What is “DSTATS”?
The Digital Systems Test and Training Simulator or DSTATS is a menu-driven tactical message and communications simulation device. Users interactively receive/transmit tactical data messages in a one-on-one format or in user developed scenarios. The scenarios are time oriented, event oriented, or a mixture of both. This allows field artillery fire support units, both active Army and the National Guard, to train their operators and crews by repeatedly exercising realistic interoperability scenarios. DSTATS simulates the tactical systems not readily available to the student. This results in more realistic, quality training at a significantly reduced cost than actual field exercises. Fast Fact During World War II, 18 Army National Guard divisions saw combat and were split between the Pacific and European theatres.
