DTACT provides mission planning and rehearsal tools
designed specifically to illustrate urban terrain. The system utilizes
an integrated network of wireless communications units attached to
each member of the combat team, computer terminals and PDAs at leaders
and command levels, and integrated visualization and battle management
tools designed to control, evaluate and debrief training exercises and
operations. The system uses an integrated tactical
presentation showing the tactical plan and positions of each team
member on aerial photos or maps, a tree-shaped ORBAT chart showing the
status of each combatant, a reference map showing the combat zone
relative to the surrounding area, and the battle time progress shown
in gant graph view, which compares planning to actual execution
of operations. Software 3D visualization features
include multiple angle visualization, line of sight calculation,
location optimization for observation posts, firing positions and
sensor, planning axis of advance generating video simulation of
selected routes. Other features include determination of boundary
lines, safety limits etc. A comprehensive Exercise Manager capable to
plan, monitor and control any exercise. DTACT Exercise Manager
supports the blue and red forces with cellular based communications,
wireless LAN or any other form of communications capable of high data
rate for transferring images and video. All participants use PDAs with
GPS which monitor the exercise and track force location, status and
actions. After Action review (AAR) are continuously recorded, with all
messages, audio and video used. The system can interface with
helicopters and ground sensors as well as other training aids such as
MILES systems.
