- Description
- The NAVAIR Orlando Training Systems Division (NOTSD) requires design, development, fabrication, installation, and testing of a Virginia Class Submarine (VSSN) Ship Control Maintenance Trainer (VSCMT), to be delivered to NAVSUBSCOL, New London, CT. The VSSN Ship Control System (SCS) provides for the control of the ship's depth, trim angle, and heading from the Ship Control Station located in the Command and Control Center (CACC). The system concept for the required training is to use the operational DMAC hardware and software in conjunction with an Interactive Student Workstation. This will be used in combination with the operational Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM) to provide detailed instruction on SCS maintenance procedures and DMAC operation down to the Line Replaceable Unit (LRU). This arrangement will be used in lieu of the conventional approach of inserting and finding faults in actual tactical equipment. The instructor at the IOS will accomplish fault selection for the six student stations. The VSCMT system design is based on the following components: 1. Instructor Operator Station (IOS); 2. Interactive Student Workstation to interface with the Instructor Station and to simulate the VSSN RIC's functions, with a minimum of 100 simulated SCS system faults, total estimated SLOC for Ship Control System, including DMAC is approximately 55,000; 3. Diagnostic Maintenance Computer (DMAC); 4. IETM. Items 2, 3, and 4 constitute a Student Station (SS). The VSCMT trainer will have six SSs. The scope of the DMAC Build 7 code and unit test effort is estimated to be 27,500 SLOC at completion. Build 7 development and delivery has been subdivided into Block 0 and Block 1 deliverables. Block 0 is due to be complete by August 15, 2003. Block 1 is forecast to be complete in March 2004. Block 0 appears to contain most of the DMAC functionality. But, Block 1 contains "functionality improvements" which may or may not affect DMAC usage as a troubleshooting tool and affect its ability to interface to the VSCMT. Respondents are requested to describe their capability to successfully accomplish this task within 18 months of contract award. The description should include current access to non-developmental items that will shorten the design and development time required. Respondents should address their capability to acquire tactical SCS, DMAC and IETM data and demonstrate that the methods are workable and realistic. Respondents should address their capability to develop trainer software concurrent with the development plan for the Tactical DMAC software. Respondents should include any similar trainers developed and successfully completed in the last ten years. Include the trainer name; installation location by company/base, city, state, and POC; contract start and end dates; and whether any additional work was received from the same source. Respondents should indicate small (under 750 employees) or small/disadvantaged status. This announcement is for market research purposes only. The Government does not intend to pay for information received. Submissions should be made in writing or via e-mail only.
