A FAR-REACHING CLOUD In the TaaS on-demand training delivery model, simulation and training software and its associ- ated data are hosted centrally, typically in the cloud. Users gain access via a so-called thin client, normally a Web browser over the Internet. (SOURCE: PEO STRI)

ment. TaaS will integrate with mission command systems and include the fully immersive LVC simulation and train- ing environment. Software services will include training equipment asset track- ing and training exercise replay. TaaS will be cloud-based with a deployable software service infrastructure to sup- port the full live training domain.
CONSTRUCTIVE SIMULATION Constructive simulation environments such as OneSAF have long been used to simulate a full spectrum of Army military operations, systems and control pro- cesses for training (e.g., command post exercises), testing (e.g., Army mission command (MC) systems), research and analysis (e.g., prototyping), and experi- mentation activities (e.g.,

force structures) at fixed simulation data centers. While providing an immer- sive operational environment, current constructive simulations are becoming complex and expensive to maintain, as they must interoperate within larger LVC environments. In addition, it takes unique sets of computing resources and a skilled set of technicians and operators to conduct simulation-based training events.
To combat this complexity and expense, PEO STRI’s OneSAF program has spear- headed a multipronged modernization effort to streamline simulation delivery. OneSAF is the U.S. Army’s entity-level constructive simulation environment that models military operations
from
brigade down to the individual platform and combatant level. From its inception, OneSAF has supported several Army, DOD and international simulation com- munities supporting LVC applications.
