Space operations boss wants more virtual simulations to boost training

The Space Force wants better virtual training simulations that mimic real-life threats to better hone guardians’ skills, a top defense official said.

“We don't have the emulation capability for the threat and the simulation capability across units to allow us to train at the high fidelity levels that we will need to,” Lt. Gen. David Miller, commander of Space Operations Command, said during a Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies virtual event Monday. “I'll be honest …much of that training will likely be very sensitive, and we would not want to expose that in a live-fly arena. So it's going to probably have to be virtual.”

The Space Force began the “commit” phase of its force readiness framework, called the Space Force Generation model, on July 1. The framework is split into three parts: “prepare” for 21 days, “ready” for 42 days, and “commit” for 10
