Description

The U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), Program Manager Training Devices (PM TRADE), Project Manager for Ground Combat Tactical Trainers (GCTT) is contemplating a new acquisition for a Maintenance Training System (MTS) for the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV). This effort will be in used for the JLTV Maintainer training course for MOS 91B10, 91B30, and 915A that will take place at the Ordnance schools, located at Fort Lee, VA and 13 Regional Training sites operated by the National Guard and Army Reserve (9 National Guard Regional Training Site - Maintenance (RTSM) and 4 US Army Reserve (USAR) RTSMs for a total of 13 RTSM). All institutional maintenance training will emphasize Diagnostic and Troubleshooting Trainers (DTT), Hands on Trainers (HOT), and Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI). Diagnostic and Troubleshooting Trainers (DTT): Diagnostic and Troubleshooting Trainers (DTT) will consist of classrooms, Technical Manual-based interactive multimedia 3-D simulations that teach familiarization with the vehicle, operational skills required by the maintainer, and cognitive skills about diagnostic procedures and the use of the technical manual to assist in troubleshooting. DTTs training Tasks developed will have to be synchronized with the functionality of the HOTs System The Army's maintainers will train on critical tasks associated with all major components and troubleshooting/repair with all sensors, switches and wiring harnesses. The major components are; a. Diesel Engine b. Fuel System c. Cooling System d. Electrical System e. Hydraulic System f. Brake System g. Transmission h. Transfer System i. Driveline Assembly j. Suspension System k. Steering System l. Central Tire Inflation System m. Automatic Fire Extinguishing System n. Weapons Systems o. Air Conditioning System A design goal for the DTT is to develop a software architecture that will easily facilitate adding future weapon platforms with little or no hardware impacts and facilitate technology changes associated with Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs). The two DDT classrooms at Fort Lee, VA will each supporting 42 students and 1 instructor station. One DDT classroom is required at each of the Regional Training Site that support 12 students and 1 instructor station. For development of the specific DTT lessons, it is anticipated Computer Aided Design (CAD) data of the vehicle can be provided by the government, however only draft IETMs will be initially available. The initial classroom DTTs at Ft Lee are required by 4QFY19. Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI) The MTS shall include a separate collection of Maintenance Task Training Applications (MTT-APPs) to support maintainer Home Station training. These MTT-APPs shall be based on the JLTV training content developed for the MTS 3D interactive DTT simulation but may provide this content at a lower fidelity level than in the MTS DTTs. The MTT-APPs shall provide a Home Station training capability for each of the troubleshooting and maintenance tasks developed for the DTTs. The MTT-APPs shall be individual, single task maintenance training applications Hands on Trainer (HOT) The MTS shall include HOT for training small groups on specific aspects of a vehicle. The HOT device or devices will be used to train troubleshooting and basic remove and replace tasks. The HOT device(s) can also be used in the verification of repair. The HOT device(s) will provide all the functionality of the given portion of the JLTV isolated from the total system and allow instructor induced failure to train specific tasks. The HOT shall consist of the following Systems: a. Drive train b. Electrical c. Suspension System Components The total quantity of HOTs will be 50. A quantity of 24 HOTs will be delivered to Ft Lee VA.. The Remaining 26 HOTs will be delivered to the 13 RTS-M sites (2 to each site). To support development of the HOTs the government intends to provide JLTV vehicles or minimal configuration JLTV vehicles as Government Furnished Property (GFP). Initially delivery of the HOTs will be required to start no later than 1QFY20 to FT LEE VA, with all the remaining HOTs delivered by the 1QFY22 to the remaining locations.
