Simulation Operator / Role Player
About The Position
Network Runners is seeking a Simulation Operator/Role Player/ CFFT/VBS3 SIM TECH to support the Fires Center of Excellence (FCoE). The primary systems for this role are the Immersive CFFT III (Call for Fire Trainer III), an immersive simulation system used for training personnel in call-for-fire procedures for indirect fire and close air support, and VBS3 (Virtual Battle Space 3), a combat training simulation that provides a realistic 3D, first-person environment for soldiers to practice combined-arms tasks. The operator tasks for these systems involve setting up, running, and managing simulations to provide realistic military training in a controlled, virtual environment. The contractor operating these systems is responsible for supporting individual and collective training, conducting capability demonstrations, and assisting with new software version testing.
Requirements
- Must have an Active SECRET Clearance
- High school diploma
- Minimum of seven years (7) military or simulation center experience in Fire Support operations and planning
- Minimum one year (1) experience supporting training exercise operating the CFFT III
- Minimum one or more years operating/maintaining an Immersive CFFT III systems (AFSM, UTM, and CASM)
- Minimum one year (1) experience developing and executing functional vignettes for and supporting training exercise and operating the VBS3
Responsibilities
- Support individual and collective training
- Conduct capability demonstrations
- Assist with new software version testing
- Provide comprehensive training support, including hands-on exercises and practical exercises
- Support training for students attending the schools in person ("resident")
- Act as a Subject Matter Expert (SME), incorporating simulations, models, and mission command systems into training
- Assist instructors to revise training materials (Programs of Instruction (POIs), Lesson Plans, Training Support Packages (TSPs)) to fix issues found during simulation exercises
- Develop realistic training scenarios using the mission editor and other tools that meet specific training objectives before a training exercise
- Configure systems by placing entities like vehicles, weapons, and characters into the virtual battlespace and configuring the system's environmental options, such as time, date, weather, and sea states
- Set up networks, ensuring the networked system is correctly configured for multiplayer, distributed exercises
- Launch the scenario and manage it in real-time during a training exercise
- Observe the trainees' actions from any viewpoint and control Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven characters as needed
- Assume the role of various entities within the simulation to increase realism and challenge for the trainees (Role-Playing)
- Operate the system in a "combined/interoperable" mode, where VBS3 training exercises are integrated with other simulation tools
- Modify the scenario in real-time based on trainee performance to apply pressure or adapt the training
- Provide instructors the critique sheets and collect completed critique sheets from the instructors after the training event has concluded
- Capture data of system usage in both Training Support-Materiel Army-wide Tracking System (TS-MATS) and the FCOE SharePoint
- Perform routine system checks, ensuring all software and hardware are functioning correctly
- Test new software versions as required by the contract
- Support capability demonstrations and provide instructions to soldiers on how to effectively use the simulation systems
