SYSTEM TRAINING PLAN (STRAP)
FOR THE AERIAL COMMON SENSOR, ACS/GRVII
1. System Description.
a. Narrative System Description. The Aerial Common Sensor (ACS) is a multiintelligence collection system that consists of an airborne collection platform and a ground
processing station. The ACS program is the evolution and integration of the Aerial
Reconnaissance Low – Multifunction (ARL-M) and the GUARDRAIL Common Sensor system.
ACS is a rapidly self-deployable system that conducts multifunction intelligence missions in
support of theater and corps commanders with a secondary mission to support echelons above
corps and joint task force commanders. It provides indications and warnings, targeting, and
situation developments across the spectrum of conflict, from stability and support operations
through full-scale war. It is a new system with projected fielding beginning in fiscal year 2009.
The ACS consists of four major component groups: the Aerial Platform Subsystem (APS), a
suite of airborne mission payloads, a Ground Processing Facility (GPF) and the DOD-standard
Common Data Link (CDL) family.
(1) The APS is a non-developmental fixed-wing aircraft capable of self-deployment
without removal of the mission payload. The APS is capable of 8 hour (Threshold (T)), with
growth to 10 hours (Objective (O)), endurance flights at operational altitudes of 25,000 to 35,000
(T) feet above mean sea level, with growth to 45,000 feet (O).
(2) The airborne mission payloads consist of a suite of modular signals intelligence
(SIGINT), image intelligence (IMINT), and measurements and signature intelligence (MASINT)
sensors. These systems provide on-board processing in situations when the GPF is not available.
The ACS SIGINT sensor suite is part of the Joint SIGINT Avionics Family (JSAF). Its primary
task is to produce precise geolocation data on signals of unique interest to the commander, with a
secondary task of conducting electronic surveillance, situational development, and order of
battle, providing the commander with near-real-time intelligence. The ACS IMINT and
MASINT sensor suites consists primarily of government off-the shelf (GOTS) or commercial
off-the shelf (COTS) modular components that provide the commander real or near-real time
imagery and targeting capabilities.
(3) The GPF consist of a maximum of six high-mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles
or similar sized vehicles equipped with ground workstations and feeding remote workstations.
The GPF provides supported commanders with a tailorable, scaleable, modular, and quickly
deployable intelligence processing system. It receives, processes, displays, and disseminates
intelligence from the APS and other service platforms, which are Common Imagery
Ground/Surface System/Common Data Link compliant. It is capable of interoperations with
other joint and national systems that comply with the Distributed Common Ground System
(DCGS) multi-intelligence architecture. It has Level IV (aerial vehicle and payload control)
interoperability with the Army Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (TUAV). The ACS is
capable of limited on-board data processing and is able to pass data to almost any of the Army’s
existing intelligence systems through the All Source Analysis System (ASAS) net. It is capable
1
of transmitting via the Joint Tactical Terminal (JTT), via the Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS),
satellite communications and area communication paths.
b. First Unit Equipped (FUE). The FUE with ACS has not been determined at this time.
ACS will be fielded during FY 2009.
2. Target Audience. ACS training will be required for personnel assigned to units with the
system. The Program Manager (PM) will conduct initial training for key personnel in the
following military occupational specialties (MOS): Voice Interceptors (98G), Non-voice
Interceptor/Analyst (98J), Non-Morse Interceptor/Analyst (98K), Signals Intelligence Analyst
(98C), Common Ground Station Operator (96H), Imagery Analysts (96D), UAV operator (96U),
Electronic Warfare/Intercept System Repairer (33W), IEW Equipment Technician (353A),
Signals Intelligence/Electronic Warfare (SIGINT/EW) Officer (35G) and Warrant Officer (352),
UAV Operations Technician (350U), Aviation All-Source Intelligence Officer (15C), and Fixed
Wing Aviator (155 series). Changes to the 96-series and 98-series career management fields will
result in changes to those MOS before ACS is fielded. Final determination of the target audience
is dependent on the outcome of those changes and the Basis of Issue Plan/Qualitative and
Quantitative Personnel Requirements Information (BOIP/QQPRI) data for ACS.
