Training Systems Integration

Military forces around the world must adapt to budgetary constraints, operational demands, personnel shortages, new threats and complex weapon systems, evolving operational doctrines, and shifting priorities. All of these issues can impact training capabilities and ultimately, the readiness of the men and women in uniform. These issues have also led a number of militaries to look to private industry for the provision of turnkey training solutions.

Contracting for comprehensive, turnkey training services offers the military customer a cost-effective means to producing tactically and technically proficient as well as mission-ready warfighters. By leveraging simulation-based technology and shifting training system accountability to private industry, militaries are able to focus on operational demands and requirements.

Training systems integration: a cooperative effort

The nomenclature for industry taking on a more prominent role often varies - prime contractor, lead systems integrator (LSI), training system integrator (TSI), or training service provider (TSP). Different countries use the same or similar terms for a range of initiatives, and the duties and responsibilities of the industry lead may be slightly different. However, the bottom line is all these military training solutions incorporate a large degree of cooperative effort. The industry lead must go beyond just meeting specifications, and become a stakeholder in training system effectiveness. Industry is typically given at least partial curriculum design responsibility as well as significant management authority.
