Army Envisions Global 3D Terrain Map As Future PNT Aid For Operations
Brig. Gen. William Glaser, head of the Army's Synthetic Training Environment effort, said his team is "very proud" of One World Terrain because it "really just started off as an idea within the simulations community, but it's expanded out significantly into the operational community."
eBullet Brings Richer Realism To Army Training; No More Laser Tag
A new training network will simulate the effects of weapons — from mortars and grenades to, potentially, germ warfare — and tell troops if they’re “killed” or “wounded,” then play the whole exercise back for AI analysis. One Army engineer told us: “We’ve never been able to train this stuff, never.”

Virtual Training Will Save Real Army Lives: Close Combat Task Force
PENTAGON: Of all the technologies and tactics that the defense secretary’s Close Combat Lethality Task Force has looked at, I asked one battle-hardened noncom here this morning, what’s the one thing you personally think has the most potential to save lives? His answer wasn’t a bigger gun or a new drone. Instead, Sgt. Major Jason […]
War Games: Army Deletes Bureaucracy To Get Sims Fast
There is real uncertainty whether such things as robotic tanks and high-speed scout helicopters are possible on the Army's timeline. But if there's one area where a high-speed approach can work, it's training simulations, where the Army can piggyback on the rapid development in commercial gaming.

What should the device show the soldier? "Where am I? Where are my buddies? And where is the enemy?" said Gen. Townsend. "Then other stuff could be optional.”
War Games: Army Replacing 1980s Simulators With Gaming Tech
The first phase of the Synthetic Training Environment initiative replaces existing simulators for vehicles. The second phase aims to create — in just two years — something the Army’s never had before: an “immersive” virtual training environment for troops on foot.
