1.0 System Description

The AN/AVR-2 Laser Detecting Set (LDS) Family of Systems is a passive laser
detection system. The LDS receives, processes, and displays threat
information resulting from aircraft illumination for laser designators,
range finders, and beam riding missiles for aircrew situational awareness.
The LDS interfaces with the AN/APR-39 Radar Detecting Set (RDS) or platform
specific interface to provide audio and visual indications. The LDS
consists of sensor units mounted externally on the host platform and an
interface unit comparator which examines the laser threat for angle of
arrival (AoA), type, and priority for cueing.

3.0 Assumptions

The following list of assumptions underlies the training concept and

training strategy. These assumptions were derived from preliminary
analysis related to the Materiel Requirements Documents (MRDs) and
comparative analyses of similar systems:

a. The Operator and Maintainer Training Support Package (TSP) for system
hardware and software will be developed subsequently to allow for testing
each iteration or build of the system.

b. Personnel operating, reprogramming, or maintaining the system will have

the proper security clearance, but the AN/AVR-2 will not cause an increase
in security requirements.

c. Any software changes directed toward operation or maintenance will be

user friendly and follow an open system approach.

d. All Technical Manuals (TMs) and Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals

(IETMs) which conform to applicable military and/or commercial
specifications, will be validated, verified and delivered to the user.

e. The Materiel Developer (MD) will develop and execute LDS New Equipment
Training Plan (NETP). The NETP will include NET Training Support Packages
(TSPs) that support a train-the-trainer and instructor and key personnel
training strategy.

f. All NET and Training Test Support (TTS) TSPs will be developed
concurrently with the hardware/software. All NET and TTS TSPs will be
validated during Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOTE), and in
place when system fielding begins.

g. AN/AVR-2 training will encompass all hardware and software specific to

the operation, employment, and maintenance of AN/AVR-2.

h. The NET TSP will consist of Lesson Plans (LPs), TMs, IETMs, Graphic
Training Aids (GTAs) and Computer Based Instruction Training (CBIT).
Training must be developed in accordance with TRADOC Regulation 350-70,
TRADOC Pamphlet 525-8-2 WC1 06 June 2011, and appropriate software
specifications and must be validated and approved by the government prior
to site delivery.

i. Sustainment/self-development training will be developed based on the NET

TSP.
j. The system must have the capability of being trained at the unit, in
both garrison and field environments.

k. The Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation

(ADDIE) process, documented in the Training Development Capability (TDC),
will determine the final training strategy and the appropriate mix of
required training materials and the tasks to be training.

l. USAACE, Directorate of Training Doctrine (DOTD) is responsible for

integrating training strategies into this STRAP.

m. The Materiel Developer will conduct a Post Fielding Effectiveness

Analysis (PFEA) 18 months after initial fielding of the total AN/AVR-2
systems. The materiel developer will also provide changes and new training
materiel, hardware, software, and TADSS that are identified as needed to
resolve the issues documented in the PTEA and other studies and evaluation.

q. There will not be enough fielded units of AN/AVR-2 to support a 100%

fielding to all aircraft in the fleet and DA will institute an ARFORGEN
operation cycle to equip and maintain a deployment ready level of these
devices.

r. Upon completion of the NET timelines which are funded by the MD, the
Displaced Equipment Training (DET) funding will be required for personnel
in units who receive this equipment installation upon activation in the
ARFORGEN cycle.

s. Threat emitters will be available at home station to enable realistic

sustainment training.

t. Units must have access to computers with web browser capability and that
are stand alone.

u. All aircraft participating in Training Rotations (TRs) at the Maneuver

Combat Training Centers (CTCs) such as JMRC, JRTC, & NTC will be equipped
with AN/AVR-2 before deploying to the designated CTC.

a. Manpower/Force Structure- The system shall not require an increase in
crew size, maintenance manpower, nor support personnel requirements.

b. Training Equipment- Additional training assessment may be required to

determine the need for new training devices, simulators, simulations,
training material, and modifications to current simulators and simulations
which may be required to support AN/AVR-2 training. The proponent for
training development, USAACE, DOTD, will select and prioritize device
requirements, development, and fielding of training systems for AN/AVR-2.

c. Human Factors- Risk assessment to identify potential human factors

relating to AN/AVR-2 operation will be required and may lead to additional
training requirements. Conduct risk analysis to determine system safety
requirements (i.e., preventive maintenance to reduce risk of component
failure). Use Army Safety Management Information System (ASIMIS-1) to
assist in identifying potential component failures. Recommendation:
Aviation Branch Safety Officer will conduct risk assessment of overall
training Programs of Instruction (POIs) and assign risk assessment codes in
accordance with TRADOC Reg 350-70.

d. Soldier Survivability- Incorrect operation or maintenance of AN/AVR-2

could significantly impact Soldier survivability. Training shall ensure
that users are knowledgeable of potential hazards and control measures for
AN/AVR-2 equipment they may have occasion to use.

e. Personnel resources for AN/AVR-2 training must come from the Active Army
and Reserve Component resources. The training equipment, components, and
devices must be provided in sufficient quantities and within the
appropriate time frames to support operational testing and fielding.
NOTE: The operation and maintenance of training devices and associated
software must not require aptitude, education, or training that exceeds the
target audience capabilities.
5.0 System Training Concept

