26 October 2021 ATP 3-09.12 C-1 Appendix C Embedded Training This appendix provides a brief overview of embedded training procedures. It also provides instructions on how to develop and implement scenarios. APPLICATION OVERVIEW C-1. Embedded training are off-line, separate computer programs that function with the WLR's existing operational programs to allow the system to be used in a training mode. These off-line training programs provide the operator with realistic operating scenarios for the purpose of evaluating and improving proficiency. The scenarios include real-time simulation of hostile and friendly weapons fire. C-2. Embedded training increases the radar operator's ability to process targets and communicate with other net subscribers. It allows radar operators to perform all normal mission processing functions. However, when the simulation is running, the WLR will not radiate when the radiate switch lamp is pressed. Embedded training allows the section chief to develop scenarios that present radar operators with a high density of hostile and friendly targets and conduct real or simulated communications with other net subscribers. SECTION AND PLATOON TRAINING C-3. Embedded training provides a vehicle for training a WLR section or an entire platoon in either a garrison or a field environment. The system's ability to simulate digital communications or communicate with actual tactical systems makes this possible. An individual section can train by itself and the scenario will replicate all digital communications. The section can send their acquisitions to a FSE, which provides the opportunity to train the TPS and targeting team members while providing realistic training for all WLR operators. GUNNERY TEAM TRAINING C-4. The entire gunnery team can benefit from the use of embedded training during rehearsals, before the conduct of actual operations, or during CP exercises, live-fire training, and maneuver exercises. These programs allow the development of scenarios that reflect the actual tactical situation or exercise event list. This facilitates training of the entire gunnery team and provides the capability to conduct FS and technical rehearsals for actual situations. SCENARIO DEVELOPMENT C-5. The common steps for developing training using embedded training are: Step 1. Determine training goals (mission requirements for the exercise). These should include: Mission-essential task list requirements. Mission training plan requirements. Step 2. Analyze resources. Step 3. Establish RDO data from the commander's targeting criteria in the operations order. Step 4.Identify simulation targets to be used on the basis of the scenario and targeting criteria. Step 5. Develop a plan for updating and changing the tactical situation and mission. Step 6. Develop the scenario target tables using the detailed procedures for selecting and loading target data into the embedded training.
