Operational Test and Training Infrastructure Support
The DoD acquisition pipeline can be inflexible, slow-to-adapt, and too often slows progress for the Warfighter. At RCG, we stand out as an experienced team of SMEs and Software Engineers, providing innovative solutions that can slice through the red tape of acquisition bureaucracy. Our experts are well-versed in all facets of OTTI requirements, including Model and Simulation, Live-Virtual-Constructive requirements and methodologies, training range infrastructure, and aggressor support. RCG’s approach is rooted in an OTTI ethos that seeks to break down the barriers of aging, archaic methodologies.
“Accelerate change, or lose” – General Charles Q. Brown, Air Force Chief of Staff.
We believe that the DoD needs to move beyond traditional concepts such as targeting “shooters” and instead focus on targeting critical vulnerabilities within a Pacing Threat’s kill web. We know this because we have the experts that are teaching the next generation of military leaders. The warfighter doesn’t need a newer/better piece of metal to shoot a simulated missile or drop a simulated bomb at. The warfighter needs a way to practice like they’ll play in combat - by integrating the exquisite capabilities that will be at their disposal on Night One when they train.
At RCG, we understand the complexities of solving OTTI improvement problems for the DoD and our team of SMEs and Software Engineers provide a forward-thinking approach to combat the acquisition process that hinders progress.

Summary:
RCG supported the SLATE Advanced Technology Demonstration program merging encrypted synthetic data from virtual (simulator) platforms and constructive sources (i.e., computer generated) with organically derived sensor information in operational aircraft.
“The SLATE pod cleverly replicates every sensor the host aircraft has, and the magic is that the LVC processor tells the jet what to believe it is seeing. That early ACMI pod is so much more than a telemetry tracking system now. It knows there’s an F-16 out there guising as a J-20. The mission system also offers a library of repeatable missions — so crews can repeat them and get better.”
