The Army needs to better “replicate a multi-domain environment in a simulation” in order to train units, Col. Scott Woodward said.

The CMOSS Mounted Form Factor will facilitate tech insertion for new capabilities while co-existing with the Mounted Family of Computer Systems.
This past fiscal year, the OWT delivered about 2 million square kilometers of 3D datasets to a range of partners, supporting training, operational, and intelligence needs, per the Army.
By Andrew Eversden 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.”

In new simulations, Gen. Paul Funk says, “we’re trying to replicate downtown Baghdad to the window, to the door knob.” How do you simplify masses of data so soldiers can use it for practical training?

The Army wants $985 million for modernization, from Apache gunships and 8×8 Strykers to safety improvements at ammunition plants. We have the list.

The Army’s 2021 budget request trims the troubled Next Generation Combat Vehicle program 11 percent while raising spending on its other modernization priorities – more than doubling investments in new high-tech infantry kit.

A new approach to speed, scale and efficiency for the industrial base
Radars, EW, EO/IR, space imagery, and microelectronics are brought under one roof for a streamlined approach to common people and factories.
Four military installations, yet to be named, will host experiments in VR training, tracking supplies in “smart warehouses,” and – most importantly – sharing scarce spectrum.

Gary Blohm, director of the Army Geospatial Center, said 3D is important to troop training and to operational planning because it “helps us navigate, especially when we get to urban environments.”
By Theresa Hitchens The Army may need to delay the rollout of the new technology, scale it down, or both.
By Theresa Hitchens But building a global 3D terrain database will require wrangling huge amounts of data, Maj. Gen. Maria Gervais told us.

After decades using the same clunky simulators, the Army is about to buy new sims drawing on the latest innovations in online gaming.

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…

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.
