Lockheed Martin Corporation was formed in 1995 as a lead systems integrator and information technology company. Lockheed Martin’s Training and Simulation Division delivers training and simulation technologies, as well as live training, to defense and civil customers worldwide. One of the infamous training solutions developed for the United States military is the Virtual Combat Convoy Trainer (Figure 2.1). The Lockheed Martin VCCT consists of a 53-foot, self-contained, deployable commercial trailer (Figure 2.2). Using a full-scale HUMVEE and simulation system that replicates scenarios troops might encounter, it enables combat crews to communicate, maintain situational awareness and acquire targets while moving at highway speeds operating in a convoy environment.
The VCCT provides training for drivers, shooters, communicators, and decision makers—each according to the unique requirements of their position, tactical circumstances, and unit or service standard operating procedure. Therefore, military troops are able to test their maneuverability skills on unfamiliar terrain conditions and practice the techniques, tactics, and procedures that would come into play if they were to find themselves in a real-world combat situation.
During the simulation, troops come in contact with a variety of unpredictable situations such as: enemy-made obstacles, IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices), friendly civilians, and enemy fire. Military troops learn the importance of being able to accomplish a mission effectively without being distracted and thrown off course by surrounding obstacles during the simulation. |
