Product Line Approach:

CDT will leverage and reuse the Live Training Transformation (LT2) Integrated Development Environment (IDE). CDT product line will focus on configuration management, documentation, common requirements, and component architecture. CDT components will follow an open architecture approach and be leveraged across the CDT product line portfolio to maximize reuse and reduce development and sustainment costs.

Requirement:

PM GCTT has a requirement to field the CDT systems to CONUS and OCONUS sites.

The CDT VPL will provide initial familiarization training for wheeled and tracked vehicles as well as sustainment training. The CDT VPL will provide capabilities that allow students to become familiar with the arrangement and operation of the vehicle, including starting and stopping procedures, monitoring instruments, and familiarization with procedures employed while driving under varied terrain and weather conditions. The CDT VPL will increase the effectiveness of driver training by permitting the instructor to observe student driver performance and their reactions to artificially induced malfunctions and (tactical) emergency conditions. The contractor will be responsible for producing CDT VPL based off the current CDT Component and developing and updating the CDT Component Architecture as necessary. The contractor will be responsible for restructuring CDT software and hardware, as necessary, to improve the CDT product line and leverage the LT2 portal and LT2 IDE. The contractor will be responsible for integrating CDT IDE and SSE into LT2 IDE.
