Amentum to Develop Live Training System Prototype for US Army PEO STRI

Amentum has been awarded an agreement under the Other Transaction Authority to develop a prototype of its Synthetic Training Environment (STE) Live Training System (LTS) Force-on-Force (FoF) solution by the U.S. Army PEO-STRI utilizing the Training and Readiness Accelerator (TReX) consortium.

Under this agreement, Amentum will develop a system that eliminates the limitations of current laser-based systems by embedding new sensor-based technologies directly on the weapon. With a “train-as-you-fight” approach, Amentum will provide a prototype of the next generation of force-on-force training that ensures realism, mobility, and optimal training effectiveness.

Amentum is leading a team of traditional and non-traditional federal technology and service providers including FN America, Cole Engineering Systems, Cornet Technologies, and SoarTech.

Team Amentum’s sensor-based technology combines embedded optics with computer vision software that easily mounts on the rail of a weapon system. This optics-based sensor technology provides trainers and exercise control officers with real-time feedback of the shooter’s performance in a FoF environment that accounts for the physical effects occlusions; something not yet addressed in laser-based training systems.