3. Assumptions.
a. Manpower. No additions to current force structure required at this time. This STRAP
will not drive additional manpower requirements.
b. Personnel. Operators and maintainers will be assigned from MOSs currently assigned to
those positions in the systems ACS replaces.
c. Training. The materiel developer will create a software-based virtual system simulator
as part of the modeling and simulation designs acquisition process. The materiel developer will
provide instructor and key personnel training (IKPT) prior to FUE, and new equipment training
(NET) to the units that will receive ACS. These costs will be borne by the materiel developer.
All the training materials developed for the IKPT, NET, and sustainment training will be
provided to the units. The PM-ACS will provide seventeen workstations to the schoolhouse to
be used for the 33W MOS training in ACS. The PM will provide funds for the Intelligence
Center to participate in the training development and integrated logistic support integrated
product team meetings, in-process/ progress reviews, developmental test/operational test
(DT/OT) training, NET, and IKPT.
d. Maintenance. The materiel developer will conduct a complete logistic support analysis
(LSA) for the system. The materiel developer will procure complete technical documentation
including but not limited to: repair parts special tools lists, depot maintenance work
requirements, and electronic technical manuals. The user will perform maintenance in
accordance with (IAW) AR 750-1 and DA Pams 738-750, and 738-751. There is a possibility
for this system to be Contract Logistic Support (CLS).
2
e. Training Prerequisites.
(1) Personnel clearance. Personnel to be trained in the system will require clearance and
access to classified material. If this is the case, the appropriate level clearance will be
established as a prerequisite for training.
(2) Personnel physical requirements. Personnel to be trained may require a Class III
Flight Physical if the system is designed to carry operators on board. If this is the case, the
Flight Physical will be established as pre-requisite for training.
(3) Pilots Training. Aviators must go through the following courses at Fort Rucker as a
prerequisite to attend the Special Electronic Mission Aircraft (SEMA) course (Course Number
2C-15C/2B-ASIF4 (PQ)) at Fort Huachuca in preparation to assignment to an ACS unit.




Aviation Officer Basic Course (Course Number 2-1-C20) Commissioned officers that
attend OBC from a different branch are not required to take this course.
Aviation Warrant Officer Basic Course (Course Number 2C-IERW and 2-1-C32)
Initial Entry Rotary Wing Qualification Course (Course Number 2C-IERW, 2C15A/SIA2/152B, and/or 2C-15A/67J/SIB1/153B)
Fixed Wing Multi-Engine Qualification Course (Course Number 2C15A/67J/SIE4/2B-155A)
4. Training Constraints.
a. Human Factors Engineering. Modular construction will ease the replacement of
subsystems that fail. The system may be used by the 5th percentile female to 95th percentile male
operators under all expected environmental and battlefield conditions.
b. Soldier Survivability. All ACS aircraft, as a minimum, will be equipped with Aircraft
Survival Equipment (ASE) that is capable of countering threat anti-aircraft weapons systems.
Unimpeded crew egress and integrated weather radar/storm scope are required in the aircraft.
The GPF, as a minimum, will be equipped with Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) attack
protection equipment.
5. Training Concept (AA/RC). Methods of instruction available for trainers will include the
use of operational software, operator-level embedded training, virtual simulations, computer
based training (CBT), web-based training, materials, positional handbooks, and doctrinal
publications. The new equipment training team (NETT) will leave the CBT, lesson plans and
Program of Instruction (POI) behind at the gaining unit in an electronic exportable media format.
Personnel for the NETT will be provided by the materiel developer in conjunction with the New
Systems Training Office (NSTO) and selected USAIC&FH personnel. Updated materials
created by the materiel developer will be available through the USAIC&FH Distance Learning
(DL) Office. The units will be responsible to conduct sustainment training on the system after
receiving the NET. A resident institutional ACS course for system operators is not required due
to the low density of the ACS system and the availability of DL/embedded technologies. No
reserve unit is scheduled to receive training in this system.
3
a. NET at the units for new system operators, maintainers, and leaders will consist of
lecture-type instruction and software-based virtual simulator. IKPT for the system operators and
maintainers will be conduced by the materiel developer, at its facilities, prior to the system
fielding.
b. Pilot initial aircraft-specific qualification for the IKPT crews will be conducted at the
selected aircraft manufacturer training facilities. The materiel developer will conduct missionspecific pilot training in conjunction with aircraft manufacturer facilities training to assure
Federal Aviation Administration certification and qualification of the IKPT crews. Lesson plans
developed for these tasks will be incorporated as part of the SEMA curriculum at the
USAIC&FH facilities. After the IKPT, subsequent pilot aircraft-specific qualification for ACS
will be conducted at USAIC&FH as part of the SEMA curriculum.
c. Sustainment training will be conducted at the units; it will support system-specific tasks
and provide any additional training to support the unit’s Mission Essential Task List.
