5 REAL-TIME CONNECTIVITY 5

6 CHANGE AGENTS Near peer / peer competitors Acquisition of technical capabilities Realistic training for warfighter Weapons system capabilities & employment Scale of demand for Test and Training 6

7 CAPABILITY-BASED ACQUISITION OUPACING THE THREAT Digital Thread Enables Rapid Delivery of Integrated Capabilities Enabling Capabilities-Based T&E System models form Constructive basis for LVC M&S environment Constructive Virtual Live Integrated Warfare Analysis establishes CONEMPS and Effects-Chains SYSTEM MODEL SoS MODEL CONEMPS and Effects Chains are modeled at the System of Systems (SoS) level Digital Linkage Systems are developed in a Model-Based environment (SE Transformation) 7 LVC-based training maximizes Fleet proficiency

8 EVOLVING SUPPORT DEMAND USFF Fleet Design Stretch Goals Human-Machine Integration (HMI) with Artificial Intelligence (AI) Integrated and Autonomous UxS Integrated Training, Exercise, Wargame, Experimentation, Acquisition, and Operations Live-Virtual-Constructive Environment/Network 8

9 FLEET DESIGN Training must: Be realistic, responsive and adaptive Account for the breadth of fleet capabilities Provide a comprehensive approach to train warfighters to fight as a fleet Be available pier-side and underway Be compatible with the fleet tactical grid Include a comprehensive approach to training across the fleet from the tactical to the operational level of war Provide Theater-Force level capability and capacity wholeness 9