The training concept adds AN/AVR-2 to existing aviation units. The

training system will support NET/DET, Institutional, Operational, and
Self-Development Training and augment existing training for Aircraft
Survivability Equipment (ASE). Training will be developed using the ADDIE
process and distributed learning (DL) media should be used when analysis
supports the application of DL methodology. The Materiel Developer will
require the contractor to develop, update, and provide a complete training
system (e.g., individual and collective task analysis, institutional
training devices, embedded training systems, simulator upgrades,
simulations, Instructor and Key Personnel Training (I&KPT), NET, IMI, CTC
interoperability,etc.) After the I&KPT completion, the NET TSP will be the
foundation for Operator, Maintainer, and Support (OMS) personnel training
and integrated into existing institutional courses. Institutional and
operational training programs should capitalize on TADSS technology and
other devices and support efficient and effective training. Simulators are
utilized in both the instructional and operational training domains and
will be required to sustain skills taught through NET/DET and institutional
training. As a result, all existing and future simulators must be updated
to include AN/AVR-2 capabilities. Additionally, operator/maintainer
training will require the utilization of computer-based Aircraft
Survivability Equipment Training (CBAT) to sustain knowledge of ASE
capabilities, vulnerabilities, limitations, and individual tasks. Due to
limited fielding of the AN/AVR-2 and the unavailability of actual equipment
for initial or sustainment training of maintenance tasks, maintainer
training will require that TADSS are available to execute training when
actual AN/AVR-2 is not. Collective training for the AN/AVR-2 will involve
the use of the Live, Virtual, Constructive, Gaming-Integrated Training
Environment (LVCG-ITE) with specific emphasis place on constructive and
virtual technologies. The AN/AVR-2 will require a live force-on-force
training capability and threat emitters will be available at home station
to enable realistic sustainment training. Self-development training will
rely heavily on the exploitation of reach back to the institution/MD and
the use of distributed learning programs such as CBAT for sustainment of
skills.
5.1 New Equipment Training Concept (NET)

NET accomplishes the initial transfer of knowledge on operation,

maintenance, and doctrine and tactics training (DTT) associated with
fielding of the system from the materiel developer to the tester, the
trainer, the supporter, and then the user. The following describes the NET
strategy for the AN-AVR-2 LDS:

Fielding to Army Commands (ACOMs) will use the train-the-trainer concept.

The Materiel Developer will provide the training to designated unit
trainers (operator and maintainer) on the employment and sustainment of the
system. After initial fielding and NET, unit personnel will be required to
operate/maintain the system using the training provided within the Computer
Based Aircraft Survivability Equipment Training (CBAT) modules (CBAT-C,
CBAT-O, and CBAT-M) and exportable training material provided by the PEO
AVN website (Consolidated Aviation Portal Storage [CAPS]) under the
supervision of the unit's designated system training manager/SME. Once the
unit has been fielded and received NET, the materiel developer will remain
on call and continue to support the system until fielding is completed.
Fielding and training to Reserve and National Guard units will be in the
same manner and conducted simultaneously as the active Army, at selected
locations determined to be the most cost effective and feasible.

Fielding to the training institutions 110th Aviation Brigade and 128th

Aviation Brigade will include Instructor and Key Personnel Training (IKPT)
required for personnel to conduct training of the system to students.
Additional training will include any training deemed necessary to ensure
the institutional base has the capability to train all tasks identified
within the MOS critical task list and possess a full understanding of the
AN/AVR-2 LDS as a complete system. The NET Support Package will include
Technical Manuals, Student Guides/Handouts, Lesson Plan(s), Training Media
(presentation media), Lessons Learned, Hardware/Software Revision briefs,
TADSS revision/impact, and Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI)
modules. The NET Support Package will be developed to support
web-portability on NIPR. The MD will provide revisions/modifications of the
NET Support Package to the support institutions and FORSCOM units via
web-based communication, distance learning, or NETT.
5.2 Displaced Equipment Training (DET)

Displaced Equipment Training (DET) will be initiated/executed by the MD,

upon the establishment and execution of AN/AVR-2 training at the designated
institutions and in support of the Army Forces Generation (ARFORGEN)/Global
Readiness Force (GRF) guidance from DA 3/5/7. DET, IAW AR 350-1, will be
designed to build upon already established operator and maintainer
equipment knowledge provided during sustainment training, generating force
schools/institutions, and to support current unit sustainment training at
the local level. DET will leverage technology based mediums to deliver
instruction IAW Army Learning Model TP 525-8-2 wC1 06 June 2011.
5.3 Doctrine and Tactics Training (DTT)

The AN/AVR-2 DTTs require the use of the Live, Virtual, Constructive, and
Gaming-Integrated Training Environment (LVCG-ITE) to meet the requirements
for the individual aircraft programs of instruction (POIs), Unit Combined
Army Training Strategies (CATS), and Readiness Level (RL) Progression.

The current individual training POIs will be augmented by the AN/AVR-2

lessons. Institutional professional development classes and simulated
mission scenarios will include the AN/AVR-2 capabilities in both virtual
and constructive environments. AN/AVR-2 will require training for proper
use of maneuvers during flights. Connectivity with simulated forces, real
systems, and virtual systems will provide realistic operational training
and mission rehearsal using all levels of simulation. Mission Essential
Task List (METL) items can be practiced and evaluated at the units as well
as Combat Training Centers (CTCs). The array of simulated threat emitters,
combined with electronic ranges and live fire, will produce the needed
environment to meet the CATS requirements. The AN/AVR-2 either replaces or
augments existing systems and there will be no change in current Aviation
doctrine. However, depending on the threat, terrain, time of day,
meterological conditions, aircraft, etc., tactics, techniques, and
procedures (TTP) may change and must be trained and practiced in the
LVCG-ITE.
5.4 Training Test Support Package (TTSP)

The MD and DOTD will coordinate and integrate original equipment

manufacturer (OEM) developed materials into the Training Test Support
Package (TTSP) which will meet or exceed the requirements outlined in
TRADOC Regulation 350-70 and DA Pamphlet 73-1, para 6-61, using the methods
described in the Army Learning Model TP 525-8-2 wC1 06 June 2011, prior to
each phase of User Testing (UT). The matured TTSP becomes the production
TSP which will be the foundation for Institutional, Operational, and
Self-Development training. The TTSP will contain the following materials
(items with an asterisk are required to be included in the Production
Training Support Package):

a. Approved System Training Plan (STRAP)

b. Test Training Certification Plan

c. Training Schedule

d. Trainer Data Requirements

e. Soldier Training Publications or Changes

*l. Student Guides

*m. Test

*n. Flight Training Guides

*o. Training Aids, Devices/Simulators, Embedded Training Components

*p. Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI)

NOTE: An asterisk (*) indicates the mandatory components of a TSP.