Sustainment training will utilize DL materials and embedded training to the greatest extent
possible, taking full advantage of the virtual simulators developed as part of the system
acquisition and the Intelligence Electronic Warfare Tactical Proficiency Trainer (IEWTPT)
Target Signature Array (TSA). The appropriate Aircrew Training Manual will dictate the
appropriate annual/semi-annual training requirements for the aircrew.
d. Leader training will be available through a computer-based training and web-based
training that encapsulates doctrine and tactics training (DTT). Training development will be
structured and executed within the context of Training and Doctrine Commands (TRADOC)
system approach to training.
6. Training Strategy (AA/RC). All ACS system training, with the exception of pilots, and
NET, will be based on DL technologies (i.e. interactive computer-based training (ICBT), webbased training, and exportable training packages) with review and approval authority residing at
the Training Development Office in USAIC&FH.
a. NET Strategy (Warmod). The NET will be conducted at the materiel developer's
facilities for the FUE. Subsequent NETs will be conducted at the receiving units when the
system is delivered. The units will be responsible to conduct sustainment training on the system
after receiving the NET.
(1) Aviators. Pilots selected for the ACS must go through The Fixed Wing Multi-Engine
Transition Course in Fort Rucker as a pre-requisite. The manufacturer of the selected airframe
will conduct aircraft-specific training and qualification for aviators at their facilities. After
qualification, the materiel developer will conduct the mission-specific training for the selected
pilots at the materiel developer facilities. Instructor-pilots will go through the same training
prior to assignment to USAIC&FH as instructors for the SEMA course. Pilot training will
transition from the aircraft manufacturer and materiel developer facilities to the SEMA course
when USAIC&FH receives the training aircraft and has enough instructor pilots to conduct the
training.
4
(2) System operators. There will be no institutional course. The materiel developer will
provide an IKPT and NET at its facilities, prior to the fielding of the first system and NET at the
units for each subsequent system fielded. The majority of training will be conducted using the
virtual simulator, the actual aircraft, and the installed sensor packages. Training will be divided
into separate courses based on mission function.
(a) The Communications Intelligence Operator receives 200 hours including lecture
and hands-on equipment training both in the virtual simulator and the actual equipment, and
includes the 98-series MOS’s that will perform this task. The training concentrates on use of the
COMINT payload, but includes an overview of the other subsystems capabilities installed on
ACS with emphasis on cross-cueing targets.
(b) The Imagery Intelligence Operator receives 160 hours including lecture and
equipment hands-on training both in the virtual simulator and the actual equipment, and includes
the 96-series MOS’s. The first 90 hours concentrate on daylight and infrared imagery; the
remaining 70 hours are dedicated to radar-based payloads.
(c) The ACS Mission Supervisors will be selected by the unit from the senior
operators and will receive either the Communications Intelligence Operator or The Imagery
Intelligence Operator training plus an additional 40 hours training in more detail on system
configuration, sensor management, communications, tasking and reporting, and system
troubleshooting.
(3) Maintainers. The materiel developer will provide an IKPT and NET at its facilities,
prior to the fielding of the first system and NET at the units for each subsequent system fielded.
Lesson plans developed for the IKPT will be incorporated into the institutional training for the
33W at USAIC&FH. The virtual simulator package will be made available to the schoolhouse
for future training of the 33W.
b. CATS Individual Training Strategy (Warrior).
(1) Given the low-density student population for ACS, there are no plans to establish any
new functional courses for system operators at the United States Army Intelligence Center.
However, training designed to introduce officers, warrant officers, and senior NCOs to the
unique characteristics and doctrine of ACS operations will be incorporated into existing resident
training. Appropriate Intelligence Center officer, warrant officer, and senior NCO professional
development courses will be modified to include ACS training focusing in doctrine and concepts
of operation; an electronic media version of the DTT will be used for this training. Adding ACS
has minimal impact on the present curriculum in the above courses because ACS training will
replace existing GUARDRAIL and ARL training. Applicable commander’s evaluation/leader
assessment programs (CE/LAP) will be reviewed and revised as appropriate.
