Ternion Wins $1.2 Million C2WSPTT Contract from US Air Force 505th Communications Squadron
Huntsville, AL,

May 18, 2010 -
Ternion(r) Corporation, a leading provider of commercial simulation products and services, won a new one-year, $1.2 million contract from the US Air Force 505th Communications Squadron (505 CS) to continue development on the Command and Control Weapon System Part Task Trainer (C2WSPTT), which is based on Ternion's FLAMES(r) Simulation Framework.
"Using FLAMES, Ternion has helped the 505 CS develop an award-winning LVC (live virtual constructive) training simulation," states Mike Cash, Director of Engineering Services and Co-owner, Ternion Corporation. "We're excited to continue work on C2WSPTT and help its deployment spread to even more sites worldwide."
C2WSPTT is an on-demand, single-server, resident modeling and simulation capability that simulates an Air and Space Operations Center (AOC) environment. The 505 CS under the 505th Command and Control Wing developed C2WSPTT with support from Ternion Corporation to provide a low-cost, high-fidelity M&S capability with a small footprint to allow AOC units to conduct in-garrison training without the need for outside agency support.
"FLAMES provides a wide scope of important and valuable tools, which have helped C2WSPTT become a leader in modeling and simulation," states BK Stover, C2WSPTT Project Manager. "It's more than a match for its competitors."
FLAMES supplies a single architecture for constructing air, space, land, sea, human, and environmental models in C2WSPTT. FLAMES' ability to construct models in all operational domains makes it possible to reduce the hardware and manpower requirements to a single system operated by a single controller. Since all models reside on the same platform, only one database is required, and interactive control of the scenario is accomplished through one interface. There is no need for a distributed protocol to share data among disparate systems that require expensive bandwidth. This allows C2WSPTT to be a stand-alone system that can be scheduled on demand. Additionally, FLAMES supports DIS and HLA protocols, so C2WSPTT can interface with other virtual and constructive models in a distributed environment.
C2WSPTT is integrated with the Theater Battle Management Core Systems (TBMCS) and other AOC Weapon System components and is used by USAFAOC crews, the 505th Formal Training Unit (FTU), the 46th Test Squadron (TS), and Air Force Research Laboratories (AFRLs). For this reason, C2WSPTT received the prestigious U.S. Air Force Modeling and Simulation Award in the cross-functional category in 2002, 2005, and 2007.
About FLAMES
FLAMES is a powerful simulation framework that addresses all aspects of constructive simulation development and use, including customizable scenario creation, execution, visualization, and analysis, as well as interfaces to live, virtual, and constructive systems. FLAMES minimizes the amount of software development needed to get a full-featured, working simulation. At the same time, the open, object-oriented architecture of FLAMES provides the flexibility to modify or enhance simulations as necessary to meet specific requirements.
About Ternion Corporation
Since 1989, Ternion Corporation has provided quality commercial simulation products and custom software development and support services to government and commercial organizations worldwide. Ternion is a privately held, employee-owned company located in high-tech Huntsville, Alabama.
