1.TRAINING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1.1Scope

This System Requirements Document (SRD) describes the requirements for the Common Driver Trainer (CDT). The CDT will assist in the training of tactical vehicle drivers during Initial Entry Training (IET) and sustainment as described in this document’s Appendices. The simulator(s) will enable training in the critical driver tasks that can repetitively train in a simulator and are dangerous and/or infrequently trained in the "real world" (i.e. driving on ice, fording streams, driving under blackout conditions, driving down steep embankments when coming off an improved road, etc.). The CDT will be reconfigurable to accommodate the different vehicle variants as defined in the individual SRDs included as appendices to this document. The CDT vehicle platform will be composed of common modules along with a specific module for the different vehicle variants. The components of the specific module will be the driver’s compartment, instruments, controls, for the driver, and the software required operating the driver compartment and interacting with the common modules. The driver training scenarios can be "scripted" to practice driving the same tactical, terrain and traffic conditions repetitively, with random variations in traffic along the same route. The training scenarios can also be executed “unscripted,” allowing instructor commanded variations of route and environmental conditions. Automated scoring of the driver during trainer scenarios ensures that training evaluation is consistent among all the students. In addition, as future vehicles define, the CDT Virtual Product Line (VPL) will grow to accommodate any new requirements that are not currently define in this document.

1.2 Background

The U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), Product Manager for Virtual Training Systems (PdM VTS) has a requirement for driver training simulators to support the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) schools with institutional drivers training and to support operational units with sustainment drivers training. The United States Marine Corps (USMC) Operator Driver Simulator (ODS) program’s primary purpose is to provide both entry-level and sustainment-level training for USMC Motor Transport and incidental motor vehicle operators. USMC also has requirements for driver training simulator to support The Training Education Command (TECOM). Schools with institutional driver training will support operational units with sustainment driver training. The CDT product line is the Army’s and USMC preferred solution for initial entry level and sustainment driver trainer needs. This product line encompasses driver training simulators for military wheeled, tracked and specialty vehicles, to include both tactical and non-tactical vehicles, utilizing a common platform. Each CDT system will be reconfigurable to accommodate the different vehicle variants as defined in the product system specifications.

Currently, the Army has procured 53 CDT systems (13 in the mobile system trailer training configuration and 40 in the fixed/facility configuration) and 69 specific variant cabs. This includes a Stryker Variant (SV) cab, Mine Resistance Ambush Protected (MRAP) Variant (MV) cab, Tank Variant (TV) cab that can configure as a Tank Engineering Variant (TEV) and a Tactical Wheeled Variant (TWV) cab under development. Currently, USMC PM TRASYS has procured 96 ODS systems (54 in the mobile system trailer training configuration, i.e. 19 at active duty sites and 35 at reserve sites; along with 42 in the fixed/facility configuration, i.e. 41at active duty sites and one at a reserve site). The variants ODS currently include: the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) cab, the Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) cab, the Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) Buffalo and Cougar cabs, and the MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) cab.