(2) The training for the 33W MOS course, conducted at USAIC&FH, will include three
weeks of ACS System training for the students identified as being assigned to ACS units.
Students will be trained on the theory of operation and troubleshooting techniques at the direct
support level. This will include training on the interpretation of built in test results, and removal
5
and replacement of line replaceable units. This training will be conducted on virtual simulators.
The PM will provide sixteen workstations to run the virtual simulator software plus one
instructor terminal to monitor student progress.
(3) The SEMA Course conducted at USAIC&FH will be tailored for ACS missionspecific training for the 15C and 155 series aviators, it will include four weeks of ACS System
training. Students will be trained on the specifics of the ACS mission profiles and limited
training on how to correct malfunctions in the on-board equipment in the event there are no
operators or maintainers on board. PM will provide the required aircrafts for the hands-on
training and flights.
c. CATS Unit/Sustainment Training Strategy (Warfighter). Unit commanders will
apply CATS to identify, manage, and program training requirements for ACS personnel. Unit
training matrices will further focus on those disciplines the system operators, pilots and
maintainers need to perform the critical tasks required for mission success. Training events,
operator tasks, and maintainer tasks needing training will be based on the unit’s METL, the
trainer’s guide, and Army training materials. Assisting the unit commander will be the Training
Support Package developed for the NET, that will be left behind after fielding, virtual simulators,
DL, and the IEWTPT. Mission proficiency will be evaluated through the CATS training
matrices. Crew training will be incorporated into unit FTX. Sustainment training will be
accomplished through the use of virtual simulators, embedded training, and the IEWTPT.
d. Digital training support at USAIC&FH. The training strategy outlined below supports
the OPORD 00-01 USAIC Transformation USAIC&FH 01 Aug 2000 requirement to train
soldiers at USAIC&FH in a digital environment. It accomplishes this by using an overarching
constructive simulation that drives the scenarios that stimulate each maintainer workstation
through the TSA and as provided to the TSA by the Technical Control Cell (TCC).
e. Embedded Training. The embedded training model under study includes contextsensitive help files, tutorials, situational scenarios and simulations, and interactive electronic
technical manuals (IETM) for use in training and maintaining the system. The IETM will
include specific instructions on the system operation and maintenance, with hyperlinks to related
topics. The requirements for IEWTPT compatibility will be built into the system. A TSA will
be developed for the IEWTPT. The TSA will stimulate the ACS payloads, based on the virtual
scenario from the IEWTPT and provided through the TCC. The PM-ACS is responsible for
funding this development.
f. Distance Learning. The materiel developer will create and field the DL packages that
involve system-specific upgrades and changes in payloads, pre-planned product improvements,
and quick reaction capabilities. The materiel developer will develop a TSA interface that is in
compliance with the scenario-driven training of the IEWTPT. The materiel developer will
develop ICBT programs for the operator, unit level maintainer, and direct support maintainer of
the ACS System. The ICBT programs will be based on task and skill analysis of the ACS
System.
6
g. Reserve Component Training. No Reserve Component unit is expected to receive an
ACS system. If a Reserve unit wishes its soldiers to receive mission analyst training, they must
coordinate directly with the appropriate MACOM for availability of training. Training will still
be given to Active Component unit personnel first. Inclusion of Reserve personnel will be
strictly at the discretion of the ACS unit commander. Funding for this training must come from
the Reserve unit.
h. IKPT. The materiel developer will present the IKPT to selected individuals from
USAIC&FH that will compose the NET Team (NETT), and NSTO. NSTO certifies and
validates the training and all training related materials used for the NETs. Attendees at the
contractor’s subsystem and mission analyst training will include NETT instructors, Intelligence
Center NSTO evaluators for both imagery and signals intelligence training, and instructors from
the USAIC&FH schoolhouse for the 33W MOS.
i. Doctrine and Tactics Training (DTT). The USAIC&FH NSTO will develop a
complete and comprehensive package to be presented to the gaining unit’s command, staff, and
operational personnel. DTT will be presented at the same time NET is conducted. This training
will be in the form of a slide briefing in digital form. The DTT will include concepts of
operation, mission planning, employment, capabilities, and limitations of ACS on the battlefield.
This training will provide the commander and staff with detailed knowledge of the ACS system
and enable them to effectively incorporate the new capability into the unit’s operational plan.
