HOHENFELS TRAINING AREA, Germany \u2013 The Joint Multinational Readiness Center (JMRC) has been training its Observer, Controller\/Trainers (OC\/T) in new technologies to keep its world-class training ready for the future fight.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The OC\/Ts from the nine \u201ccritter\u201d teams are being trained in evolving tasks and technologies such as Maven, electronic warfare (EW), unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), and integrated tactical network (ITN).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis OC\/T recertification training is an opportunity for the OC\/Ts to become proficient on some tasks that are constantly changing and new,\u201d said Maj. Dustin Allen, deputy operations for JMRC. \u201cIt\u2019s to meet higher headquarters\u2019 intents of knowing new technologies so that we can better facilitate the rotational units as they come through \u2018the Box\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One of the systems that the OC\/Ts are training on is the Maven Smart System. The Maven Smart System is the Department of Defense\u2019s most prominent artificial intelligence capability. Designed to process drone imagery and full-motion video, Maven integrates sensors with artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance battlefield awareness and support operations such as targeting, logistics planning and predicting supply requirements for deployed Soldiers.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaven is something that is near and dear to (U.S. Army Europe and Africa\u2019s) heart,\u201d said Allen. \u201cWe are trying to incorporate it into our daily battle rhythms, so that the critter teams are well versed in it. We also want to be able to teach the rotational units that come through that aren\u2019t familiar with the system and get them better with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

OC\/Ts have also been working with UAS. UAS training develops Soldiers\u2019 abilities to operate and employ aerial systems in support of reconnaissance, intelligence collection, and mission planning, helping to facilitate the combined arms fight on the ground.<\/p>\n

\u201cUAS is a big push, especially in past rotations where we have seen a massive increase in UAS capabilities on the battlefield,\u201d said Allen. \u201cOC\/Ts are going to have their own UAS so that they can send a drone up and inject it there, and watch the rotational units\u2019 UAS.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another system that has been seen on the battlefield that OC\/Ts are being trained on is EW. EW enhances commanders\u2019 abilities to detect, disrupt and protect against enemy electromagnetic capabilities, enabling freedom-of-action across the battlefield.<\/p>\n

\u201cBig in current warfare is the introduction of electronic warfare,\u201d said Allen. \u201cDuring this time, we are giving the OC\/Ts the opportunity to see and become familiar with the vastly growing EW capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The last system that the OC\/Ts are being trained on is the ITN. ITN delivers secure, resilient and expeditionary communications that connect Soldiers, platforms and command posts across the battlefield. ITN is designed to operate in contested and degraded environments, and enable timely data sharing and mission command to support multi-domain operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can interconnect the radios that we use for our communications network across Hohenfels and JMRC, so we can communicate more clearly across the box,\u201d said Allen.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur OC\/Ts are already world-class,\u201d said Allen. \u201cThis training can help make them even better and have more systems that they are proficient in. We\u2019re really going to see all this hard work they are putting in, be used in the next Combine Resolve we host, and I\u2019m excited to see them use all these new systems we have.\u201d<\/p>\n