6.0 Institutional Training Domain

Institutional AN/AVR-2 training courses for operators and maintainers will

be taught at USAACE 110th/1st Aviation Brigade, Fort Rucker, AL and 128th
Aviation Brigade, Fort Eustis, VA, in accordance with the Army Campaign
Plan. Training will be developed per the guidance in Army Regulation (AR)
350-1 Training and Leader Development, TRADOC Regulation 350-70 and the
Army Learning Model TP 525-8-2 w/C1 06 June 2011 and designed to be safe,
mission focused, derived from the variety of missions expected to be
performed, and based on aviation doctrine. Institutional training and
instruction will be performance oriented, emphasizing hands-on practical
exercises, and will prepare aviation Soldiers and units to achieve and
sustain proficiency of individual and collective tasks. Standards are
determined from the Mission Essential Task List (METL), the Digital
Training Management System (DTMS), Combined Arms Training Strategies
(CATS), Drills, Aircrew Training Manuals (ATMs), and Soldier Training
Publications (STPs). Training will be designed to support a crawl, walk,
run approach within a logical sequential program of instruction to ensure
critical skills and tasks are taight and trained to established standards
and instill system confidence within the Soldier. The new CATS will
include short and long-range strategies for institutional, operational, and
self-development training. It is incumbent on the institutions to utilize
all available training options/devices (i.e., live, virtual, construtive,
gaming) to facilitate an integrated training strategy. Institutional and
unit training programs shall capitalize on TADSS technology and other
devices that support efficient and effective training.
6.1 Institutional Training Concept and Strategy

The AN/AVR-2 training system will use a hierarchical building block

approach to provide task introduction, reinforcement, and evaluation.
Training will include provisions for peacetime and mobilization and will
minimize facility requirements. The final approved instructional programs
will be based on knowledge gained from events such as Task Analysis (TA),
Program Analysis and Evaluation (PAE), Leader Development (LD), Initial
Operational Test (IOT), Training Effectiveness Analysis (TEA), and Cost and
Training Effectiveness Analysis (CTEA) input. Appropriate Institutional
and Unit/Sustainment courses of instruction, new Soldier's Manuals (SMs),
and Flight and/or Training Guides (FTG/TGs) for applicable MOS/ASI/SQIs and
AOCs will be developed as technical data becomes available to the
applicable TRADOC schools. Applicable ARTEPs will be revised as
appropriate.

The NET TSP will be updated as necessary by the MD upon completion of the
IKPT. The updated NET TSP will be the foundation for institutional
Operator, Maintainer, and Support (OMS) personnel training. The NET TSP

materials that can be operated on a secure network and/or stand-alone
computer system. DL packages will be in the form of electronic portable
media and will include any procedural or doctrinal changes and any upgrades
or other changes to the training for both NIPR and SIPR dissemination.
Additional information provided on the SIPR side will include capabilities,
vulnerabilities, and limitations of the system for operator knowledge. The
Materiel Developer will create and field the DL packages that involve
system-specific upgrades and changes. If DL is not yet embedded on the
operational equipment, the units must have access to computers with web
browser capability. This will provide a venue for all current and future
training packages generated by the Materiel Developer.

Institutional AN/AVR-2 training will emphasize the use of a blended

technology approach (simulators, simulations, maintenance devices, etc.)
and as such, all hardware, software, and communications systems will be
dictated IAW training device design and/or local standard operating
procedures.

6.1.1.2.1 Courseware

The Materiel Developer will provide an AN/AVR-2 multi-media training

support package (TSP) that can be used to support institutional training
at 110th/1st/128th Aviation Brigade, operational and unit sustainment
training, and self-development training. The MD will also be responsible
for upgrading the TSP to reflect engineering changes to AN/AVR-2. The
TRADOC developed TTSP package will detail the concept of operations,
effects on mission planning, capabilities and limitations of the equipment,
and broadcast declarations received by the system.
6.1.1.2.2 Courses
AN/AVR-2 augments existing ASE systems on the aircraft and the subject
matter will be placed into existing ASE training lessons. DOTD, Fort
Rucker and S-3, 128th Aviation Brigade, as appropriate, will evaluate and
validate all OEM and Materiel Developer training courses. Upon completion
of the verification and validation procedure, DOTD, Fort Rucker will submit
a training approval memorandum to the Director of DOTD for approval of the
OEM and/or MD training courses.

Flight School XXI-Operator training will be designed and developed for all
aviators, maintenance test pilots, and instructor pilots. The
institutional/individual training currently consists of introduction to the
ASE including the following: theory/principles of operation, switchology,
cueing, and power-up and power-down procedures. ASE and AN/AVR-2 are also
presented during simulated constructive and virtual exercises.

Advanced Operator Training- When the operator begins training in his/her

advanced aircraft, ASE/AN/AVR-2 training will be presented in the classroom
and in simulated flight training. The capabilities, vulnerabilities, and
limitations of AN/AVR-2 will be presented during simulated constructive and
virtual exercises.

Maintainer Training-MOS specific ASE training for the 15F, 15K, 15N, 15R,
15T,15U, and 15Y and will remain the same with the inclusion of AN/AVR-2
tasks such as maintenance operational checks, troubleshooting, repair and
replacement, built-in-tests, interfaces and cueing (audio/visual), peculiar
ground support equipment (PGSE), and test, measure, and diagnostic
equipment (TMDE). Maintenance instruction will provide the student with a
working knowledge of the major assemblies, sub-assemblies, Line Replaceable
Units (LRUs), and Line Replaceable Modules (LRMs). The maintenance
training courses shall be prepared at the functional level and may include
classroom presentation using IMI and numerous hands-on-equipment practical
exercises.

Advanced Maintainer Training- Advanced MOS skill level ASE training for the
15F, 15K, 15N, 15R, 15T,15U, and 15Y will remain the same with the

lessons learned, logistical support, and troubleshooting. The maintenance
training courses shall be prepared at the functional level and may include
classroom presentation using IMI and numerous hands-on-equipment practical
exercises.

