Joint Terminal Control Training and Rehearsal System (JTC TRS) Program

The Joint Terminal Control Training and Rehearsal System (JTC TRS) Program will continue to acquire and sustain high fidelity training systems designed to provide realistic training for Terminal Attack Control, Close Air Support (CAS), Call for Fire and Air to Ground Command and Control. The JTC TRS Program consists of two separate simulation systems: a Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) simulator, known as JTC TRS, which includes fixed dome, desktop, and portable systems, and an Air Support Operations Center (ASOC) simulator known as Joint Theater Air Ground Simulation System (JTAGSS). The JTC TRS Program will continue to provide robust, interactive multimedia, High Level Architecture (HLA) and/or Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) compliant systems. The systems will provide constructive entity control, realistic flight profiles, accurate ordnance delivery and effects, and support actual, simulated or emulated equipment used in combat operations including weapons, radio equipment, target marking equipment and global positioning systems. The systems are and must be capable of participating in distributed operations over Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) networks. Both simulator systems are critical to the training and mission readiness of the TACP Weapons System and Combat Control JTAC qualifications, and therefore there can be no interruption of training capability during any transition or over the course of the system sustainment. The JTC TRS Program will continue to procure, field and support upgradeable mission simulation systems (JTC TRS and JTAGSS) that have joint applicability for training personnel in all services. JTC TRS and JTAGSS devices will be procured as production-ready systems or transitioned into the program to support JTAC training needs. For day-to-day training operations at the JTC TRS training sites, government and military personnel will conduct all training, perform minor maintenance, and offer limited upgrade support. Contractor instructors or technicians for JTC TRS training sites will not be required on-site except during initial system installation or if unscheduled or scheduled maintenance is required. Contractor field support for JTC TRS will be conducted on an as needed and/or as scheduled basis. For day-to-day operations at the JTAGSS training sites, contractor personnel will operate the system for training events, perform maintenance, and install government approved configuration changes. The contractor will provide spare parts, system repair support, and maintain system concurrency via a logistics support process and through operation of a Training System Support Center (TSSC) to meet the trainer repair time requirement (as defined in the H001 Clause), the Performance Specification (P-Spec) and the contract.
