The U.S. Army’s Program Executive Office Simulation, Training and Instrumentation, or PEO STRI, has conducted an experiment on the Next Generation Constructive during Scarlet Dragon 25-3 held from Aug. 11 to 15, at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
PEO STRI said Thursday it collaborated with Synthetic Training Environment Cross Functional Team, XVIII Airborne Corps, Fort Bragg, North Carolina Mission Training Complex, and industry partners Palantir Technologies and Battle Road Digital to conduct the experiment to test the new cloud-based training architecture.
Advancing Warfighter Training Capabilities
The experiment, intended to confirm the feasibility of the NGC system before a full contract award, validated Palantir’s Foundry platform as the data fabric for the proposed system. It also demonstrated the interface between Battle Road Digital’s Atom Engine and Foundry’s Maven Smart System.
The test unexpectedly activated the command and control information system team awareness kit using Atom Engine data through the Foundry interface, showcasing the NGC architecture’s adaptability. The initial integration confirmed that the systems could share data to boost situational awareness during training exercises.
According to Lt. Col. Thane Keller, lead capability developer for NGC, the team will focus on intelligence and fires for Scarlet Dragon 26-1 as they continue to integrate the platforms and mature capabilities to drive multi-domain operations training and readiness.
