Live Virtual Constructive (LVC) Considerations

Interesting aspect of LVC is that definitions can vary widely, continuing to evolve. How someone considers LVC often shows a lot about the individual than the concept.

For NPS students: what do you consider to be great examples of Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) for your professional community? For your modeling and simulation areas of interest? This interesting question broadens and deepens steadily as capabilities make progress.

Live

  1. Integrated Training Exercise (ITX) at 29 Palms, California
  2. Artillery Live Fire Shoot (Any time our Marines are allowed to actually fire their respective weapon systems)
  3. MEU Amphibious Landing Beach Operations Group
  4. Any "live fire" attack, in training
  5. Infantry Immersion Trainer (IIT)
  6. Cyber training: red vs. blue team
  7. (Your Example Here)

Virtual

  1. Aircraft simulator
  2. Supporting Arms Virtual Trainer (SAVT)
  3. Convoy Simulator
  4. Cyber education and training facility in a simulated environment
  5. Small Arms fire simulator (i.e AGSHP (germany))
  6. (Your Example Here)

Constructive

  1. MTWAS
  2. Combat XXI (Never used constructive simulations during my time in the fleet "Chris C.")
  3. Joint Conflict and Tactical Simulation
  4. Joint Deployment Logistics Model (JDLM)
  5. (Your Example Here)
