Project Zussman Mounted Urban Training Complex (MUTC)

Period of Performance October 1996 To May 2002

Contract Number DACA-27-94-C-0010

Dollar Value $3,176,981

 

Project Description The shared goal of the U.S. Armor Center and Louisville, Kentucky division of the Corp of Engineers was to break all the molds for Mounted Urban Combat Training Site (MUCTS) construction. To achieve this, Polyengineering Inc. was given the task of defining and interpreting the high-level organizational goals and objectives of the U.S. Armor Center and developing strategic plans and approaches to meet these objectives. During the time of development, only 2 MUCTS s existed, both of which were inadequately equipped to provide a realistic setting and all sensory stimulus for soldiers training for real urban combat.

 

In developing the strategic plans for a state-of-the-art mock city large enough to host a training exercise for a company/battalion task force with helicopters, armor, infantry and Bradley Fighting Vehicles, Polyengineering s staff traveled to military facilities across the U.S. to gather input about typical challenges troops face while entering and operating in an urban combat environment. The firm s engineers also visited Las Vegas and MGM Studios for ideas on how to represent these challenges using distractions, diversions, sound effects and pyrotechnics.

The main objective was to create a facility for training soldiers in how to survive combat in urban areas that are confusing, chaotic, and foreign by subjecting the troops to extreme levels of physical and psychological stress typically experienced in an actual urban conflict. Polyengineering, Inc. developed approaches utilizing Hollywood special effects and a unique mix of existing and new techniques, materials and equipment. Incorporating design techniques never before used for military training purposes, the mock city s special effects present all the sights and smells of war, including three categories of speaker-driven sound effects simulating riot, uprising, screams and voices in various languages (the language is programmed by the trainer).

 

In developing the strategic plan, Polyengineering s civil engineers planned a number of features designed to maximize the soldier s stress level, such as an exploding, collapsing bridge (which is structurally stable for a tank crossing when not in collapsing mode); hand grenades that shoot out of a hidden passage and drop at a soldier s feet; numerous locations within the compound that can suddenly ignite into flames; a massive automobile explosion; a timed falling utility pole that blocks the roadway and even the smell of a sewer while crawling through the more than 900 linear feet of 48-inch sewer pipe. In planning to maximize the abilities of the range commander to oversee training exercises and create various battlefield scenarios, the training site s command / control / observation facility was designed to be camouflaged in a mock elevated water tower that would provide a 360-degree visual of the entire range. Through the strategic placement of fiber optic video cameras, digital video of the training exercise is sent back to range control and reviewed for safety and After Action Review (AAR) training purposes.

 

To solve the problems of soldier detection, target activation, camera control, and scoring of soldiers during training exercises, Polyengineering s design team chose to incorporate the use of an industrial automation network known as Device Net to control and communicate with targets and sensors on the site. The network uses a specialized cable containing both power and communications wiring. At Zussman MUCTS, the Device Net system is constructed of ten (10) networks, with five (5) personal computers and over 400 I/O modules. The I/O modules were encapsulated into specially designed node boxes to facilitate the interfacing of the networks with up to 2400 targets and sensors. Some of the networks exceeded the length requirements of the cable. In these cases, the designers used fiber optic cable to run over the long distances (over 30 miles of fiber optic cable was used) to power each local station on the site. The MUCTS Device Net system controls eight (8) special effects (falling utility pole, collapsing bridge, three (3) moving cars, three (3) smoke generators, and five (5) flame effects (3 burning cars and 2 burning buildings). These effects are capable of occurring simultaneously. The Device Net system is also used to control cameras on site that only record when sensors indicate activity in the area, which greatly reduces the amount of editing, required by the Range Trainers in preparation for an After Action Review (AAR). The innovative techniques developed, tested and proven for this project will be used in future training sites around the world

Through close collaboration with the client and several military agencies and personnel throughout the United States, the design team at Polyengineering was successful in developing a strategic plan for a state-of-the-art urban training complex that was large enough to host a training exercise for a company / battalion task force with helicopters, armor, infantry and Bradley Fighting Vehicles; versatile enough to pose as a town located virtually anywhere in the world; sustainable enough to run multiple training scenarios/exercises in one day and operate seven days a week; realistic enough to expose our troops to extreme levels of physical and psychological stress typically experienced in actual urban conflict but conducted safely in a controlled environment; capable of giving range command digital video of the entire exercise in real time and on tape for After Action Review; and operationally cost effective and maintainable for years of service. Col. Richard P. Geiser, Directorate of the Armor School at Fort Knox said, This new training facility is a vast improvement over the older methods of urban warfare training. This training facility is one of the best in the world, and we are proud of it.

