The RVCT includes aviation platforms (RVCT-A), ground platforms (RVCT-G), dismounted infantry collective maneuver training, collective gunnery training, and mission rehearsal capability. The RVCT is a mobile, transportable, modular, and scalable training capability with the minimum hardware necessary to represent form, fit, and function for Soldiers to execute collective tasks. RVCT is the first major production effort being fielded out of the Army\u2019s Synthetic Training Environment (STE) modernization priority.<\/p>\n
\u201cTeam CESI continues to take great pride in developing and delivering systems that are easy for our Soldiers to use, and RVCT has been a tremendous example of working collaboratively with our stakeholders,\u201d said Devin Lyders, CESI Senior Vice President, Advanced Training Systems. \u201cWe place the Soldier at the center of modernization by conducting multiple formal Soldier Touch Points and more than 100 informal feedback sessions with the direct platform experts, enabling us to find the sweet spot of fidelity with virtualization, form\/fit\/function, and training realism.\u201d<\/p>\n
Team CESI\u2019s RVCT solution is built upon a modular hardware architecture, which allows RVCT to replicate U.S. Army ground and air vehicles through common configuration items. The combination of high-fidelity physical and virtual control interfaces utilizes real-world system hardware and immerses the Soldier via Virtual and Augmented Reality through the Synthetic Training Environment-Information System (STE-IS) software.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe collective efforts of RVCT stakeholders over the past few years to continue iteratively improving the platforms has been nothing less than a true collaboration success story,\u201d said Eric Carr, CESI\u2019s Program Director. \u201cThanks to the combined agile efforts of the Government, our industry partners, and the CESI\/By Light team, we are able to deliver next-generation immersive virtual training platforms that replicate platform fidelity while delivering realistic collective unit training and mission rehearsal that simulates the complex challenges of the future operational environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Production of the RVCT systems is taking place at By Light\u2019s 125,000-square foot manufacturing facility in Port Orange, FL. Team CESI consists of a robust group of subcontractors and suppliers comprised of nearly 150 teammates and partners who will support the fabrication, integration, and deployment of the RVCT systems.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur entire Team is honored to be chosen to field this critical mission-training capability for the United States Army,\u201d said Bob Donahue, Founder and CEO of By Light, \u201cand we look forward to continuing to support the achievement of the Army\u2019s vision for the greater Synthetic Training Environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
