IAT -- Education & Training -- University XXI
. The current focus is to provide digitization research in support of the development of a digital battle staff trainer for Army battle staffs using the new Force XXI digital C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) systems, collectively called the Army Battle Command System, or ABCS.. This digitization research effort, itself named University XXI, is a joint effort between the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University, and brings to the Army two world-class academic organizations with applied research in state-of-the-art software methodologies pertaining to software agent technology, knowledge representation, and modeling and simulation.. Sponsoring agencies include the Army Digitization Office (ADO), the Simulations, Training, and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM), the National Simulations Center (NSC), and the Central Technical Support Facility (CTSF) at Fort Hood, Texas.
