SAIC Technologies featured at ITEC 2009
As a leading technical and integration services company, SAIC solves customers’ most important mission-critical challenges through innovative applications of technology and domain knowledge. They showcase SAIC’s expertise in live, virtual and constructive training and simulation solutions at SAIC stand E-153 at ITEC 2009. Here are highlights of key featured solutions.
- Test fire the next generation of wireless, state-of-the-art Tactical Engagement Simulation System (TESS) Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) technology using M16s in the Shooting Gallery and learn how this system supports live tactical training exercises with high-fidelity detection for real-time casualty assessment.
- See the new capabilities in One Semi-automated Forces (OneSAF®) that integrate with Joint Theater Level Simulation (JTLS) to provide next generation, composable simulation inside special areas of interest within larger multi-resolution federations, and enable representation of predefined and ad hoc high interest units at the entity level.
Next-Generation, wireless Tactical Engagement Simulation Systems (TESS) Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) laser-based products and M16 Test Firing SAIC’s state-of-the-art TESS training technology is the next generation MILES laser-based products for large scale, live military tactical training exercises and mission rehearsal. The wireless, modular, MILES, state-of-the-art, laser-based systems are easy to install and adaptable to the user. The lightweight, interoperable components help to minimize interference with training and weapon systems and allow for combining different wireless components to fit training needs. This makes the TESS MILES one of the most adaptable and flexible systems available today for the dismounted and mounted soldier.
The Individual Weapon System (IWS) is wireless, making it transparent to the warfighter. It is quick and easy to install, eliminating the distracting cables and harnesses associated with other MILES systems. The Instrumented MILES Combat Vehicle System (IMILES CVS) interoperates with the IWS System. The interoperable components that make up the IMILES CVS system are highly adaptable to other combat vehicles and weapons systems.
Through its modular design, the MK-19 Simulator Player Unit provides an interoperable solution that simulates the firing and actual effects of an MK-19 in a MILES environment. It provides the common approach for the Stryker Remote Weapon Station, M113 pintle mount, AAV, Humvee (HMMWV), and ground mount.
The lightweight, low power MILES components are interoperable from the dismounted warrior (IWS) to mounted Combat Vehicle Systems (CVS) and scalable to large live exercises at military training ranges. The modular design of the IWS and IMILES CVS facilitate lower life cycle costs and flexibility of use. Major components of the wireless MILES IWS and CVS are designed to support the U.S. Army MILES, One Tactical Engagement Simulation System (OneTESS), and Operational Test – Tactical Engagement System (OT-TES) programs and will meet current and future EU and international combat training center and home-station training needs.
“SAIC TESS MILES products represent a significant step toward our goal of embedding training and achieving convergence in live, virtual and constructive offerings,” said Beverly Seay, SAIC senior vice president and ASSET business unit general manager. “SAIC is uniquely positioned to provide governments across the globe with tactical, engagement simulation systems containing current and next generation products and technologies. We are transforming the live training industry by successfully fielding an advanced wireless system for laser-based tactical training, substantially reducing the life cycle logistics cost for those systems. We are very excited about these products and the capability they bring to SAIC’s live training simulation solutions.”
The chance to test fire the next generation of wireless, state-of-the-art TESS MILES technology using M16s in SAIC’s Shooting Gallery at stand E-153 ITEC 2009 and learn how this system supports live tactical training exercises with high-fidelity detection for real-time casualty assessment was offered.
New OneSAF capabilities and integration with Joint Theater Level Simulation (JTLS) brigade and above SAIC is integrating OneSAF with JTLS to provide OneSAF’s next generation, composable simulation capabilities and technology to expanding domestic and international audiences. By establishing a functional interface between OneSAF and JTLS, OneSAF can now be employed inside special areas of interest within a much larger multi-resolution federation. This enables representation of predefined and ad hoc high interest units at the entity level.
OneSAF is the computer-generated forces system that addresses short comings within the current multi-resolution federation while representing a wide range of operations, systems, and control processes–from individual combatants to brigades and above. Standards-based and adaptable, OneSAF is designed to flexibly incorporate new components and evolve with new technologies. SAIC can also expand OneSAF capabilities beyond current forces to include models of future forces that do not yet exist. OneSAF provides a comprehensive, composable, extensible, and reusable simulation resource to meet a wide range of experimentation, analysis, and training needs for the current and future force.
