OBW returns for second year with high expectations Operation Blended Warrior (OBW), in its second year, is a multi-year event designed with the primary intent to better understand and address challenges faced by the DoD in the development and execution of a Live Virtual Constructive (LVC) environment for training. Organizer Kent Gritton said, “OBW is both a demonstration of industry’s LVC capabilities in a representative, complex LVC environment, within a venue that encourages discussion with LVC experts about the challenges LVC participants face.”
PM TRASYS supports OBW, showcases Animatronics, C2P2 As one of the initial participants in last year’s Operation Blended Warrior (OBW), Marine Corps Systems Command’s Program Manager for Training Systems (PM TRASYS) will provide representative training systems integrated to illustrate how Live, Virtual and Constructive simulations can provide representative training systems integrated to illustrate how Live, Virtual and Constructive simulations can provide collective training to enhance combat readiness. This will include participation in the Amphibious Assault vignettes of OBW with our Combined Arms Command and Control Trainer Upgrade System (CACCTUS) and Deployable Virtual Training Environment (DVTE) training systems.
NAWCTSD offers opportunities for learning; Industry Day The United States Navy will be showcasing its latest training and simulation technologies that help prepare the nation’s Warfighters for mission success in booths #337 and #1239. Naval engineers and scientists will provide demonstrations of advanced training solutions for submarines, ships, aircraft, and other specialized requirements. Also highlighted will be the Navy’s commitment to joint service interoperability and close cooperation with private industry and academia in the development of training systems.
