ynamically responding and
adapting to an evolving
threat environment is criti-
cal to soldiers retaining a
competitive edge across all
domains. Achieving this high level of read-
iness requires innovative, affordable train-
ing solutions that can be both adapted at
the point of need and offer rapid perfor-
mance assessment to accelerate decision
making and deliver a resilient sustainment
program.
Training Solutions at Point of
Need
To prepare for Joint All Domain Opera-
tions (JADO) soldiers use virtual reality
technologies for an efficient mix of syn-
thetic and live training. Reconfigurable
virtual trainers, provide individual to col-
lective skills training both at home base
and while deployed. Lightweight, deploy-
able hardware packages in a smaller simula-
tor footprint, adaptable to various vehicle
types, deliver training at the point of need,
allowing personnel to continue training
while on missions.
Trainers At Home
Lockheed Martin Canada's operator train-
ers stem from a common baseline, SEA-
SMRT, configured to run either on land
or on ship. An on-board training solu-
tion, called SETT (Shipboard Embedded
Team Trainer) is used by six classes of ships
across three different navies. This solution
utilizes either a synthetically generated
scenario, or live tracks displayed against a
synthetic virtual world. Multiple ships can
