Collective Training for Future Combat System (FCS)

Challenge

The Army needs team or collective training for its major new network-centric system of Army combat vehicles—the Future Combat System. The FCS program is a Family of Systems (FoS) that will provide the basis for transforming the Army's forces. It will be a networked, multifunctional, multi-mission re-configurable system of systems designed to maximize joint interoperability, strategic transportability, and commonality of mission roles.

Solution

DRC is developing training support packages (TSPs) for collective training of the FCS units, leader teams, and staff groups. We have developed a comprehensive method for conducting collective task analysis and are applying it to several FCS systems.

Benefits/Achievements

Incorporates proven team training and instructional development principles.
Employs mission-based task analysis techniques to ensure that the resultant training is mission-based and doctrinally correct.
Is embedded within the FCS systems.
Uses state-of-the-art, object-oriented approaches.
Is Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) compliant and easy to use.
Directly interfaces with FCS simulation systems.
Extends DRC's team training paradigm to the Army's largest and most critical transformational program.
