1 SCOPE
1.1 Scope
This specification covers the Joint Terminal Control Training and Rehearsal System (JTC TRS). This document establishes the Government’s requirements for system performance.
1.2 System Overview
JTC TRS is a mission simulation system that has applicability for training personnel in all services (Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force). The JTC TRS functionality is designed to provide realistic Terminal Attack Control (TAC), Close Air Support (CAS), and Call for Fire (CFF) coordination, training, and mission rehearsal. JTC TRS provides a robust, interactive multimedia, High Level Architecture (HLA) or Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) compliant system. The system will provide constructive entity control, realistic flight mission profiles, representative ordnance and effects, and support or include actual or simulated military equipment. The JTC TRS supplements field training to provide realistic introductory training, upgrade training, proficiency training, continuation training and mission rehearsal in a synthetic battlespace. The JTC TRS can support multiple modes of operation from an individual controller executing Terminal Control Operations (TCO), up to a small team conducting long-haul, networked, Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) missions using multiple scenarios. It is capable of processing and displaying an accurate air/ground scene representing virtual and constructive forces generated locally or in the DMO environment. The JTC TRS utilizes a simulated, stimulated, and emulated equipment suite to support the immersive environment. System configuration and performance capabilities are interoperable, modular, and scalable to allow selectable configuration options. JTC TRS is planned to be procured as a production ready off the shelf device to meet this performance specification. The foreseeable life of the JTC TRS shall be a minimum of 15 years.
