Research abstract
Today, simulation systems capable of training a maneuver battalion require specially designed simulation centers with infrastructure that requires significant upfront planning, maintenance, and operational labor. This constrains the potential training opportunities, as there are few suitably equipped simulation centers and they are not geographically convenient to all potential trainees. Eliminating the need for a permanent simulation center will drastically amplify the impact provided by modern simulation systems. Enabling simulation systems to be deployed at remote locations and to small units in the field will enhance: • Mission Readiness through more frequent and uniquely tailored training • Mission Planning through use of sophisticated simulation tools integrated directly with the unit’s go-to-war systems for Course Of Action development and analysis, and • Mission Rehearsal through deployment of a robust simulation system to the units in the field. StackFrame, LLC is addressing key objectives to provide a training system that will be portable, compact, and easily transportable. In addition, the StackFrame solution will minimize the amount of operators needed to deploy and operate such a system that will be capable of training at the Battalion level.
