Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com Trainer The agency that trains personnel to operate and maintain systems, TRADOC is the trainer for most equipment. Training developer Determiner and documenter of training requirements as well as the conceptualizer, developer, and executor of solutions to training requirements identified through the combat development process. The solutions may include new or revised training programs, material, methods, media, and system and nonsystem training devices.
Training Test Support Package (Training TSP) A package that consists of materials used by the training developer/trainer to train test players and by the evaluator in evaluating training on a new system. This includes training of doctrine and tactics for the system and maintenance on the system. It focuses on the performance of specific individual and collective tasks during OT of a new system. The Training TSP is prepared by the proponent training developer and trainer and represents the individual, collective, and unit training for the system when initially fielded.
Vulnerability The characteristic of a system that causes it to suffer a definite degradation (loss or reduction of capability to perform its designated mission) as a result of having been subjected to a certain (defined) level of effects in an unnatural (man- made) hostile environment. Vulnerability is considered a subset of survivability. Warfighting experimentation A group of experiments with representative soldiers in as realistic an operational environment as possible via application of constructive, virtual, and live simulation to produce insights supporting requirements determination. They examine—(1) Whether the warfighting concepts are achievable and effective.
(2) The military utility and burdens of new and existing technologies. (3) The utility and contribution of new ideas and approaches in doctrine, TTP, training, leader developments, organization design, and soldier specialties/abilities. Experimentation may be either a single discrete event or an iterative progressive mix of simulations as necessary to support development and/or refinement of warfighting concepts, future operational capabilities, DTLOMS needs determination analysis report, MNS, capstone requirements documents, ORD, and so forth.
Experiments are conducted by or under the oversight or assistance of one or more Battle Labs or Army proponents with warfighting requirements determination missions. Examples of warfighting experiments include AWE, CEP, ACTD, and ATD Battle Lab demonstration events. Warfighting Rapid Acquisition Program (WRAP) A program directed at accelerating procurement of systems identified through warfighting experiments as compelling successes that satisfy an urgent need. WRAPs are implemented within the existing Army structure. WRAP is compatible with and supports FAR, DOD, and Army acquisition policy (DOD 5000 series and AR 70 series).
AWEs, CEPs, ATDs, ACTDs, and similar experiments where ICT, supported by a battle lab, are directly involved may be used to identify WRAP candidates. The WRAP ASARC, chaired by the Military Deputy AAE, meets annually to consider the approval of candidates submitted by CG TRADOC for entry into WRAP. Congress appropriates dollars specifically to fund approved WRAP programs. Approved programs may be funded as a prototype for 2 years. Immediate funding is not guaranteed. Continued actions will be needed to obtain fully document system “Standard” type classification and full logistics support.
(See AR 71–9.) Working-level Integrated Product Team (WIPT) Teams composed of headquarters and component functional personnel who support the MATDEV by focusing on a particular topic such as T&E, cost analysis, performance analysis, and similar activities. An Integrating IPT will coordinate all WIPT efforts and cover all topics not otherwise assigned to another WIPT. The MATDEV or his designee will usually chair WIPTs. WIPTs provide empowered functional knowledge and experience, recommendations for program success and communicate status and unresolved issues concerning their areas of responsibility.
