Distributed Mission operations Network (DMON) 2.0

OPE installations have been successfully accomplished to date; during FY23, SCARS plans to deliver an additional 45 OPE to multiple sites.

Achieving the OTI 2035 Flight Plan vision will require continued focus on improving the training environment. As one of many critical OTI lines of effort, SCARS brings an innovative approach to efficiently and effectively help turn that vision into reality.

Program Manager: Mr. Johnny Clark johnny.clark.1@us.af.mil (ARCNet), ARCNet Coral, the Hurlburt Training and Exercise Network, the Distributed Mission Operations Center (DMOC), and the Mobility Air Forces Distributed Training Center Network. Over the last fiscal year, these sites conducted 4,147 training events totaling over 16,000 training hours over the DMON.

During the last year, the DMON program has added, two Air National Guard F-16 CM Mission Training Centers (MTCs) locations, five Joint Terminal Control Training and Rehearsal Systems (JTC TRS). Simulator Common Architecture Requirements and Standards (SCARS) Security Operations Center (SOC), two Development Test Network (DTN), one HH-60W Combat Rescue Helicopter, one HC-130J, one Ellsworth Range, and one F-15E location to the diverse list of operational training and development sites to the network.

Our current efforts provide the infrastructure and services to support distributed training for the following platforms: A-10 Full Mission Trainers (FMTs), B-1B Weapon System Trainers (WST), a B-2 WST, B-52 WSTs, Control and Reporting Center (CRCs); E-3G Mission Crew Training Systems (MCTS), E-8C MCTS, F-15C MTCs, F-15E MTCs, F-16CM MTCs, F -22 MTCs F-35 FMS, RC-135V/W MCTSs, JTC TRS, MJATs, and DBEARS35 training systems. In addition, there are 15 developmental sites connected to the DMON, which provide the technical support necessary to ensure that the operational sites can effectively train on the network. The DMON is also connected to the Distributed Mission Operations Center (DMOC) at Kirtland AFB, NM, the Combat Air Forces Distributed Training Center (DTC) at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, VA, the Distributed Training Operations Center (DTOC) in Des Moines, IA, the USAFE-AFAFRICA Warrior Center (UAWC) and live ranges such as Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex (JPARC) for Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LCV) training.

The DMON 2.0 program is now entering its twenty third year of delivering global distributed mission training to the warfighter. Northrop Grumman was awarded the DMON 2.0 indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity services contract in June 2013, which was a follow-on to the Distributed Mission Training Operations and Integration contract. The program provides the technical, managerial, and network support services required to ensure that warfighters in geographically-separated simulators can train together in a real-time, synthetic environment on a daily basis.

To satisfy increased user demand, the DMON has been installed to over 100 sites at over 70 separate locations in fiscal year 2022. The DMON connects to other locations and sites through network-to-network connections with the Air Reserve Component Network