Professional Development Courses-Officer and Warrant Officer professional

development is the responsibility of the 110th Aviation Brigade. During
these courses, in both constructive and virtual simulation exercises, the
capabilities and limitations of the AN/AVR-2 can be addressed during
mission planning. The TACOPS professional development course will
accurately present AN/AVR-2 functions and the employment of AN/AVR-2 for
mission planning and exercises. The reconfigurable Aviation Combined Arms
Tactical Trainer (AVCATT) with its tactical and logistic operations center
modules will be used to provide repetitive, cost efficient, and realistic
task loaded combined arms exercises.

Unit Force-on-Force Exercises-Units can practice the limitations and

capabilities and tactical employment of the AN/AVR-2 in live and virtual
training environments. During live training, actual countermeasures can be
deployed on electronic ranges to train the full capabilities of the
AN/AVR-2. Advanced threat emitters will provide the stimulus to the
ASE/AN-AVR-2 systems and appropriate countermeasures will be employed.
Training and actual countermeasures and decoys will be used for collective
training in the live environment.
6.1.1.2.3 Training Publications
The Materiel Developer will develop training products in coordination with
DOTD, Fort Rucker. All TMs, user manuals, and Soldier Training
Publications (STPs) shall be created prior to NET and institutional
training is to be available for download from an AKO or other appropriate
site. The AN/AVR-2 TSP will provide a structured training program that
supports Soldier/leader and staff training. All task development will be
completed using the Training Development Capability (TDC) database. This
will facilitate the production of training support products for delivery
with TSS and the ability to rapidly update tasks and their instructional
products using digital information.

TMs for Operators and Maintainers will be produced to military standard

(MIL STD) and undergo a contractor validation and Government verification
process to ensure accuracy and completeness. Operator, field, and
sustainment levels of maintenance will be called out in the Maintenance and
Allocation Charts (MAC) as applicable in the Field and Sustainment
Maintenance TMs. All calibration requirements, procedures, and schedules
will be identified in operator and maintainer TMs.
6.1.1.2.4 Training Support Package (TSP)

a. Training Support Package- The current ASE TSP will be augmented by the
AN/AVR-2 tasks.

b. Collective/Warfighter TSP- The AN/AVR-2 will augment existing collective

TSPs. A complete set of training products and materials will be provided
to the unit during NET. This material will be added to the unit's existing
ASE training program. The maximum use of LVCG-ITE will be used to train
and sustain ASE and AN/AVR-2 critical collective tasks.

c. Common or Shared Task TSP- The AN/AVR-2 will be included in the existing
TSP for ASE for both operators and maintainers.

d. TADSS TSP- The AN/AVR-2 will be added to existing ASE systems of

operators and maintainers. Current constructive, virtual, and live
simulations will be updated to include AN/AVR-2. Threat emitters will be
developed that will stimulate the AN/AVR-2 and training countermeasures
will be used.

e. TSP for collective tasks trained at the unit- For the USAACE the
AN/AVR-2 collective tasks will fall under the ATM task "Operate ASE." For
the 128th Aviation Brigade, revised TSPs will be required for the AN/AVR-2
developed at the ELO level. The maintainer collective tasks will include
AN/AVR-2 in the ASE systems maintenance tasks.

f. TSP for individual tasks trained at the unit- The ASE critical tasks
will include the AN/AVR-2 for both maintainer and operator.

g. Institutional TSP- the AN/AVR-2 training materials, TADSS, etc., will be

included in existing MOS training courses.

h. Operational TSP- This TSP will be developed for the IOT&E.

i. Self-development TSP- Current Self-Development TSPs for the affected

AN/AVR-2 MOSs will be updated/revised as needed.

j. Training Test Support Package- The contractor developed AN/AVR-2 TTSP

will be provided to the tester for use in evaluating training for the
AN/AVR-2. The TTSP will include the POI, Soldiers Manuals, Trainers
Guides, CATS changes, and Training Devices. The TTSP will also include
embedded training components, training/actual countermeasures/decoys,
threat emitters, technical documentation, and training extension materials.
6.1.1.3 TADSS

TADSS will be required for training both operators and maintainers on the
use and maintenance of AN-AVR-2. Further explanation of required TADSS are
outlined in paragraphs 6.1.1.3.1.-6.1.1.3.5.
6.1.1.3.1 Training Aids

a. Operator Training Aids- Institutional training aids will include

diagrams (both printed and computer modeled) as required to teach basic
AN/AVR-2 operation.

b. Maintainer Training Aids- Institutional training aids will include

diagrams (both printed and computer modeled) as required to teach basic
AN/AVR-2 maintenance.
6.1.1.3.2 Training Devices

Training conducted with ASE training devices can be effectively used to

train tasks associated with mission planning, decision making, and the
tactical execution of unit missions. This allows the unit leaders to
practice and rehearse different missions before deployment. During the
AAR, the leader can identify weaknesses and retrain to correct weaknesses
in a low cost environment to achieve the desired level of proficiency. The
combination of ASE training devices and other live, virtual training will
produce a synergistic effect on a unit's tactical proficiency. It will
also permit post training and mission rehearsal of tactical operations that
cannot be trained in the field because they are either too hazardous,
expensive, or lack appropriate training facilities.

a. Operator Devices- Institutional training aids will include mock-ups,

static displays, actual equipment, and desktop trainers as required to
teach basic AN/AVR-2 operation. Desktop trainers will allow students to
practice cockpit procedures that are steps in TRADOC selected critical
tasks and must accurately replicate aircraft functionality to preclude
negative habit transfer.