Copies of the DTT package will be left with the unit for incorporation into their training
programs, and to assist in briefing supported commanders. The doctrine and tactics will also be
incorporated into the appropriate doctrinal FMs and the battlefield virtual simulation-training
base to ensure continuity throughout the Army.
j. Test Training. US Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) will conduct system
integration and system acceptance testing at the contractor’s system integration facility and at
other locations as directed. Operational tests and assessments will be conducted against live or
simulated threat targets as determined by ATEC. Participants/test players in these tests will be
military personnel from the gaining unit, trained in the IKPT and certified by the Intelligence
Center training evaluators. Test training will concentrate on the performance measures required
by the test plan. Intelligence Center evaluators, CECOM NET, and contractor representatives
will monitor all tests training. The philosophy of test training will be to qualify the test players
at a level that allows the test to concentrate on evaluating system performance, functionality,
suitability, and reliability without operator error becoming a factor. All formal developmental
and operational testing will require a TTSP. The TTSP will include a copy of this STRAP, a
training certification plan, training evaluation checklists for each block of instruction, target
audience descriptions of each MOS involved in the test, training schedules, program of
instruction, training material outline, and copies of each lesson plan used for the training.
Results generated from the training certification plan and training evaluation checklists will be
used to certify each individual trainee and then serve as justification for a go/no go decision on
the operational test readiness statement.
7. Training Products. ACS system will be taught initially utilizing the software-based virtual
simulator developed as part of the Modeling and Simulation based acquisition process.
7
Embedded and web-based training products (ET, IEWTPT) will be utilized for sustainment
training. An electronic media version of the DTT will be used for leaders training.

IEWTPT TSA
a. Software virtual simulator for ACS. The ACS virtual simulator will be used at the
institution, during NET, and for unit sustainment training to train soldiers on the operation and
troubleshooting of the different subsystems. This virtual simulator will be software based and
installed in personal computers provided by the PM ACS to the institution for institutional
training of maintainers and to the units for sustainment training. This virtual simulator training
will support the critical tasks identified for each of the subsystems.
b. IEWTPT. The IEWTPT is part of the embedded training package that will be used at
the unit for sustainment training and for newly integrated operators. This package will support
the critical tasks identified for each of the subsystems. The IEWTPT consists of a TSA that will
be an embedded/integral part of the system and interacts with the Warfighter Simulation
Intelligence Module through the TCC. The IEWTPT will stimulate the system sensors through
the TSA and have the ability to create and use unit-specific training scenarios. It will support
collective training through linkage to other IEW systems.
c. DTT. DTT will be in digital form in an electronic portable media. It will provide
training during institutional leaders training, during NET, and for unit sustainment training to
train leaders on the employment and support of the ACS system as a whole. Being in electronic
media format, it will be easily accessible from any personal computer.
d. Embedded Training. ET will provide training at the institution, during NET and the
unit for sustainment training and for newly integrated operators and maintainers to train in the
operation and troubleshooting of the different subsystems.
8. Training Support.
a. Distance Learning. Sustainment training will emphasize DL. This requires the units to
have access to personal computers, which will be used as training tools for all training packages
generated by the materiel developer. These packages will be in the form of electronic portable
media, and will include any procedural or doctrinal changes, and any upgrades or other changes
to the training. The materiel developer creates and fields the DL packages that involve systemspecific upgrades and changes in payloads, pre-planned product improvements, and quick
reaction capabilities. All DL products will comply with the DL standards put forth by the
8
Director of Training Development, USAIC&FH. Point of contact for these standards is Mrs.
Ginarae Wise from the Distance Learning Office (dlo@hua.army.mil).
b. Facilities. The system itself will be used for training of the operators through the
embedded training package and the IEWTPT required in the ORD.
c. Training Issues at Risk. The maintainers’ training is dependent on the virtual simulator
to be developed and installed by the contractor. Student’s clearance and/or flight physical
requirements could slow their integration to the training. The hardware required to support the
training at the schoolhouse and the units is dependent on the availability of funds to acquire it.
9. Post-Fielding Training Effectiveness Analysis. The Office of the Registrar must receive
feedback from the users to ensure the training products produced and the students trained meet
the user’s needs. Feedback will assist USAIC&FH in correcting training deficiencies, and will
provide information that may affect the next generation of equipment or product improvements.
