## What project 779 buys

The Joint Live, Virtual and Constructive (JLVC) Modernization project was developed to address the joint operational training gaps identified in the 2022 China Task Force: Inability of current JLVC capabilities to replicate peer competitor capabilities/capacity at the appropriate classification levels, train to Joint Warfighting Concept (JWC) 3.0/4.0-identified Key Operational Problems (KOP) and Concept Required Capabilities (CRC) with existing JLVC training capability and Global Joint Training Infrastructure (GJTI). JLVC Modernization funding will be utilized to develop core data standardization, non-kinetic effects, exercise control, and fully informed simulation environment within the JLVC training capability while investing in Service and Combat Support Agency corresponding JLVC-compliant simulation all-domain capabilities. Additionally, JLVC Modernization funds will invest in rapid capability advancement via Industry and Academia, primarily through other transaction authorities (OTA) vehicles, to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) for a wide range of JLVC applications, from software integration, test and interoperability, scenario generation to AI-powered After-Action Review (AAR) and analysis.