b. Maintainer Devices- Institutional training aids will include mock-ups,

static displays, actual or simulated equipment, and desktop trainers as
required to teach basic AN/AVR-2 operation. Desktop trainers will allows
students to practice cockpit procedures that are steps in TRADOC select
critical tasks and must accurately replicate functionality to preclude
negative habit transfer. Maintenance training devices must simulate the
physical and functional fidelity necessary to train TRADOC selected
critical tasks to applicable TRADOC standards. The primary platform
avionics training devices for each airframe will be upgraded to support
AN/AVR-2.
6.1.1.3.3 Simulators

Aviators require simulations that allow them to train as they will operate
within a modular force construct, maintain proficiencies, and execute high
fidelity aviation mission rehearsals. The key training enabler for this
vision is the Integrated Training Environment (ITE) where synthetic
virtual, constructive, and gaming simulations and stimulations links with
live instrumentation to provide mission command centric rehearsal
capabilities at homestation, Combat Training Centers (CTCs), and operations
overseas in permissive environments. Pilots need simulators to maintain
proficiency in high risk tasks which would certainly include operating
their ASE. PM-ASE will coordinate with the PMs for each simulator to
initiate upgrades for the inclusion of AN/AVR-2. Examples of Operator
Simulators that require modification to include AN/AVR-2 capabilities
include, but are not limited to the following:

AH-64D (Blk I/II) Longbow Crew Trainer (LCT)

AH-64E (BLK II/III) Longbow Crew Trainer (LCT)
Longbow Collective Training System
CH-47F Transportable Flight Proficiency Simulator (TFPS)
CH-47D Synthetic Flight Training Simulator (SFTS)
UH-60A/L Synthetic Flight Simulator (SFTS)
UH-60M Transportable Blackhawk Operational Simulator (T-BOS)
Flight School XXI Simulators
Aviation Combined Arms Tactical Trainer (AVCATT)
CH-47F Cockpit Procedure Trainer
OH-58D Cockpit Procedure Trainer
UH-60A/L Cockpit Procedure Trainer
UH-60M Cockpit Procedure Trainer

Collective simulators must include an interactive and high SAF which models
both the ASE and the effect of ASE on enemy systems. Simulators must be
geo-specific terrain databases that achieve a "fair-fight" interoperability
level of fidelity. Achieving fair-fight interoperability will require
correlation of terrain, weather, visualization objects databases, and
Modeling and Simulation (M&S) fidelity. M&S fidelity is defined as "two or
more simulations may be considered to be in a fair fight when differences
in the simulation's performance characteristics have significantly less
effect on the outcome of the conflict than actions taken by the simulation
participants." The AVCATT and the Reconfigurable Collective Training
Device (FSXXI) are the collective training simulators used to train at
USAACE.

Maintenance trainers will require modification for training restoring

AN/AVR-2 by aircraft. All maintenance trainers will allow the instructors
to insert faults (opens, shorts, etc.) which allow the students to
troubleshoot onboard aircraft systems. Maintenance trainers requiring
modification to update them to a configuration with AN/AVR-2 include but
are not limited to the following:

L6: AH-64D Airframe & Engine Drive Train System Trainer

L7: AH-64D Multiplex, Avionics, Visionics, Weapons, & Electronic
Systems Trainer
CH-47F: Chinook Avionics Trainer (CAT)
CH-47F: Chinook Helicopter Maintenance Trainer (CHMT)
UH-60: Blackhawk Avionics Trainer-M Model (BHAT-M)
AN/AVR-2(V) Laser-Detecting Set Trainer
6.1.1.3.4 Simulations

AN/AVR-2 source data covering the full operational capability and the
logistic requirements must be provided to the National Simulation Center
(NSC) for inclusion in all higher level constructive simulations.
Modifications to One Semi-Automated Forces (One SAF) will be necessary to
reflect the operational capability of AN/AVR-2.
6.1.1.3.5 Instrumentation

The live devices for AN/AVR-2 training will be required to interface with
Army Tactical Engagement Simulation System (Army TESS) Training to monitor
and record the position, location, heading, and weapon events. A Smart
On-board Data Interface Module (SMODIM) provides each aircraft with a
"kill" and "be killed" capability. The SMODIM processes and transmits data
for monitoring and pairing of simulated aircraft weapon events.

If the aircraft is engaged, the SMODIM uses data bus signals from tactical
sensors to decode and process the Real-Time Causality Assessment (RTCA) and
transmit data back to the Mobile Command Center (MCC) ground station.
Global Position System (GPS) and telemetry antennas are part of the Army
TESS aircraft components. Once engaged, the SMODIM processes the ph/pk for
an RTCA outcome and the TTM provides visual cues. The data is then
transmitted by the SMODIM to the MCC on the ground through telemetry
antenna.

Live AN/AVR-2 training solutions will require a Multiple Integrated

Laser Engagement System (MILES) implementation. Any instrumentation
systems must interoperate with the Army Battlefield Command (ABCS) and
provide data in a format recognized by the LVCG-ITE. Compatibility with
the Digital Range Training System (DRTS) and the Training Instrumentation
System (TIS) will be required to support Force on Force (FoF) and Force on
Target (FoT) venues at home station.

NOTE: SMODIM capabilities vary by aircraft. The OH-58D does not have a
fully integrated SMODIM so weapons events are not currently transmitted.
OH-58F, CH-47F, and UH-60M will have data buses and be able to provide more
SMODIM output for use by hosting architectures (i.e., TIS, DRTS, CTCs).
Additionally, SMODIMs are currently only available for UH-60 and CH-47
platforms at the CTCs. Efforts are ongoing to establish a home station
training capability and plan; however, there is no home station capability
at present.
6.1.1.4 Training Facilities and Land

Institutional training for the AN/AVR-2 will not require additional

classroom space. Facility requirements for housing and maintaining
AN/AVR-2 are the owning unit's responsibility and no new facilities are
anticipated for the maintenance of the AN/AVR-2.
6.1.1.4.1 Ranges

Live fire ranges must include threat emitters or a threat emitter emulation
capability that replicates current and emerging laser threats to
aviation to enable training task integration in crew qualification and
collective gunnery events. Range requirements will be in accordance with
the Training Aid being used to execute the training and any additional
requirements based on use of the countermeasures dispensed.
6.1.1.4.2 Maneuver Training Areas (MTA)
Not Applicable
6.1.1.4.3 Classrooms

All AN/AVR-2 DL products will be developed to be compatible with the Army

Distributed Learning Program (TADLP), Classroom XXI classrooms, Digital
Training Facilities (DTFs), and Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA)
infrastructure specifications. SIPR connectivity will be required to
disseminate and display Classified information regarding AN/AVR-2
capabilities, vulnerabilities, and limitations. Proper procedures for
safeguarding this classified information must be in place.

