Welcome to “MC-ITS Industry Day” Marine Corps – Instrumentation Training System (MC-ITS) Industry Day 14 June 2011
Agenda 0900-0905 Introductions / Welcome – Mr. Luis Garcia, APM Instrumentation 0905-0915 Opening remarks – Col David Smith, PM TRASYS 0915-0935 Requirements Review – Mr. Pete O’Halloran, DAPM Instrumentation 0935-0950 Acquisition Strategy – Mr. John Lynch, PM TRASYS Contracting Officer 0950-1000 Closing remarks / Questions & Answers – Mr. Luis Garcia, APM Instrumentation
Marine Corps Instrumentation Training System (MC-ITS) Description / Summary of Program Requirements • MC-ITS assists Marines plan, control in near real time, and assess unit performance during exercises supported by a wide spectrum of Live training systems as well as exercises possessing connectivity to Virtual simulators and Constructive simulations. • MC-ITS receives: PLI from IRSS, MDS, IGRS, and I-TESS; video clips from TVCS and organic cameras; tactical audio recordings from TACS; battle rosters and / or MSELS from RIPPLE; and supports exercise control of MC-TIED/CVRJ training events. This information facilitates the presentation of After Action Reviews (AARs) for up to Battalion sized elements. • The MC-ITS mobile system can easily support company operations and track 700 live entities and the fixed system version can track 3,000 entities. • Locations: Quantico, VA; Camp Lejeune, NC; Camp Pendleton, CA; 29 Palms, CA; Hawaii; and Okinawa, JP. Period of Performance Milestones (Production Phase) Acquisition Strategy • Full and Open Competition • Best Value: Trade-off Analysis • 2nd Qtr FY 12 to 2th Qtr FY 17 1st Qtr FY 122nd Qtr FY 12 RFP Contract Release Award Current Contract / Original Developer Point of Contact Funding • $5M - 25M • (Note: Presently unfunded) PM TRASYS Phone: 407 381-8762 Email: pmtrasys@usmc.mil • Original Developer: - Lockheed Martin
MC-ITS Requirements Topics Review of Requirements Documents Current Functionality – What it does today System Performance Goals – General Thoughts Development Strategy Questions
Requirement Documents • RIS-ORD • RM/T CDD [Draft] • IIT UUNS • LVC-TE ICD • SITE ICD Observations and Comment: • Nearly the Same T&R Events Appear in Each Reference • These Documents Point to Very Similar – if Not the Same – Training Capabilities • Fortunately – Only One Set of “Physics” in the Battle Space • “Solve IT Once, Use IT Often”
Operational Requirements Document for Range Instrumentation System (“RIS-ORD”) …support exercise planning, scenario development, exercise control, and includes an after-action review capability. … data can be recorded and manipulated for use in the after-action reviews. … centralized monitoring, tracking, and control from an operations center using individual, aircraft, and vehicle instrumentation devices, data and voice communication infrastructure, computer hardware and software, and presentation equipment for the generation of after-action reviews (AAR). … enables real-time position tracking, status reporting, and engagement adjudication for all participants within the training range. …inject computer-generated forces into the training scenario … … integrate with other training systems … … the ultimate goal is a mobile RIS.
Range Modernization Transformation – Capability Development Document RM/T-CDD [DRAFT] … create and coordinate activitieswithin the live event environment. … will display and permit the manipulation of the state data in near real time and without event interruption to any of following live training environment components: Personnel, Communications, Tactical Graphics, Weapons, Projectiles / Fragmentation, Equipment, Vehicles, Aircraft, Logistics, Terrain, and Structures. … will support the exercise control’s need to track, record, manipulate, and display at a central location the performance of each training systemin near real time … …AAR will present correlated dataon: tactical planning, detections, personnel, vehicles, boats, aircraft, logistics, communications, engagements, repairs, and movements. …will create, retrieve, display, sort, manipulate, and distribute data from both operational C2 systems and the LVC training systems …
Infantry Immersion Trainer (IIT) – Urgent Universal Need Statement (UUNS) Existing infrastructure … is not capable of the integration of the capabilities sufficient to meet this requirement. … a fully immersive squad-level training capability that is controlled in order to achieve the desired mission essential tasks, training requirements, and learning Objectives … Feedback to the training audience is instantaneous and in-stride and is response to the interactions with entities through kinetic and non-kinetic effects. Likewise, after-action review shall be able to record and playback each entity’s movements, orientation, and communications. … facilitate a rapid ability to conduct trend analysis …
Squad Immersive Training Environment (SITE) – Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) Establish professional training cadres to function as exercise design and control Controlling engagements in a non-kinetic environment. … meets JOpsC interoperability requirements and is scalable to focus training from the team to the single squad level. … conduct mission planning and rehearsal and assess outcomes. AAR for training transfer and performance assessment. … assess decision-making skills of squad leaders Capable of voice recognition, full motion tracking, image generation, sound reproduction, effects simulation including environmental conditions, scenery, infrastructure, military and civilian vehicles, ambient noise, weapons effects, and explosions.
Live, Virtual and Constructive – Training Environment (LVC-TE) Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) … must possess common tools that facilitate timely exercise control and execution of "Event" objectives. … must provide a robust, thorough, and effective assessment of "event" objectives. … facilitate the execution and control of an LVC-TE “Event.” Execution is the ability to … achieve the desired “Event” objectives. Control is the ability to effect a change at any point during an LVC-TE “Event” in order to facilitate the desired event objectives. … ability to assess the effectiveness of the LVC-TE “Event” by conducting after action reviews (AAR): correlating “Event” actions with … training objectives, providing an objective evaluation … … maintain a continuously available LVC-TE for MAGTF elements under any specific condition or set of conditions.
