In May 2011, the U.S. Army selected FAAC Incorporated to supply its Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED) / Explosive Hazard Defeat Training Simulation Suite. The program designated Virtual Clearance Training Suite (VCTS)—is modular by design and builds on the simulator technology developed for the US Army Operator Driving Simulator (USA ODS) and US Army Common Driver Trainer (CDT) programs. FAAC received a contract modification in May 2014 adding a 5th trailer, two VMMDs, and multiple system upgrades including integration of One SAF 6.0, a One SAF HEMTT Recovery Vehicle, a Buffalo Air Digger and conversion of MPCV & MMPV cabs to a Common Dual Cab (CDC) configuration. Phase 1 modifications to the original 28 Suites are scheduled through September, 2016. FAAC provides interim contractor logistics support as required.

The advanced IOS, multi-net communications, scenario generation system and updated databases ensure the VCTS is the Army’s most configurable and flexible ground simulation training suite. In addition, FAAC designed the VCTS with a modular upgrade/modification capability to meet evolving requirements. FAAC is in Phase 1 of a multi-year upgrade with planned addition of remote controlled vehicles and weapons stations, new sensors, blowers, rollers, and complex IEDs.