6.1.2 Architectures and Standards Component

Architectures and standards will provide the means to ensure integration

and interoperability across product lines in support of AN/AVR-2.
Architectures are the structure of AN/AVR-2 training components, their
relationship, and the principles and guidelines governing their design and
evolution over time. They will be the framework that describes missions,
organizations, and system; specifies interfaces and interrelationships
amongst its various parts; and facilitates coordination and synchronization
with internal and external interfaces. The AN/AVR-2 training system will
be integrated into three types of architecture-organization, functional,
and systems-each of which may have operational, technical, and systems
views.
6.1.2.1 Operational View (OV)
Not Applicable
6.1.2.2 Systems View (SV)
Not Applicable
6.1.2.3 Technical View (TV)
Not Applicable
6.1.3 Management, Evaluation, and Resource (MER) Processes Component
6.1.3.1 Management

Where possible, training capabilities developed to support AN/AVR-2 will

use existing facilities and support infrastructure. Training analyses in
support of the AN/AVR-2 will focus on the most efficient use of existing
resources and precisely identify and quantify any expected shortfalls.
Training development will focus on producing products that are capable of
being used both in the institution and in the operational training domain
and focused only on mission critical tasks. Training will incorporate the
maximum use of simulators/simulation when available to mitigate cost and
risk. While developed predominantly for use in the self-development
domain, computer-based ASE training will be designed in such a way that it
can also be used to support training in the institutional and operational
domains.

To determine how to best improve the quality and efficiency of instruction

and training, students and instructors will be routinely asked to evaluate
training events and products. This allows USAACE to provide the best
quality of training with the least expenditure of resources.
6.1.3.1.1 Strategic Planning

The development and fielding of the AN/AVR-2 supports Army Transformation

and Training Transformation and is consistent with the guidance found in:

TADSS Distribution plans
6.1.3.1.7 Joint Training Support
6.1.3.2 Evaluation

As part of the evaluation phase of the ADDIE process, Post Fielding

Training and Effectiveness Analysis (PFTEA) will be conducted. The purpose
of this PFTEA will be to determine how effectively and efficiently AN/AVR-2
training is meeting user training requirements. The findings will be used
to provide lessons learned information on the training development effort
associated with training systems and/or product improvement.

A PFTEA will be conducted within 18-24 months of fielding the weapon

system. Funding requirements will be identified by USAACE and HQ TRADOC to
support the PFTEA process.

Institutional, operational, and self-development training (including

training devices) will be analyzed in terms of cost and training
effectiveness, user perceptions, user proficiency, and positive/negative
aspects.

Other assessments tools will be used and include the following: training
evaluation and analyses and monthly status reports.
6.1.3.2.1 Quality Assurance (QA)

QA plans will be used in accordance with each installation's QA plan to

ensure proper course auditing is complete. After Action Reviews (AARs)
will be used to provide feedback on each course's content and instruction.
Feedback will assist USAACE and 128th Aviation Brigade, Fort Eustis, VA, in
understanding and correcting training deficiencies and will provide
information that may affect the next set of equipment and/or students. QA
evaluations of institutional courses are typically conducted every 2-3
years.
6.1.3.2.2 Assessments

The Materiel Developer, in conjunction with the proponent, will conduct

training assessments, as required, to ensure consistent and valid training
materiels and approach are achieved in the training of AN/AVR-2. The
assessments are not limited to traditional classroom settings facilitated
through NET, DET or institutional training, but also distributed learning
(DL). Assessments will be conducted every five (5) years.
6.1.3.2.3 Customer Feedback

The following tools will be used:

Electronic media for surveys, help desks, collaboration, interviews, and

questionnaires as applicable. Surveys are administered following each NET
or DET training event to collect feedback from the field regarding
effectiveness and efficiency of the training. Course critiques are
collected at the end of each institutional training course. The results
gleaned from these sources will provide lessons learned information in the
training development effort associated with training systems and/or product
improvement.
6.1.3.2.4 Lessons Learned/After-Action Reviews (AARs)

Training developer will use AARs described above to provide course

material, as well as functional use evaluations. Training developers will
use Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) documentation to analyze lessons
learned from the field and will incorporate those lessons into AN/AVR-2
training as needed.

7.0 Operational Training Domain

The objective of ASE & AN/AVR-2 operational training is unit and

individual/crew combat readiness-the development of lethal teams, Soldiers,
and leaders. Commanders continue to employ the principles of Army training
to train mission-essential tasks at the larger and smaller unit-level.
Unit training will be experiential, hands-on, and standards based. The
intent will be to provide leaders, units, and Soldiers with a realistic,
operationally relevant training environment that replicates conditions
requiring decisive action. Commanders will continue to employ the
principles of Army training to train mission-essential tasks. Training of
unit leaders will be accomplished by teaching and sustaining proficiency in
individual and collective leader tasks. Live exercises at home station,
local training areas, maneuver CTCs, and deployed training sites will be
required to validate proficiency. The commander determines key collective
tasks that support the unit's Mission Essential Task List (METL) and are
essential to mission accomplishment. Training conditions and standards are
based on the appropriate Unit Training Plan (UTP).

