PM ST is the Army's solution provider for live instrumented training systems.
PM ST's mission is to develop, acquire, field and sustain a family of interoperable live training solutions for use at Home Station, CTCs, institutions, and deployed sites to improve Warfighter readiness.
By managing the acquisition of training systems to meet the user's requirements, the goal is to deliver the systems on schedule and within cost and to provide life cycle management to ensure the best value products for the Army and external customers.
Background
Modify existing TESS
Provide SLEP and CTR to existing TESS
Lot may include 210,000 systems over the 10 year period
Modifications resulting from weapon platform evolution
Modifications required for STE LTS interoperability
Procure new TESS similar to existing TESS in the field today
Focus on Army Force Structure change
There will be at least 3 new weapon platforms requiring new TESS.
These procurements could be variants of existing TESS or new systems to interoperate with new weapon platforms and STE LTS products.
