TCTS II enhances training realism, allowing forces to "train like you fight" while safeguarding critical warfighting Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs). It supports scalable training scenarios ranging from individual exercises to large force operations, whether at home stations, deployed locations, or across service, allied, and coalition security boundaries. The system's open Multiple Independent Levels of Security (MILS) architecture and government-held data rights facilitate rapid adaptation to emerging threats and mission requirements, both on range and in deployed environments. With the approval of TCTS II Milestone C in 2021, the program has successfully transitioned into the production phase.

  • TCTS II incorporates advanced systems and algorithms to operate effectively in a GPS degraded or denied environment

Enhanced scalable training capability

Scalable system supports participants from a small squadron to large-force exercise that advances air combat proficiency training while adapting to future training needs

  • TCTS II supports Synthetic Inject to Live (SITL) from day one to more realistically emulate contested/congested environments in tethered and untethered modes
  • Variety of form factors to connect your entire fleet from high-flying fighter aircraft to helicopters, maritime and even ground-based assets
