Cole Engineering Services is seeking highly motivated candidates to support software development activities for an emerging simulation and training capability for the United States Army. The candidate will be part of a team responsible for establishing a software framework to connect the Army's new Synthetic Training Environment (STE) to the U.S. military's current and future live tactical Mission Command Information Systems (MCIS). This program will design, develop, test, manage, document, and deliver a persistent connection allowing two-way, network-centric linkages between the STE entities and the live MCIS computers utilized by U.S Army Soldiers. The STE to MCIS connection will provide the interoperability and components to retrieve, collect, and exchange data in real time enabling a realistic real-time representation of a Common Operational Picture (COP) of the shared virtual and live battlespace. This level of operational integration of multiple MCIS systems will allow units to train across the full spectrum of current and future conflicts encountered by the U.S. Army. The STE to MCIS software connection architecture will both create and reacts to tactical messaging information traffic being sent between the virtual units/entities contained within the STE and the live MCIS. Current design architecture will support tactical messaging for Location, Situational Awareness (SA), Indirect Fire Missions (IDF), Aviation Air Defense, and Operation Graphic Overlays. With all aspects of tactical messaging seamlessly integrated U.S. Army units will be able to train effectively from the Platoon level all the way up to a full Brigade Combat Team (BCT) with data provided by this system supporting realistic mission rehearsal training capabilities.