 

Period of Performance Contract was awarded in October of 1993, which consisted of two separate projects: Wilcox Multi-Purpose Digital Training Range (MPDTR) and Zussman Mounted Urban Training Complex (MUTC). The first order for Zussman MUCT was placed on October 24, 1996. Construction was complete in May 2002.

 

Contract No. DACA-27 94 C-0010, consisted of two separate projects: Wilcox Multipurpose Digital Training Range and Zussman Mounted Urban Training Complex.

Project Zussman Mounted Urban Training Complex (MUTC)

Period of Performance October 1996 To May 2002

Contract Number DACA-27-94-C-0010

Dollar Value $3,176,981

 

Project Description After successful development of the strategic plan for a state-of-the-art Mounted Urban Combat Training Site (MUCTS), Polyengineering Inc. working in collaboration with the U.S. Armor Center and Louisville, Kentucky division of the Corp of Engineers, was given the task of developing alternative technical approaches / methodologies and concepts to meet the objectives and operational requirements for a world-class urban warfare training facility that offers U.S. soldiers a realistic glimpse into what to expect when fighting the enemy in a built-up urban setting. During the strategic planning phase, only two MUCT s existed, both of which were inadequately equipped to provide a realistic setting for soldiers training for real urban combat. The design team used lessons learned in Somalia, Bosnia and Kosovo as research to further develop the concept of a world class military training facility that could pose as a foreign city located virtually anywhere in the world. This facility would be the benchmark for which other military training ranges would be based.

 

The project planning and concept design stage can frequently determine the success of a project, and Zussman MUCTS was no exception. Achieving the owner s objectives meant overcoming many challenges and meeting many requirements. The scope of work and innovative design techniques were accomplished through the efforts of a large and diverse team of individuals, utilizing a broad range of technical applications. Many of the objectives were accomplished through the development of new, untested engineering and design techniques. Other objectives were achieved by utilizing proven Hollywood type special effects and making design modifications to work in a military training application. Active communication between key team members was essential though the duration of the project for increased productivity and efficiency as well as for allowing the project to stay within a tight budget and time allocations.

 

Numerous concepts and alternatives were evaluated and considered in analyzing the most reliable, cost-effective ways to create an urban environment where extreme levels of physical and psychological stress, typically experienced in an actual urban conflict, could be experienced by troops in various scenarios and training exercises.

 

Some of the innovative concepts Polyengineering developed to create an environment emulating the realities of war within a mock city are; a falling utility pole blocking the road, a collapsing bridge, 22 different locations within the compound that can suddenly ignite into flames, a massive automobile explosion, smoke, hand grenades that shoot out of a hidden passage and drop at a soldier s feet and sound effects simulating riot, uprising, screams and voices in various languages. Polyengineering not only developed these concepts but defined the requirements to make these effects capable of occurring simultaneously and making the complex capable of running various training scenarios/exercises in one day and capable of operating 7 days a week.

 

Working in conjunction with a specialized electrical target and instrumentation design team, Polyengineering used a novel concept to solve the problems of soldier detection, target activation, camera control and scoring of soldiers during the exercise. The concept involved the use of an industrial automation network known as Device-Net to control and communicate with targets and sensors on the site. This system controls eight special effects (falling utility pole, collapsing bridge, three moving cars, three smoke generators and five flame effects (3 burning cars and 2 burning buildings) all of which are capable of occurring simultaneously. At Zussman MUCTS, the Device-Net system includes ten networks, five personal computers and over 400 I/O modules. The I/O modules were encapsulated into specially designed node boxes to facilitate the interfacing of the networks with up to 2400 targets and sensors. Some of the networks exceeded the length requirements of the cable. In these cases, the designers used fiber optic cable to run over the long distances (over 30 miles of fiber optic cable was used) to power each local station on the site. The Device Net system is also used to control cameras on site. The cameras only record when sensors indicate activity in the area, which greatly reduces the amount of editing required by the Range Trainers in preparation for an After Action Review (AAR). The innovative techniques developed, tested and proven for this project will be used in future training sites around the world.

Project Zussman Mounted Urban Training Complex (MUTC)

Period of Performance October 1996 To May 2002

Contract Number DACA-27-94-C-0010

Dollar Value $3,176,981

 

Project Description Having designed over twenty-five military training ranges over the last twelve years, Polyengineering Inc. was given the task of designing the Zussman Mounted Urban Combat Training Site located on 26 acres of rocky wilderness in Fort Knox, Kentucky. Polyengineering s multi-disciplined design team translated the concepts for this state-of-the-art mock city into comprehensive, detailed engineering plans, consisting of over 300 30 x 42 drawings and detailed specifications consisting of over 700 duplexed sheets. These plans contained detailed sections for the design and integration of multiple electrical and mechanical systems used to create the special effects and conditions necessary for numerous training scenarios.

