14. The JSIL Trainer Advantage
All Army Trainers accredited
Code re-used
Terrain & models developed in-house
Scenarios developed in-house
All Army Trainers Accredited: by U.S. Army Aviation Directorate of Simulation (DOS).
Code Re-Use: Current UAS programs benefit from the common components of MUSE/AFSERS used across all JSIL DoD trainer platforms.
Terrain & Models are developed in-house: the JSIL team is capable of rapidly producing geo-specific terrain databases for anywhere in the world with a robust current library of terrain and articulating models, with supporting 711th HPW – AFRL human animations.
Developed in-house, ViPRS provides capability for rapidly developing and delivering high fidelity tactical scenarios to support Warfighter training requirements.

15. High-fidelity airfields (for taxi / takeoff / landing)

16. Emulators
Complete hardware, software, network, operational equivalent to the Production Shelter
Identical information assurance posture and boundaries

28. Persistent Close Air Support & Minotaur Integration
PCAS
Minotaur
DARPA-funded proof-of-concept
PCAS shortens 60-minute CAS kill-chain to 5 minutes
Talk between JTAC and pilot/operator
Achieved with 2 tablets
John Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab
Provides Multi-INT capabilities for
Multi-platform
Multi-sensor
DARPA funded demonstration/initial-proof-of-concept. If approved for further development the final result would be a seamless integration of PCAS and Minotaur capabilities with the Gray Eagle UAS for SOCOM activities.
PCAS – Persistent Close Air Support. Is a DARPA project, with Raytheon, that shortens the ~ 60-minute CAS “kill-chain” to ~ 5 minutes by facilitating direct SA sharing and Comms between a JTAC and a Aircraft pilot/Operator. This is achieved via two tablet devices, loaded with SA and engagement SW, connected thru Maingate Radios using Raytheon’s Engagement Management System’s (EMS) token
management system.
Minotaur – Is a John Hopkins University’s (JHU) Applied Physics Lab (APL) product that provides Multi-INT Capabilities for Real-Time Multi-Platform, Multi-Sensor ISR Operations, both Maritime and Overland. The capabilities include SIGINT lob determination; FMV Geo-registration; Precision Cross-Cue; and Video Moving Target Indicators (MTI) with detection, tracking, and classification of vehicles and walkers in full-motion video, including through stoppages and obscurations.
