WORKING PARTNERSHIP


U.S. Marine Corps Col David Smith (left), Program Manager Training Systems (PM TRASYS), and COL Mike Flanagan, Project Manager TRADE, sign a memorandum of agreement establishing a partnership of technical support between PM TRADE’s LT2 product line and PM TRASYS’ common live training systems.

standard set of interfaces; and a meth- odology for target development and technology insertion.


The FASIT construct is built on the fol- lowing principles:


• Solutions that allow interoperability of any vendors’ devices on the same network at the same time, with no unique configuration settings.


• Requirements definition that includes only capabilities utilized by all use cases, with modular solutions for the remaining requirements.


• Strongly managed interface documents that define communications between


the control system and range devices.


• LT2/CTIA-based components and framework allowing the components to be used in other parts of the prod- uct line and in products that extend training across the virtual and con- structive domains.


The centerpiece of the Target Modern- ization program has been the successful development and deployment of the sin- gle common target control system, called Targetry Range Automated Control and Recording (TRACR). TRACR provides a single control system that is usable on all Army live-fire training ranges with implementation of the FASIT interface


standards. It has the inherent capability to interface with or control the legacy Enhanced Remote Equipment Target Sys- tems targets.


TRACR is the first PM TRADE prod- uct to be 100 percent composed of LT2 components, thus leveraging savings for small-arms ranges. The common use of TRACR also reduces the burden on ranges by eliminating the unique training and maintenance associated with having multiple control systems. To date, more than 110 ranges (80-plus small-arms ranges and 30-plus maneuver ranges) have been upgraded and use the TRACR control system.