 

Our civil engineers used innovative designs in creating a timed falling utility pole that blocks the roadway on demand, an exploding collapsing bridge (which is structurally stable for a tank crossing when not in collapsing mode); more than 900 linear feet of 48-inch sewer pipe; hand grenades that shoot out of a hidden passage and drop at a soldier s feet; 22 different locations within the compound that can suddenly ignite into flames; and a massive automobile explosion.

 

Other key civil engineering design features in this project include: 42 -48 underground trainer/storm drainage pipes equipped to handle smoke and non-smoke training with water filled drop inlets; moving and stationary infantry targets; and moving armor targets.

 

Our electrical engineering design team provided detailed communications plans, Device-Net control system plans, electrical floor plans for all buildings, and electrical and compressed air system plans for targets.

 

Key electrical engineering design features include the specifications for 32,000 linear feet of fiber optic cable, audio cable and UG telephone cable; 10,000 liner feet of Device Net trunk cable for targets and special effects; 357 connectors for target and special effect monitors/operators; 2,500 linear feet simulated aerial telephone system, 1 microwave system for transmitting digital video back to range control; 7 safety cameras with 360 degree pan and tilt (pole mounted); 18 fixed action cameras; 328 speakers; 50 horns; 2 computer video stations for monitoring and recording in real time; fiber optic communications, copper- pair phone lines. Using over 30 miles of fiber optic cable, the city boasts 2,500 computer-controlled targets, sensors and cameras and enough pyrotechnics to simulate real combat.

 

Our design team was very innovative in incorporating numerous safety features to protect our soldiers from injury while navigating the complex. During training exercises, digital video is provided by cameras with 360-degree pan and tilt, which is sent back to range control and reviewed for safety and training purposes. Over 25 safety cameras are in place to constantly provide real time video to Range Control who has emergency kill switch and ventilation devices if needed.

 

F.L. Andrews, Range Manager for the Directorate of Plans, Training and Mobilization for the G-3 Division of the U.S. Armor Center said it best in a letter of commendation, Polyengineering successfully found highly functional, survivable and cost efficient methodologies to meet our unique and demanding needs. Their efforts were always provided ahead of time, even when the time lines were far less than the norm. What supported this tremendously successful venture was the alignment of Polyengineering with the mission we held, instead of just the construction project. This alignment enabled a highly functional partnership with the project personnel from several military agencies. The partners worked toward shared goals, jointly approaching the numerous challenges generated by the project with a linked vision. Then, instead of simply turning over the design to the construction contractor, Polyengineering became a key partner in construction, and now they continue to serve as a partner in the first year of facility operation. Without reservation, Polyengineering soared above what we expected and led us all forward throughout the project.

 

From the outset, the Polyengineering design team aligned itself with the owner s vision for the facility. During the design, construction and even through the first year of use of this project, Polyengineering has partnered with the owners and users to insure the most effective usage for the facility. The Corps of Engineers has requested and been granted permission to distribute copies of the Polyengineering design plans to other military facilities and designers to use as a standard reference for future Mounted Urban Combat Training Sites. This reference is being used as the Army standard in several mounted urban training complexes currently under design

Project Zussman Mounted Urban Training Complex (MUTC)

Period of Performance October 1996 To May 2002

Contract Number DACA-27-94-C-0010

Dollar Value $3,176,981

 

Project Description The Zussman Mounted Urban Combat Training Site designed by Polyengineering, Inc. has proven to be a very effective facility for the training of soldiers in an urban environment. Situated on 26 acres of rocky wilderness at Fort Knox, Kentucky, this state-of-the-art mock city provides the setting for soldiers to get dramatic, hands-on experience needed to effectively fight and win a war on an urban battlefield.

 

Zussman MUCTS was featured in a CNN Presents series on the topic of Urban Warfare and praised by various military officials and war strategists as being the most realistic urban warfare training available for the U.S. military. Most importantly, the company soldiers who actively train at Zussman MUCTS feel the reality of urban warfare. It s like an amusement park, but nobody is laughing and having fun, said Range Manager, Andy Andrews. The soldiers commonly refer to the training course as nasty. The inexperienced soldiers get a hard look into the realities of war through this over-the-top, adrenaline rush of a training exercise, which feels like real life endangering war. This type of hands-on training is vital in their survival during a real urban war.

