Parsons Corporation announced on December 16, 2024, a groundbreaking initiative to enhance U.S. Air Force training operations. In collaboration with the University of Southern Mississippi, the Mississippi Air National Guard, and SeaTrac Systems, Parsons integrated its Threat Representative Environment (TReX) emulator onto a remotely operated SeaTrac Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV). This first-of-its-kind demonstration was conducted off the U.S. Gulf of Mexico in November.
Parsons’ TReX threat emulator is designed to simulate threats that military personnel may encounter during real-world missions, utilizing advanced algorithms and real-time data to create dynamic scenarios. During the exercise, this high-fidelity simulation was combined with SeaTrac’s SP-48 USV, targeting airborne systems and communicating with command-and-control centers. The solar-powered, remotely commanded USV can execute missions at sea 24/7, reducing operational costs compared to manned vessels.
This novel milestone helps the U.S. Air Force train as they fight, optimizing training efficacy and providing a cost-effective approach for comprehensive exercises. The innovative solution reduces logistical and personnel costs associated with manned missions while facilitating a high-fidelity simulation environment. This ultimately elevates the United States Air Force's operational readiness and fosters a more comprehensive understanding of multi-domain operations.
