AN/USQT-46 Battle Force Tactical Training (BFTT) | | | Description
The BFTT family of systems (BFTT, BFTT Electronic Warfare Trainer (BEWT) and the Trainer Simulator Stimulator System (TSSS)) provides coordinated stimulation/simulation of shipboard combat systems to facilitate Combat Systems Team training providing the capability to conduct realistic joint warfare training across the spectrum of armed conflict and conduct realistic unit level team training in all primary warfare areas.
BFTT accomplishes this by establishing a synthetic environment in which a tactical scenario is run. Combat System elements receive information from BFTT to stimulate shipboard tactical equipment, resulting in effective coordinated team training even while in-port. BFTT’s ability to simulate friendly, neutral, or enemy forces such as aircraft/ships/submarines/ weapons allows for robust scenario development accurately reflecting the wide range of tactical proficiency levels as a ship and battle group traverse the deployment training cycle.
In addition to this capability to conduct single ship organic training, BFTT, when networked with other units through the Navy Continuous Training Environment (NCTE) allows for multiple units to participate in coordinated distributed training events. More than 100 U.S. Navy warships, including CVN, CG, DDG, LHA, LHD, LPD and LSD class ships have the BFTT system.
BFTT is undergoing an incremental improvement program labeled "BFTT mod” to improve sustainability, update the underlying technology and improve training fidelity.
