The service has shown an interest in a range of training solutions from individual to battalion levels and plans to award multiple contracts ahead of new programmes set to run from FY2024 to FY2031.

The US Marine Corps (USMC) has announced plans to start new acquisition and modernisation efforts in the next few years to progress ongoing programmes and improve its synthetic training capabilities.

The service has shown interest in platforms, technologies and software solutions to prepare marines from individual to battalion levels. The simulation capabilities will provide training in shooting, performing marksmanship tasks, driving ground platforms, and operating EW and C2 systems.

While the budget of some of those efforts has yet to be defined, contracts will be expected to be awarded, new efforts launched and milestones reached from FY2024 to FY2031.
