The CTC proprietary capabilities allow for the creation and updating of operational synch matrices; tracking scenario status; integration with the Command Post of the Future, and production of After-Action-Reviews. In addition, support provided will include the development and configuration of proprietary capabilities which enable advanced users to configure current programs for use at different training sites, ranging from home stations to other Combat Training Centers, in addition to allowing for in-theater training. CTC will provide qualified personnel, materials, facilities, equipment, test instrumentation, data collection and analysis hardware and software, and other services that support the SMDC/ARSTRAT mission in addition to providing assistance and support integrally related to SMDC/ARSTRAT's global product areas and missions supporting the Department of Defense (DoD); non-DoD; US Navy; US Marine Corps; US Air Force; US Special Operations Command; Department of Homeland Security, and other Federal agencies and or Joint Agencies in the execution of their missions. In addition, CTC performance during the contract extension includes providing development and coordination of concepts and requirements and the application of current and emerging technologies, with integration to other training programs in various life-cycle stages. CTC performance will include enhancements to the proprietary RIPPLE and E-CTC capabilities in order to increase functionality via the incorporation of space assets, command and control, intelligence, cyber and space products.
