Submarine Multi-Mission Team Trainer

To achieve desired submarine force readiness levels, it is necessary to construct highly sophisticated shore based Combat System Team Trainers capable of training personnel in all aspects of submarine approach, attack and surveillance operations in a controlled, simulated environment. The Combat Control System (CCS) AN/BYG-1 and sonar system AN/BQQ-10 are installed on SSN, SSBN and SSGN class submarines. These tactical systems are planned for future upgrades with the next hardware and software revisions which will provide enhanced War Fighter capabilities. The Tactical Acoustic Rapid COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) Insertion (ARCI) phased upgrades are also being installed with future revisions. The Advanced Processing Builds (APB) and Technical Insertion (TI) sensors, which feed technology insertion into the CCS/Acoustic development, directly impact the trainers. The Submarine Multi-Mission Team Trainer (SMMTT) supports operator, employment, strike, and Battle Group training for enlisted and officer pipelines. The SMMTT provides operators and combat teams the opportunity to train ashore, prior to, and between deployments. The shore based training provides a means of maintaining team proficiency in stand alone or in combined team mode prior to ship deployment.