Meeting these requirements will require an integrated enhanced Training and

Leader Development Model, enabled by the TSS that will link the Soldier and
leader to the centers and schools and the CTCs through a Global Joint
Training Infrastructure (GJTS) and the Integrated Training Environment
(ITE). Units will conduct pre-deployment training at home stations and
CTCs. They will also conduct rehearsal en route to the Area of Operations
(AOs), while executing the mission in the AO, and during transition.
During each phase of training, Soldiers will receive support from schools
and centers.
7.1 Operational Training Concept and Strategy

Sustainment training for operators has been a difficult problem when

training ASE. The skills and knowledge required to effectively employ ASE
require constant reinforcement. Therefore, operational skills need to be
reinforced in simulators, which must be kept up to date with the proper ASE
systems and software updates to replicate the functions of the ASE against
a threat in the unclassified arena. Section 6.1.1.3.2 covers this in more
detail because most of the simulators used in the institution are the same
as the simulators used for sustainment training. Sustainment training will
be the responsibility of the unit commander. Training will be conducted by
the leaders (individual through company). TSPs delivered with the AN/AVR-2
include proponent designed scenarios which supports CATS, and can be
augmented with locally designed training scenarios to support training.

In addition, operator sustainment training will use CBAT or another IMI

program to sustain operator knowledge of ASE capabilities, vulnerabilities,
limitations, and individual tasks. This IMI must be maintained for the
entire lifecycle of the AN/AVR-2 program while the equipment is fielded to
the force.

Sustainment training for Soldiers assigned to maintain AN/AVR-2 may require

a different training strategy. Maintenance training of most Army Aviation
systems depends on maintenance personnel working on the system while it is
installed on the aircraft to maintain their skills. This provides
troubleshooting, removal and replacement, and validation of work through
maintenance operational checks (MOCs) to complete the loop on training. In
other words, maintenance skills depend on working on the aircraft to
sustain skill proficiency. By fielding AN/AVR-2 to only a limited number
of aircraft during the ARFORGEN process, maintainers in non-fielded
organizations will not be able to work on actual aircraft to maintain
proficiency in the task of replacing LRUs. Therefore, TADSS are required
for units scheduled to receive AN/AVR-2, but do not have equipment.
AN/AVR-2 may require a permanent NET/DET team to conduct maintenance
training during the ARFORGEN cycle when the equipment is installed on the
aircraft to maintain their skills. This NET/DET team will have to carry an
AN/AVR-2 TADSS with them when visiting a new unit. This solution comes
with a new expense for transportation and the current version of TADSS
devices were not developed to support this sort of concept when initially
fielded.

Collective Operator, Maintainer, and Support (OMS) skills and proficiency

will be trained and sustained through simulation exercises with other
combined arms players whenever possible. However, a lack of combined arms
resources and prohibitive Operations Tempo (OPTEMPO) costs, necessitate the
need for organizational training using the Live, Virtual, Constructive,
Gaming-Integrated Training Environment (LVCG-ITE) with emphasis on
constructive and virtual technology. AN/AVR-2 must be included in the
current Aviation Combined Arms Tactical Trainer (AVCATT). AN/AVR-2's
effect on missiles needs to be reflected in the semi-automated forces used
in the LVCG-ITE coordinated with PEO-STRI. AN/AVR-2 will require a live
force on force training capability. AN/AVR-2 itself must be capable of
being safed in the live force on force model to protect OPFOR Soldiers from
being injured by inadvertent countermeasure emissions.

Exportable training support packages, Aircrew Training Manuals, Soldier

training publications, DTMS, CATS, interactive multimedia instruction,
training aids, desktop/part task trainers, procedural trainers, flight
simulators, live force on force devices, and collective simulation
capability are the products that will be available for the commander to
train and sustain individual and collective skills. Commanding General
(CG) USAACE and training developers ensure that sustainment training
requirements for the AN/AVR-2 are integrated into the CATS.
7.1.1 Product Lines

The product lines will provide the capabilities that trainers and Soldiers
need to conduct training in the institutional, operational, and
self-development domains. The current ASE product lines will require
upgrades to training aids, devices, simulators, simulations, software,
hardware, databases, and TSPs and be delivered by the materiel developer to
aviation institutional base and ACOM sites as needed. The ASE training
system interfaces with the LVCG-ITE. The objective is to link system and
non-system virtual simulations into a fully integrated training capability
reducing redundancy and increasing realism.

7.1.1.3.3 Simulators

Aviators require simulations that allow them to train as they will operate
within a modular force construct, maintain proficiencies, and execute high
fidelity aviation mission rehearsals. Key enablers for this vision are a
network of common integrated training and operational Live, Virtual,
Constructive, Gaming-Integrated Training Environment (LVCG-ITE) mission
command centric capabilities at home station, combat training centers, and
operations over-seas in permissive environments. Pilots need simulators to
maintain proficiency in high risk tasks which would certainly include
operating their ASE. PM-ASE will coordinate with the PMs for each
simulator to initiate upgrades for the inclusion of AN/AVR-2. Examples of
Operator Simulators that require modification to include AN/AVR-2
capabilities include but are not limited to the following:

AH-64D (Blk I/II) Longbow Crew Trainer (LCT)

AH-64E (Blk II/III) Longbow Crew Trainer (LCT)
Longbow Collective Training System
CH-47F Transportable Flight Proficiency Simulator (TFPS)

Facility requirements for housing and maintaining the AN/AVR-2 are the
owning unit's responsibility and no new facilities are anticipated for the
maintenance of AN/AVR-2.
7.1.1.4.1 Ranges

Live fire ranges must include threat emitters or a threat emitter emulation
capability that replicates current and emerging laser threats to aviation
to enable training task integration in crew qualification and collective
gunnery events. Range requirements will be in accordance with the Training
Aid being used to execute the training and any additional requirements
based on use of the countermeasures dispensed.

Any AN/AVR-2 DL products will be developed to be compatible with the Army

Distributed Learning Program (TADLP), Classroom XXI classrooms, Digital
Training Facilities (DTFs), and Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA)
infrastructure specifications. SIPR connectivity will be required to
disseminate and display Classified information regarding AN/AVR-2
capabilities, vulnerabilities, and limitations. Proper procedures for
safeguarding this classified information must be in place.
7.1.1.4.4 CTCs

CTCs are facilities that provide realistic joint and combined arms
training. There are three primary training centers.

