The GTS is a transportable tactical training and simulation system, designed to create live operational Link 11, Link 16, situational awareness data link (SADL) and tactical targeting network technology (TTNT) networks from the ground to prepare military air operations/flight squadrons for real-time combat missions.

Built upon TCG’s battlefield operations support system (BOSS), the system can generate and edit training scenarios while receiving live data link traffic from the network, and will offer a quick recording analysis tool to support live air-to-air combat training, thereby improving live ops and de-brief mission analysis.

The contract’s delivery schedule has not been disclosed by the company.
