Announcement:
Background:
The Air Force Lifecycle Management Center Architecture and Integration Directorate (AFLCMC/XA) will
host the Common Synthetic Training Environment (CSTE) Industry Day on 20 and 21 October 2021 in
Dayton, Ohio.
Currently fielded simulator systems and networks are often federated and do not support performance
needs for high-end, multi-domain training. In addition, current tech cycle timelines are untenable, and
are often outpaced by adversary capabilities.
In order to address these shortfalls, the US Air Force Operational Test and Training Infrastructure (OTTI)
community is pursuing development of the Common Synthetic Training Environment (CSTE). This
environment will apply modern tools and best-known practices to build an evolutionary ecosystem that
that can react to emerging threats and provide relevant and timely training to warfighters. The US
Government will establish an industry consortium to accomplish these objectives.
Discussion:
One-on-One Meetings:
During the Industry Day event, the AFLCMC/XA CSTE team will deliver an overview briefing covering the