A PFTEA conducted one year after the fielding of the system will solicit feedback. Field training
exercise results and/or operational experiences from the users will be used in addition to
institutional training evaluation data. Upon completion of a PFTEA, appropriate action will be
taken to update/revise training courses and training materials. The PFTEA team will provide
feedback to the users on findings and actions taken by USAIC&FH to correct identified
deficiencies.

1. INDIVIDUAL TRAINING
a. Strategy (How individual skills will be sustained). A contractor team will provide IKP training
prior to the fielding of ACS and unit NET training during the fielding of ACS. The NET team will also
provide distributed (leave-behind) training packages containing programs of instruction, lesson plans,
trainee guides, technical manuals, software user manuals, and other training materials to the unit for
further unit-level training. PM ACS will develop and provide the units with embedded training
equipment and virtual simulators that will cover specific training for all the MOS that operate the
system. The lessons will be based on the Critical Task List for the system. Any upgrades and/or
changes to the system will be covered through exportable training packages to the embedded training.
The sustainment training will also rely heavily on the IEWTPT that will be designed into the system.

ACS/GRVII STRAP, ANNEX E
RESOURCE SUMMARY
1. Facilities Requirements. Current GRCS maintainer training facilities and the
operators GRCS introductory training are expected to be insufficient to meet system
requirements. The facilities must be modified to accommodate the installation of the softwarebased trainer in at least 17 positions or training devices for the maintainer’s course. The U.S.
Army will perform actual modification of facilities as required. The Directorate of Engineering
and Housing will perform or contract for facility modifications.

2. Additional Equipment Requirements. The Materiel developer is responsible for
providing the virtual simulator and corresponding workstations required. The present pilots’
SEMA course trains only the C-12 aircraft used in GRCS. The selected aircraft for ACS will
have to be trained in the SEMA course, as this system will substitute GRCS. No additional
facilities are needed for this course.

TADSS REQUIREMENTS
1. ET. The embedded training package is the responsibility of the materiel developer. The
package design will be part of the basic system and proceed concurrently with the system
development. This training package will be based in tasks and skill analysis of the ACS system.
It will address Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP) and changes in the unit’s doctrine and
tactics resulting from the ACS fielding. It will address individual, crew, and small unit
(squad/platoon) collective tasks that can be performed in both garrison and field environment. It
will include an Interactive Electronic Technical Manual for the ACS system, with instructions on
operation and maintenance of the system, hyperlinked to related topics. It will be used for
institutional training for the maintainers as well as NET and at the unit for training of new
personnel and refresher/sustainment training for trained personnel. It will be a multi-media
training and help program that can be resident on the system or loaded into desktop computers
for garrison training. This package will facilitate and quicken maintenance at the unit and Direct
Support level as well as make a rapid access reference for operator functions. The materiel
developer will use authoring system software to develop upgrade, exportable packages to allow
the institutional and unit trainers to keep the training programs up to date as required.
2. TSA for the IEWTPT. The materiel developer will develop a Target Signature Array
(TSA) for the ACS system that will interface with the IEWTPT. This TSA will provide the
capability to conduct operator training in both institutional and unit sustainment training
environments. The TSA will be an embedded/integral part of the system and interacts with the
Warfighter Simulation Intelligence Module. The TSA will stimulate the system and have the
ability to create and use unit-specific training scenarios. It will support collective training
through linkage to other Intelligence and Electronic Warfare systems.
3. Virtual Simulator. The ACS acquisition will be a Simulation Based Acquisition.
Extensive use of models and simulations is planned through the lifecycle of ACS. The materiel
developer will perform the detailed design and construction of a virtual ACS prototype during
Phase II of the planned acquisition. This prototype will be developed into a very detailed system
that will perform all the capabilities of the final product. This system will be utilized as a virtual
simulator for NET and a copy will be provided to the schoolhouse for institutional training.
4. DTT. New Systems Training Office will create a Doctrine Tactics and Training package
in electronic media format. It will be used as a training tool for NET and sustainment training
for both operators and leaders at the units. It will include how ACS is incorporated to actual MI
doctrine and how the system supports known or anticipated Army missions.
5. TTSP. The training proponent develops, approves, and provides the TTSP to the Army
operational tester for use in evaluation of new system training. The TTSP outlines the method
and procedures to evaluate and certify individual and collective pretest training (who, where, and
how training is to be certified). The TTSP includes the training for system operation, doctrine,
tactics, and maintenance.