Joint Multi-National Training Center (JMRC)

Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC)
National Training Center (NTC)

Homestation Instrumentation Training System (HITS) supports collective

maneuver training for platoon-through-battalion units. HITS allows
commanders to train at home station in preparation for CTC rotations.

The AN/AVR-2 will provide interfaces which allow the system to interoperate
with the LVCG-ITE. The AN/AVR-2 must interoperate with current systems
such as the Multiple Integrated Engagement System (MILES), HITS, and the
Combat Training Center-Instrumentation System (CTC-IS), future Army Target
Engagement Simulation System (TESS), and Joint Engagement Simulation
Systems (ESS).

Where possible, training capabilities developed to support AN/AVR-2 will

use existing facilities and support infrastructure. Training analyses in
support of AN/AVR-2 will focus on the most efficient use of existing
resources and precisely identify and quantify any expected shortfalls.
Commanders use a combination of LVCG-ITE to create a realistic training
environment, optimize training time, and mitigate live resource
shortfalls. While developed predominately for use in the self-development
domain, computer-based ASE training will be designed in such a way that it
can also be used to support training in the institutional and operational
domains.

To determine how to best improve the quality and efficiency of instruction

and training, students and instructors will be routinely asked to evaluate
training events and products. This allows USAACE to provide the best
quality of training with the least expenditure of resources.

8.0 Self-Development Training Domain
8.1 Self-Development Training Concept and Strategy

This strategy applies to all AN/AVR-2 operators and maintainers. Learning

is a lifelong process. Institutional, operational, and self-development
training alone cannot provide the insight, intuition, imagination, and
judgment needed in combat. This requires commanders at all levels to create
an environment that encourages subordinates to establish personal and
professional development goals. Further refinement of those interests
should occur through personal mentoring by commanders and first line
supervisors. Conduct of officer and NCO professional development programs
are essential to leader development. Exploiting reach-back, distributed
learning (DL), and continuing education technologies support these
programs. Current ASE self-development products will be augmented to
include AN/AVR-2 and prepared for common databases. DL products will be
designed to support reuse within applicable courses and will be accessible
on systems worldwide. Training repositories will be reachable from
classrooms, remote locations, hardware platforms, and business environments
IAW applicable Information Assurance requirements and protocols.
Capabilities will exist to support operator, maintainer, commander, leader,
and staff development by providing access and connectivity to all levels of
Army and joint knowledge systems. Learning management systems will be
available that provide the capability to manage career-paths, determine and
plan future training requirements, and track training. Learners must have
the ability to access, retrieve, and complete secure, networked testing
materials and assess areas of strengths and weaknesses.
8.1.1 Product Lines

The ASE product lines provide the capabilities that trainers and Soldiers
need to conduct training in the operational and self-development domains.
AN/AVR-2 will use the existing ASE product lines that will require upgrades
to training aids, devices, simulators, simulations, software, hardware,
databases, and TSPs and be delivered by the materiel developer to aviation
institutional base and ACOM sites as needed.
8.1.1.1 Training Information Infrastructure

All training products will be developed in compliance with Army Training

Information Architecture (ATIA). Web-based courseware will be developed as
Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) compliant and playable in a
Microsoft Internet Explorer browser, referred to as IE browser, which can
be found on the Army Golden Master page on Army Knowledge Online (AKO).
Courseware should also be playable in Distributed Learning System (DLS)
Digital Training Facilities (DTFs) and classroom XXIs. Any AN/AVR-2 DL
products will be developed to be compatible with the Army Distributed
Learning Program (TADLP) and Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA)
infrastructure specifications.
8.1.1.1.1 Hardware, Software, and Communications Systems
8.1.1.1.2 Storage, Retrieval, and Delivery

Access and storage of AN/AVR-2 training and information will be made

available through one or more of the following locations:

LVCG-ITE to support the primary components of the TSS Training Information
Infrastructure (TII). Additionally, the capability for common
communications and data exchange operating environment integral to Brigade
Combat Team Modernization (BCTM) would be incorporated into the system.
8.1.1.2 Training Products

AN/AVR-2 training systems will require that upgrades to software, hardware,

databases, and TSPs be delivered by the Materiel Developer to aviation
sites as needed for the lifecycle of the system.
8.1.1.2.1 Courseware

The Materiel Developer will provide an AN/AVR-2 multi-media training

support package (TSP) that can be used to support institutional training at
the 128th Aviation Brigade/USAACE, unit sustainment/operational training,
and self-development training. The PM will also be responsible for
upgrading the TSP to reflect engineering changes to AN/AVR-2. The TRADOC
developed TTSP package will detail the concept of operations, effects on
mission planning, capabilities and limitations of the equipment, and
broadcast declarations received by the system.
8.1.1.2.2 Courses
8.1.1.2.3 Training Publications

The publications for self-development training will include Army Doctrine

Publications (ADPs), Army Doctrine Reference Publications (ADRPs), Field
Manuals (FMs), Army Techniques Publications (ATPs), Training Circulars

Architectures are the structure of AN/AVR-2 training components, their
relationship, and the principles and guidelines governing their design and
evolution over time. They will be the framework that describes missions,
organizations, and systems; specifies interfaces and interrelationships
amongst its various parts; facilitates coordination and synchronization
with internal and external interfaces. The AN/AVR-2 training system will
be integrated into three types of architectures-organization, functional,
and systems-each of which may have operational, technical, and systems
view.

problems are reported (e.g., high attrition course rates or ACOM
complaints). This evaluation will determine the computer-based Aircraft
Survivability Equipment (CBAT) training program's cost and effectiveness
for the fielded system. Specific areas in the evaluation process include
positive and negative aspects of operator and maintainer training,
comparison of actual costs to projected costs for all training and Soldier
proficiency, needed improvements to training in terms of cost, time, and
effectiveness and Soldiers' perception of training at the service school
and at the units.
