There are currently ten tactical intelligence systems that require TSAs. Interface designs, data formats, and system requirements will be produced during the initial design process and provided to the IEW System Program Managers. The electronic signal and voice communications TSAs have common characteristics and technical challenges that will be explored in the near future. Another challenge is the requirement to net multiple signal processors with simulation data that results in pinpoint locations for precision operations. The Army faces a great challenge in providing this realistic training capability to battle commanders and their staff.
System developers have some tough choices in funding training needs versus operational systems.
