## What project 2124 buys

MISSION: This effort advances science and technology initiatives to modernize Naval Aviation training systems, enabling integration of emerging capabilities into operational training. Aligned with the PMA-205 5-Year LVC Flight Plan, the Navy Aviation Simulation Master Plan, and all Navy and Marine Corps T/M/S training requirements, this project supports Fleet readiness by developing, demonstrating, and transitioning key technologies that enhance training effectiveness, scalability, and interoperability. Current initiatives focus on advancing human performance analytics through tools that support the Aircrew Proficiency and Performance Assessment (APPA) program. These efforts enable automated skill assessment, individualized debrief, and data-driven training optimization across live and virtual environments. Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approaches are used to support rapid requirements analysis, architecture development, and capability integration. Additional work includes the maturation of immersive training solutions such as intelligent semi-automated forces, augmented and mixed reality environments, adaptive mission rehearsal tools, and high-fidelity simulations of sensors, weapons, and environmental effects. This project also supports the development of advanced analytics tools for the Joint Simulation Environment (JSE) and high-fidelity modeling for the Next Generation Threat System (NGTS), enabling greater realism and operational value for JSE and other training systems. Technologies under development are evaluated and refined using testbeds that incorporate aviator feedback to ensure operational suitability and alignment with Fleet needs. Collectively, this effort accelerates the transition of innovative training capabilities to the Fleet and ensures Naval Aviation remains prepared to meet evolving mission demands across all warfare domains.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development; Support; Test and Evaluation; Management Services.

## Named R-3 performers

| Performer | $M | Share of this project's FY2027 R-3 total |
|---|---|---|
| NAWC AD | 9.9 | 83% |
| NAWCTSD | 2.0 | 17% |

> Budget-justification contract funding, not obligations. Shares need not reach 100% — unnamed and government work is in the denominator.

## Activities (R-2A) — 1

### AIR WARFARE TRAINING DEVELOPMENT

Funds are allocated to continue the development and integration of advanced training capabilities, including the enhancement of data collection and fusion for semi-automated performance measurement and debriefing in Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) training environments, and the transition of Virtual/Augmented/Mixed Reality display…
