TH E CHALLE N G E The US military has evolved to be the greatest ghting force in history.

However, the amount of time and effort required to learn the art and science of warghting, across the full range of

military operations in volatile and dynamic environments, has increased signicantly.

While U.S. Army classrooms have improved the availability of education technologies, several inefciencies in

the delivery of virtual training exercises remain. These inefciencies

are limiting students ability to

visualize multiple perspectives, realize knowledge gaps, and apply relevant feedback. Our team set out to overcome these challenges by designing a distributed learning technology solution for virtual battleeld

classroom training.

TH E PRO CE SSE S We began the project by working closely with military instructors and students, listening to their needs rst-hand. We then incorporated that feedback

into various prototypes and usability testing cycles. With each iteration, Threat Tecs

technology team moved closer to a solution that met the needs of the end-users.

TH E R E SU LT OpEx is that solution. It

is a virtual battleeld exercise

training software, designed to adapt to various technological environments and produce real time results for our nations military. Each

feature has been designed to address specic end-user

needs and comply with military doctrine and standards. In the end, OpEx is a revolutionary solution that not only

performs well, but is adaptable enough to meet the diverse needs of both schoolhouse instruction and unit professional development.

MU LTI PLE L AY E R S AN D PE R SPEC TIV E S As leaders prepare their battle plan, they are able to

switch between customized perspectives. This allows students to learn by experiencing

the multiple perspectives.

FLE XI B LE ARCH ITEC T U R E Because of the pace of technological development, it is essential to anticipate and accommodate variable software environments. OpExs custom, lightweight

architecture allows for swift integration into existing

exercise simulation systems used by the US Army.

SY N C M ATR IX PL AN N I N G During execution, students can plan and trigger

sequential actions on the y, building a

synchronization matrix. This built-in adaptability and

smart-graphic integration mimics how plans are built in the eld, giving trainees a realistic training platform.

playback feature allows the student to review mission execution in real-time from multiple perspectives.

SI MU L ATE D WE APO NS Our armory is well-stocked with a broad selection of foreign weapons and equipment. These specialized systems, common to many threat organizations and military forces, are used by our Threat Emulators and Red Teams to realistically replicate the sights and sounds in live training venues. Additionally, we can rapidly fabricate and custom-build weapons to suit any operational environment.

TAC TI C AL V E H I CLE S A true to life opposing force requires the appropriate vehicles and transportation. Threat Tec possesses a variety of fully-operational vehicles that, like our other equipment, are common on real battleelds. These

geographically-representative vehicles are critical to accurately replicating a specic operational

AT-14 KORNE T AND RPG -29

TH E CHALLE N G E Develop a realistic threat anti-armor capability to operationally test the Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle variants. As the MRAP was being developed, the prevalence of anti-armor systems

on the battleeld was a central concern. The Israeli

experience ghting in Lebanon served as the primary

example for threat conditions. Thus, operational testing

required surrogate threat anti-armor systems that replicated visual and audible signatures and were Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) capable.

TH E PRO CE SS We began by analyzing the Second Lebanese War to identify threat systems to model. The AT-14 KORNET and RPG-29 were both identied as likely threat weapon

systems. Collecting images, measurements, and details from the TRADOC G-2 Worldwide Equipment Guide (WEG) and open-source material. We then created d e t a i l e d

digitized drawings and followed with a rapid prototype, MILES-capable, AT-14 KORNET and RPG-29 simulators.

TH E R E SU LT The Threat Tec AT-14 KORNET and RPG-29

simulators were iteratively developed and employed in support of MRAP and, more recently, Joint Light Tactical

Vehicle operational tests. Achieving MILES kills at realistic engagement ranges, these systems were critical to the realistic operational test environments.
