Battle Force Tactical Trainer, or BFTT, (Navy designation AN/USQ-46) is a highly flexible, interactive single ship, group, or force level tactical combat system trainer. The purpose of BFTT is to "provide training to enhance naval combat readiness." BFTT actually wraps around the ships combat system to provide a comprehensive and coordinated training environment.
BFFT simulates actual combat scenarios for the training of the operators of most current shipboard combat systems including Aegis and the newly introduced SSDS. BFTT is subdivided into different components, each with its own specific function that contribute to the overall operation of the system.
The BFTT Operator Processing Console (BOPC) provides a human machine interface to the rest of BFTT. The BOPC is used to create scenarios which vary in location, environmentals (e.g. sea state, weather), contacts, functions and operations by using a monitor, keyboard, and trackball.
BFTT uses the current DoD standard Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) interface, and is evolving to the newer High Level Architecture (HLA). The system connects to other ships, Joint Forces, and Coalition Forces for large scale force level training events via the Navy Continuous Training Environment (NCTE).
