SLATE ATD Background SLATE program specifics What & How Questions/Discussion Overview
Live, Virtual, and Constructive Training Enterprise Defined Seamlessly blending Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) assets Live: Real People in Real Ops Systems Virtual: Real People in Simulated Systems Constructive: Computer Generated LVC Enterprise: An Open, Secure, Persistent Infrastructure for Training and Ops 3
Secure LVC Advanced Training Environment (SLATE) Background Builds on ACC/AFRL LVC Pilot Project, 2012 SAF/AQ, COMACC and AFMC/CC determined add l tech maturation and risk reduction required prior to LVC Program of Record (ACC ASR), Apr 2014 AFRL (711 HPW/RHA) tasked to execute Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD) for tech maturation/risk reduction Fully funded FY14 FY17 by AFRL ($40M) and SAF/AQ ($7M) Commissioned as Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD) at ACC Applied Technology Council, Feb 2015
Fifth Gen JORD Requirement 5.3.8.2.(U) Training Environments. The fifth gen Training System must provide for individualized, group and team training 1 environments. The Training system must be capable of incorporating live, virtual, and constructive environments, including local and distributed training 2, throughout the training continuum 3. The training System must be interoperable with USAF, USMC, USN, and UK 4 distributed mission training capability implementation. The Training System must provide a continuous learning 5 environment for aircrew and maintainers including briefing, debriefing, mission planning, and mission/maintenance task rehearsal. Fifth gen training must integrate selfassessment tools that provide feedback to the user and input to the training management system 6. 1 = Multi-MDS 4 = Multi Level Security 2 = Live/Sim connectivity (DMO/NCTE) 3 = Tethered/UnTethered Ops 5 = Learning Management System 6 = Proficiency Based Training MILS, although the only validated requirement, is not the most important 5
CAF ADAIR Req't (Sorties) 140000 120000 100000 80000 60000 40000 20000 0 USAF Adversary Air Training Needs Today Capacity 2020 Capacity 2030 Capacity Live + V+C Live: T-X ADAIR Live: Contract ADAIR Live: T-38 ADAIR Live: AGRS Live: Self-Gen USAFWC Rqmt 5th Gen Rqmt 4th Gen Rqmt 80,000 VC sorties in 2030 70% of live adversary training LVC must be 5 th Gen CAF-wide capable (commonality), to include adversary air (T-X) Aggressors must be able to materially participate There are zero solutions on the table that satisfy this requirement besides ATD 6
SLATE ATD Charter 1. Validate LVC infrastructure, interface control and data standards with a government owned, non-proprietary focus 2. Demonstrate Multiple Independent Levels of Security (MILS) encryption technology and rule sets 3. Evaluate throughput of MILS encryptor, radio and 5G-ATW waveform 4. Demonstrate both Pod and LRU form factors 5. Develop select weapon system OFP changes with vendors aligned with CAF training priorities (Direct risk reduction and leave behind for PoR) 6. Document training benefits and opportunities resulting from integration of LVC Every effort being made for exportability across infrastructure 7
NOT SLATE ATD Charter 1. Fly 5 th Gen (F-35) Aircraft (time and funding for LM) 2. Fly NSA accredited MILS 3. F-15E test beyond SLATE basic implementation (weapons) 4. DMON certification of any range (not an appropriate SLATE effort) 5. Cyber certification efforts 6. Everything else (a long list) 8
LVC Enterprise Systems Engineering Ground Interface No Changes at this time Airborne Interface Datalink Virtual/Constructive Network (DMO) Range Infrastructure & Data Link Un-tethered Datalink, OFP Translate, Encryptor, Secure data Transmitter, CDS, Waveform, Simulation Models / Processing,, Msn Planning Aircraft OFP Vendors (4 th /5 th Gen) Aircraft Simulated Model Vendors (Radar, RWR, IFF, NCTR, IRST, WPNS) Hardware vendors (Targeting Pod/EOTS, HTS Pod, RWR, DAS, Radars, IFF,) OFP Mod 4 th /5 th Gen Multiple Enterprises = huge systems engineering challenge (reason for ATD) 9
Capstone Scenario = Pods (18) NTTR is the only range with combination of size, resident live threats, flight test organization, and infrastructure to facilitate the SLATE flight tests in the ATD timeframe
