T; is a multi-year Instrumentation Management Office (IMO) executed effort that is sponsored by the Department of Defense (DoD) Test Resource Management Center (TRMC). Because current DoD directed energy test infrastructure is missing or inadequate to support future T&E; objectives of DE systems/ threats, DET S&T; provides timely investments to mature technologies that fill critical current and future test gaps identified by the Directed Energy Test & Evaluation Capability (DETEC) Tri-Service Study Update and DoD test ranges/facilities. Annually, DET S&T; releases their Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) soliciting off errors to fill several outlined DE test gaps via projects to mature technology readiness levels from three up to a goal of six. Upon verification in a DoD test range environment, S&T; prototypes are transitioned to DoD test facilities to support upcoming DE tests or future follow-on test infrastructure engineering developments (i.e., DETEC). As of FY2008, DET S&T; team has a portfolio of over 20 projects ranging from HEL onboard sensors, multi-waveband imagers, HPM non-intrusive miniaturized sensors and target boards, and various modeling and simulation tools for potential transition to DoD DE test facilities. With common IMO management and synergy with DET S&T; and DETEC programs, S&T; investments are aligned to support mature DETEC priorities and acquisitions as risk reductions, analysis of alternative candidates and pre-planned product improvements.
Unmanned Aerial System Target (UAS-T)
Orlando, FL
The UAS-T provides a visual and performance representation of the class of Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle (UAV) systems likely to be currently employed against U.S. and allied forces or in the foreseeable future. The air vehicle can be controlled manually by the CloudCap Piccolo autopilot and by the Target Tracking and Control System - UHF (TTCS-U) that are available on most Department of Defense test ranges. The UAS-T air vehicle incorporates a programmable autopilot to support a wide variety of repeatable flight profiles to represent UAV operations in a variety of mission profiles. UAS-T systems have been available to support test and training needs from April 2008 with existing prototype air vehicles. Production systems will be available beginning in 2009 to support target requirements.
