This includes AH-64, UH- 60, OH-58, CH-47 and UH-72. AADMS integrates TESS data from the aircraft SMart Onboard Data Interface Module (SMODIM) and Aviation Gateway data translator into the NTC Core Instrumentation System (CIS). AADMS has replaced and upgraded the aging Air Network Infrastructure and improved Radio Frequency (RF) coverage areas. Five solarpowered remote site tower assemblies replaced seven towers that were non-operational. Affected networks include test administration, Observer, Controller (OC) networks, CIS commands, and the AADMS player networks. The system passed extensive government acceptance tests in the harsh NTC environment and provided support during two unit rotations during implementation. AADMS SOLAR Tower AT FT IRWIN, CA (ntc) IR/DAGIR The Instrumented Ranges / Digital Air-Ground Integration Range (DRTS/DAGIR) at Range #83 Fort Bliss, Texas supports both fixed permanent and non-permanent infrastructures to allow for integration across sites and LVC mission domains. The IA compliant Aviation Integration Subsystem (AIS) integrates LBA-TESS into the DRTS overall system. LBA-TESS integration with the DRTS system data is accomplished through the Aviation Gateway data translator. The Aviation Gateway communicates with the SMODIM network and relays position/ location and weapon event data to the fixed range processor. During live training, the Aviation Workstation processes and stores live telemetry data and event messages, and correlates aircraft through-site video with event data. The DAGIR Aviation Gateway collects telemetry data from the air network infrastructure and forwards it to the secure DIS Gateway for integration with the exercise command and control system. The SMODIM Telemetry Test Kit (STTK) allows the fixed range to perform end-to-end testing of the DRTS and TESS components prior to the arrival of any aircraft.

9 HITS Aviation integrates aviation weapons training with ground force maneuvers for combined arms Force-on-Force exercises, real-time performance monitoring and After Action Review. NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURES HITS Aviation leverages LBA-TESS to integrate aviation players with HITS ground players and provide Force-on-Force/Force-on-Target collective training with real-time performance monitoring, After Action Reviews (AARs), and Take Home Packages (THPs). The Homestation Instrumentation Training System (HITS) Aviation integrates two U.S. Army fielded training systems: the Longbow Apache Tactical Engagement Simulation System (LBA-TESS), and Homestation Instrumentation Training System (HITS). While providing similar training, prior to this integration, these two systems did not interoperate. LBA-TESS provides advanced weapons training for AH-64D/E Longbow Apache crew (see page 15). HITS provides collective maneuver training for platoon through battalion unit ground forces. Aviation units instrumented with LBA-TESS utilize the ICE Smart Onboard Data Interface Module (SMODIM) and Aviation Gateway to transmit player and event data to remote tower sites via the telemetry network. Rack-mounted Relay Units (RRUs) located at the remote tower sites transmit data via ethernet to the Aviation Gateway located at the HITS EXCON. The Aviation Gateway receives RRU data messages and translates them to LT2 PUXML packets, then transmits them to the HITS EXCON via an XML gateway. Data transmitted from the Aviation Gateway conforms to the approved LT2 PU Interface Control Document (ICD). LBA-TESS (Fixed Range or AADMS) supports up to 15 RRUs and 135 aviation players at 1 Hertz update rate. The HITS Aviation Integration effort is in completion phase at Fort Riley, KS. Follow-on HITS Aviation locations include Fort Hood, TX and Fort Campbell, KY. The HITS training experience develops U.S. Army land forces that are decisive, confident, and adaptive by training on execution of simultaneous, noncontiguous operations in a demanding, stressful Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental and Multinational (JIIM) environment.
