FST Strengths and Weaknesses

• OPFOR is scalable in size and sophistication• Stretches scarce training resources• Provides opportunity to better utilize limited at

sea periods and to rehearse operations• Exercise C2 in kinetic phase of conflict• Flag Officer to console operator fidelity varies

with warfare area• Connectivity subject to at sea issues• Complements live training; not a substitute for

going to sea

FST Strengths and Weaknesses

““This visionary new training methodology is now This visionary new training methodology is now integral to the way we prepare our nations integral to the way we prepare our nations deploying strike groups. It creates a virtual deploying strike groups. It creates a virtual environment in which the Navy stresses critical environment in which the Navy stresses critical Command and Control warfare skills and fine tunes Command and Control warfare skills and fine tunes its basic warfighting competencies without going to its basic warfighting competencies without going to sea.sea.””

A Perspective on the Future of FST; The Price of Admission

• Must be compliant with all governing standards– DIS, HLA, etc.

– Be cognizant of data flow rates within the network

• Develop systems with a global view– Not just “trainer-in-a-box” ; never stand alone– Interoperability across architecture is critical– “Plug and Play” is a misnomer under best of circumstances

• Balance fidelity with cost and delivery– Aviation full motion trainer not required for C2 training events– MRT3 as example of what is sufficient for C2 event

A Perspective on the Future of FST;The Price of Admission

• Focused warfare events vice larger force-wide events– BMDEX as signpost for ASW, ASUW, AAW, etc– Work towards Flag to Petty Officer kill chain

• Opportunities for middle-ware solutions– No rearchitecture where elegant middle-ware can resolve

• Tension between resources to support Shore-Based Trainers and resources for Distributed Training– Room for both, however, track record of underestimated support

tail for shore-based trainers

Fleet Synthetic Training, as a complement to at-seaevents, is the key to ensuring readiness in anenvironment of fiscal austerity
