The Army is working to develop new simulation technology that will replace the Instrumentable-Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System, service officials announced in March.
The Army plans to ditch I-MILES which simulates the firing capabilities and vulnerabilities of dismounted troops, tactical vehicles and combat vehicles during training for a new 3D training tool in the coming years, said Maj. Gen. Maria Gervais, director of the synthetic training environment cross-functional team under Army Futures Command.
The synthetic training environment, or STE, is a training and mission rehearsal tool that brings together live, virtual, constructive and gaming environments to improve soldier and unit readiness.

WASHINGTON: The Army is asking industry if it can accelerate delivery of a new scout drone, FTUAS, to replace the aging RQ-7 shadow after a successful year of field tests of four competing prototypes, culminating in a rainy-day “rodeo” at Fort Benning.
It was “a great infantryman day, a cold, rainy day where we couldn’t have launched the Shadow in that weather,” Col. Scott Anderson, project manager for drones, said. “All those systems launched and flew really spectacularly in that kind of weather and got great feedback from the soldiers.

The Army is looking for an electric light reconnaissance vehicle for scouts. (Stephen Baack/Army) Army scout teams may have their own version of a battlefield Tesla to do forward reconnaissance, as more details emerge about what the service wants from a potential electric light reconnaissance vehicle. The Army posted a “market survey” for such a vehicle in November. While specifics of what they’ll go after are still under review, the broad strokes were shared during the Maneuver Capabilities Development and Integration Directorate’s annual industry days conference out of the Maneuver Center of Excellence at Fort Benning, Georgia, on April 7.
