20160104 - VTESS Performance Specification Scope This Performance Specification defines the efforts for the production of the Instrumentable Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (IMILES) Vehicle Tactical Engagement Simulation System (VTESS). The requirements for this document are derived from MILES 2000 Operational Requirements Document (ORD) for Replacement of Ground Direct Fire Tactical Engagement Systems (TES) Devices, Cards Number 0291, and revised July 1996. All requirements in this Performance Specification are threshold requirements unless specifically annotated as objective requirements.

Background The U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), Project Manager Training Devices (PM TRADE), Product Manager Live Training Systems (PM LTS) has an immediate need to evolve and procure the IMILES VTESS. IMILES VTESS is a product within the I-MILES program of record and is also one system within in a larger Live Training System of Systems (SoS). The IMILES VTESS acquisition will complete the Basis of Issue (BOI) and potentially replace older legacy systems. The IMILES VTESS will provide a more realistic training capability, reduce life cycle costs, and integrate emerging commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) or modified COTS technologies.

PM TRADE’s TESS acquisition strategy is shifting from the acquisition of contractor specific system configurations to scalable, component based configurations that can be used across a variety of platforms, Soldiers and infrastructure. The basis for this strategy is the Component Architecture (CA) as defined in the Live Training Transformation (LT2) Tactical Engagement Simulation System (TESS) Component Architecture Foundation Overview, LT2 TESS CA-001. The CA segregates key functional devices used in the live training environment into major individual components and related software that communicate via non-proprietary wired and wireless network standards. The major components defined by the CA are the same types of components developed by industry over the past 20+ years and integrated for the delivery of live training systems. However, the CA replaces proprietary intra-component network communications with a common networking standard to enable components, independent of manufacturer, to interoperate with the TESS instrumentation network. The intra-component network specified in the CA adheres to the Live Player Area Network (LPAN) Interface Standard, PRF-PT-00549. LPAN utilizes commercially proven products to support TESS network and messaging. The standard defines the physical characteristics, protocols and messages communicated on the LPAN. It provides both wired (USB data) and wireless (ZigBee 802.15.4) interfaces and messaging structures to enable individual components to operate as a system.

Historically, TESS system software for managing and interfacing with components and performing Real Time Casualty Assessment (RTCA) has been developed by the Contractor for each TESS acquisition. Although interoperability is ensured by conforming to the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) Communication Code (MCC) Standard, PMT90-S002 and the IS-TESS Interface Standard, PRF-PT-00552, the software delivered has been proprietary, inhibiting re-use and scalability without costly modifications. PM TRADE has developed an architectural framework based on open standards and Government owned software that will enable re-use across TESS hardware configurations and acquisitions. Implementation of the Live Training Engagement Composition (LTEC) framework will result in reduced system development costs, enable scalability, and ensure a fair fight during exercises using systems from different vendors. LTEC is a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) that consists of a collection of software services that either perform training simulation or communicate with TESS components. These services are supported by a framework that facilitates communication between services as specified in the Live Training Engagement Composition (LTEC) Interface Control Document (ICD), PRF-PT-00608. The current LTEC baseline is available for download from the LT2 Portal (www.lt2portal.mil) by Government and Industry partners who sign Distribution Agreements with PM TRADE.

Audio (Non-Intercom Capable Vehicles) and Visual Signals IMILES VTESS shall emit voice messages to indicate casualty assessments. The voice messages shall be emitted after the tone, and shall not exceed 74 dB +14/-6 dB when measured 0.60 meters from the signal source. The below casualty emitted tones shall be 74 dB+14/-6 dB when measured 0.60 meters from the signal source. For a non-catastrophic kill assessment, each tone shall be 0.5 second long.
