The Applied Imagery Laboratory (AIL) of the Software Engineering Directorate (SED) and the U.S. Army's Office of Economic and Manpower Analysis (OEMA) have formed a partnership to use the America's Army platform to develop U.S. Army Basic Skills Training devices (BST). The Software Engineering Directorate is part of the U.S. Army's Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) and is a recognized leader in supporting the acquisition, research, development and sustainment of some of the nation's most sophisticated weapon systems.
SED is leveraging the America's Army platform to develop training technology in direct support of Army Program Offices for combat systems including the Common Remote Operated Weapon Station (CROWS) that operates an M2 (.50 cal) machine gun, Mk19 grenade launcher, M249 or M240 remotely from inside an Up-Armored HMMWV. Other SED projects utilizing the America's Army platform include the BST devices for the Javelin, a shoulder-fired, man-portable, fire and forget, anti-tank missile system and the TOW Improved Target Acquisition System (ITAS), an optically tracked, wire-guided, anti-tank missile system fired from a ground tripod or from the top of a HMMWV.
SED and America's Army have partnered to enhance U.S. Army Basic Skills Training Devices with advanced features including:
- 3D first person immersion
- Mounted or dismounted capability
- Open terrain or urban exercises
- Realistic battlefield conditions
- Shoot-on-the-move
- Coordinate enemy attacks and responsive fire
- Networked collective training
- Communication using Voice Over IP for cooperative strategy
- Rapid prototyping using Unreal Scripting Language
