The Joint Simulation Environment (JSE) is a software acquisition program, originally developed by the US Navy for F-35 testing, and is now an Air Force program of record. Its purpose is to create a digital test and training range for 4th, 5th, and 6th generation aircraft. The program's goals are to continuously deliver the core software, integrate high-fidelity simulator training systems, and field the capability at designated sites.
The JSE Program requires a contractor to manage training and product support at its Joint Integrated Test and Training Centers (JITTCs), currently located at Nellis AFB, NV, and Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, AK, with the potential for future expansion. These sites will house a mix of JSE and non-JSE compliant training systems from various manufacturers, all supported by commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components. The facilities will feature server farms, complex audio/visual systems for mission briefings, and will operate on secure networks up to the TS/SCI and SAP levels. Ultimately, JSE will provide warfighters with a secure virtual battlespace to train for future conflicts.
