LIVE – VIRTUAL – CONSTRUCTIVE TRAINING TERMS
► Live (L) - real people operating real
systems
► Virtual (V) - real people operating
simulated systems
► Constructive (C) - simulated
participants operating simulated
systems
►LVC Integration - different types of
simulation connected together

LVC integration brings the benefits of
simulation to traditional ‘live’ training

WHY PURSUE LVC TRAINING FOR AIR-SEA INTEGRATION?
► Expense of using live assets
► Safety & security protocols
impinge on realism
► Restricted end-to-end training
► EW environment limited by
proximity to land & other ships
► High end adversaries hard to
simulate with live assets
► Difficulty of assembling
relevant force mass

Growing Importance of Virtual
and Constructive Training

6.
SYNTHETIC TRAINING CHALLENGES FOR NAVIES
► Cultural – primacy of ‘Sea Training’
► Embedded ‘training’ systems – often
not fully exploited
► Complexity - multi-faceted nature of
most naval scenarios
► Security Restrictions – sharing of
data, who and how
► Achieving the necessary fidelity
► Technology - latency, bandwidth,
common communication protocols
► Live / Synthetic Blend

‘Spending to Save’ – but challenge of upfront
Investment

BENEFITS OF LIVE - VIRTUAL - CONSTRUCTIVE TRAINING
► Reduced cost
► More realistic training
► On demand scenarios
► Realistic C2 and mission
rehearsal
► Full employment of
weapon systems
► Secure mission training

KEY ISSUES FOR 5TH GENERATION AIRCRAFT
► Security
 Cross-domain
 Managing different security levels
 Integrity within Training Solution
► Satisfying 5th Gen aircraft capabilities
 Number of targets
► Interoperability constraints
► Training Areas - Airspace
► EMCON
 Training / Operational modes

Security constraints are the greatest
challenge to integration

9.
OTHER SYNTHETIC TRAINING CHALLENGES
► White Force resourcing
► Accommodating LVC Training alongside
real world tasking
 Real world tasking constraints
► Ensuring sufficient realism from synthetic
training in ships’ CICs
► Achieving a common After Action Review
process
