The Army is moving forward with new contract awards for prototyping the Department of Defense\u2019s cyber training platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Persistent Cyber Training Environment (PCTE)<\/a> will allow cyberwarriors to plug in either in person or remotely for individual and collective training, as well as mission rehearsal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cyber forces currently lack a robust training environment similar to what forces in the physical world enjoy, a common parallel being the Army\u2019s combat training centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army is procuring the system on behalf of U.S. Cyber Command and all the service cyber components. In doing so, the Army has decided to employ an incremental approach to procure each successive build as to inform the final solution requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