 

Lt. Col. Paul Jussel, Chief, Doctrine Division ETBB said, There have been few places in our Army where leaders could train in urban terrain conditions. We are changing that at Fort Knox. The Zussman MUCTS will provide an area for leaders from all organizations to practice techniques and procedures between heavy and light forces. It is built with the best special effects available to the Army today. Zussman MUCTS serves as a training ground for as many as 80,000 U.S. soldiers a year.

 

Col. Richard P. Geiser, Directorate of the Armor School at Fort Knox said, This new training facility is a vast improvement over the older methods of urban warfare training. This training facility is one of the best in the world, and we are proud of it.

 

The Zussman MUCTS project was recently awarded the Army Chief of Engineers Special Recognition Award in the 2002 Design and Environmental Awards Program. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and its professional partners created the Chief of Engineers Design and Environmental Awards Program (DEAP) in 1965 to recognize and promote excellence in design achievements. This was the first time in 37 years that this award had been given with the jury panel commenting, [this] was by far the most innovative of the projects submitted.

 

The true test and evaluation of the effectiveness of a Mounted Urban Combat Training Site comes from those who operate it and those who experience the realities this complex represents in warfare in an urban environment. As noted previously from the comments, reviews and awards given, Polyengineering in close collaboration with the client and several military agencies and personnel throughout the United States was successful in designing a world-class urban warfare training facility that offers U.S. soldiers a realistic glimpse into what to expect when fighting in an urban environment.

 

Our client, The Corps of Engineers was so pleased with the final project result they requested and have been granted permission to distribute copies of the Polyengineering design plans to other military facilities and designers to use as a standard reference for future Mounted Urban Combat Training Sites.

Project Zussman Mounted Urban Training Complex (MUTC)

Period of Performance October 1996 To May 2002

Contract Number DACA-27-94-C-0010

Dollar Value $3,176,981

 

Project Description The Zussman Mounted Urban Combat Training Site located on 26 acres of rocky wilderness in Fort Knox, Kentucky is a state-of-the-art mock city with over 2500 computer-controlled targets, sensors, cameras and special effects integrated through-out the entire city for the purpose of exposing troops to extreme levels of physical and psychological stress typically experienced in an actual urban conflict.

 

In planning for the logistics support for the Zussman Mounted Urban Combat Training Site and keeping in mind the long-term realiability and maintainability requirements to keep complex target systems and communications systems functioning reliabily seven days a week, our design engineers designed these systems utilizing compressed air and fiber optic cabling to insure reliable, cost effective operation.

 

Utilizing an industrial automation network known as Device-Net to control and communicate with targets, sensors and cameras, the system is constructed of ten networks, five personal computers, and over 400 I/O modules, which are encapsulated into specially designed node boxes to facilitate interfacing the networks with the targets, sensors and cameras. The MUCTS Device Net system is used to control eight (8) special effects (falling utility pole, collapsing bridge, three (3) moving cars, three (3) smoke generators, and five (5) flame effects (3 burning cars and 2 burning buildings). These effects are capable of occurring simultaneously. The Device Net system is also used to control cameras on site and enables the cameras to only record when sensors indicate activity in the area, which greatly reduces the amount of editing required by the Range Trainers in preparation for an After Action Review (AAR).

 

In order to reduce costs and assure availability, most of the special effects where designed to use off-the-shelf products or supplies that had never been used for military applications. The sustainability of Zussman is remarkable being that the complex can run multiple training scenarios and exercises in one day and can operate 7 days a week. Zussman MUCTS has the operational reliability and maintainability to provide training for as many as 80,000 U.S. soldiers a year. The innovative techniques developed, tested and proven for this project will be used in future training sites around the world

Polyengineering Inc s design team designed the Zussman MUCTS facility with functionality, operational realiability and cost effectiveness being considered in all aspects of the design, operation and maintenance of the facility. The training facilities command / control / observation tower is camouflaged in a mock elevated water tower which allows a 360-degree visual of the entire range and allows commanders to create different urban battlefield conditions through the operation of the facilities s 2500 computer-controlled targets, sensors, cameras and special effects. This level of diversity and adaptability in creating so many battlefield environments in an urban setting has never been achieved before.

 

During the bidding process for the construction phase, the technology component was grossly over budget. Through Polyengineering s previous working relationship with the U.S. Army Aviation & Missile Command in Huntsville, AL, a contract with the U.S. Army Aviation & Missile Command in Huntsville to purchase and install the Device-Net technology system resulted in reducing the costs for the technology component by 50%. To keep within budget constraints, most of the special effects were purchased off-the-shelf, yet used creatively for military applications. The sustainability of Zussman is remarkable being that the complex can run various training scenarios/exercises in one day and can operate 7 days a week.
