- THIS MODIFICATION IS TO CHANGE DATES FOR THE PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS FROM 6 OCT 03 TO SUBMIT FINAL PROPOSED REVISION PROPOSALS NO LATER THAN 4:00 PM, 17 DEC 03. The government wants to clarify under section 3.2 The system must be a complete turnkey operation to include all power cords, cables, and other items to make the system operational. The government?s intent is that we need everything to operate the system without modifying existing facilities or purchasing of new equipment. Under 3.3. System must be able to operate on European or US electrical standards without the use of additional external transformers. The government?s intent is that the system needs to operate on US electrical standards or dual voltage. The European standard was in the event that if the government needed to move the equipment overseas to qualify individuals on the weapons that they could do so.

Overview: AF 36-2226, Combat Arms Program, chapter 2, allows weapons simulators to be used to qualify personnel with weapons. Weapons simulators are needed at all Air Combat Command (ACC) bases to provide continuing weapons qualification training when small arms ranges are closed for repair, ammunition is unavailable, or for northern tier bases when weather prohibits their use. During FY03 and FY04, 14 bases within ACC will be closing their ranges for major renovations. These renovations will last from weeks to months, according to the level of work being performed. Considering ACC Combat Arms sections annually provide weapons qualification training to over 75K people, the loss of even a few days of training time can directly effect ours Wing?s arming ability. Weapons simulators can also be used to provide unique training opportunities for specific missions. Units can use the systems to conduct judgmental training by the use of shoot-don't shoot scenarios or, by the use of authoring stations, they can create localized training scenarios to provide realistic training. AFI 36-2226 mandates simulator weapons must perform in all respects like actual weapons. To meet the need of the command and AFI 36-2226 requirements, the following requirements were developed: 2. Weapons requirements to be included in the price of the system: 2.1. System must have 10 M16A2 rifles, 10 M9 pistols, and 10 M4 carbines with flat top universal rails. 2.2. Weapons must be capable of using owner installed optics, laser and inferred pointers as they were designed without interfering with system operations or affecting warranties. 2.3. Weapons and systems used to control weapons, must use accurate and validated ballistics for each type of weapon. Ballistic data must have been previously validated by another federal agency. The integration of another companies validated ballistic data into the training system will satisfy the Air Force?s validation requirement?s under this section. VALIDATION REQUIREMENTS: There must be a high degree of variation in ballistic effects for different types/sizes of ammunition. While some ammunition may have a relatively flat trajectory over typical shooting distances, others may have a pronounced arc, forcing the shooter to learn to compensate. The most obvious example of this is the fact that a pistol does not shoot like a rifle. A more subtle example involves the way some ammunition drifts during its flyout. This drift causes the projectile to move left or right based on the direction of its spin. When firing a weapon such as the 40mm MK19, this drift must be modeled, if the shooter is to be expected to ever fire the real weapon accurately. In addition a high-fidelity simulator must teach the shooter to compensate for the effects of wind. This windage effect is not only a matter of wind speed and direction, but also of firing distance. In order to correctly calculate this effect, ballistics must be factored in. Another function of ballistics is to terminate the flight of the projectile at the proper distance. In the absence of correct ballistics, the projectile will fly to the incorrect distance or virtually forever. Each of these computations allows for the proper adjustment to the flight path of that round, given the amount of time, distance, and wind that has elapsed since the round left the weapon. The system uses that information, along with a highly precise laser detection system to provide characteristics matching that of real ammunition in real weapons. Additionally, basic trajectory data is provided at one meter intervals in ballistic tables from launch to the terminal range of a given projectile?s trajectory. Unit effects data is provided at range increments appropriate to the weapon involved. The unit effects to a constant height are used for constant height and to a constant range. Unit effects to a constant height are used for horizontal targets; unit effects to a constant range are used for vertical targets. Ballistic data used in the calculations include: ballistic air density, ballistic air temperature, ballistic range wind, ballistic vertical wind, ballistic cross wind, altitude of the meteorological datum plane, grid declination, non-standard meteorological data, thrust factors, base burn time, weight of projectile, twist of rifling, diameter of projectile, center of gravity of projectile, and axial moment of inerta. All data is integrated into the ballistic equations per weapon type and projectile type for calculations. Small arms training systems must use this data on a per weapon type projectile type to accurately calculate the terminal point of the projectile on all targets based on the vertical and horizontal range. SMALL ARMS TRAJECTORIES AND VALIDATION: Data calculated are basic trajectories at one-meter range increments to the given weapon?s maximum range, plus unit effects data. The weapons covered are the M16A2, M249, M9, M203, MK19, and M1200. During validation the following data is measured by placing a simulated target at one meter and then moving it to the maximum range at one-meter increments and taking measurements of the simulated strike of the projectile at each increment. Once this is done a comparison of the same data that is in government or commercially available ballistic data is conducted to ensure that they match within an acceptable range. In the case of one of the systems the mean is + or - .0001. 2.4. Weapons must operate and function the same as actual service weapons. System operator must have the ability, at any time during scenarios, to inject real time malfunctions/stoppages. 2.5. Air supplied to the weapons must be supplied by a light weight, easily portable, low noise, air compressor that can be locally repaired or replaced with an off-the-shelf model, if needed. 2.6. When a weapon becomes unserviceable, to minimize training interruption the immediate availability of replacement weapons (within 24 hours) from the vendor is mandatory. 2.7. At a minimum, all weapons must have a one-year warranty on parts, labor, shipping and handling. 2.8. All weapons must have a minimum life expectancy of 225,000 rounds. 2.9. At a minimum, weapons and supporting systems must maintain a minimum in-commission rate of 85%. 3. Simulator requirements to be included in the price of the system: 3.1. Software and licenses must be assigned per system, not location or individual. Each system will be equipped with original copies of all programs used in the system in the event a system must be reloaded. 3.2. The system must be a complete turnkey operation to include all power cords, cables, and other items to make the system operational. 3.3. System must be able to operate on European or US electrical standards without the use of additional external transformers. 3.4. System must come equipped with a 19-inch color CRT monitor or a 17-inch color flat panel monitor. 3.5. Each system must have a built in capability to edit any and all scenarios or courses of fire (COF) used on the system. Capability must allow for on-site, immediate customization and editing of scenarios/COF, ability to create infinite quantities of customized scenarios/COF, and the ability to create and edit localized specific scenarios/COF. If special cameras, camcorders, accessory kits, or equipment is needed they will be provided by the vendor as part of the system. 3.6. Computer used to operate the system must use high-speed processor and appropriate levels of memory to ensure no slipping, skipping, or pauses during scenarios/COF. 3.7. A high fidelity sound system must provide realistic sound and be fully controllable by the system operator at all times. 3.8. System must have global logistic and maintenance support capabilities in the event systems are deployed and require support. 3.9. System must have preloaded and ready-to-use AF-validated rifle Air Force Qualification Course (AFQC) of fire, the Tactical Rifle Qualification Course (TRQC) of fire, and pistol AFQC. Courses of fire will be validated by ACC prior acceptance of systems. 3.10. System must allow for different weapons to be fired simultaneously off the same system during marksmanship, collective, or judgmental training sessions. System must also be capable of allowing single weapons to be fired without affecting the course of fire or scenario of other students. This is needed when a single shooter must re-fire a phase or order of fire. 3.11. The system must have a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week help desk available for owners to access. Help desk must be staffed with knowledgeable personnel who can walk the owner through troubleshooting steps. 3.12. System must provide slow motion and real-time playback of scenarios and the shooters reactions, to include weapons tracking (both pre- and post-fire), weapon pitch, weapons cant, and scoring of hits. 3.13. Images must be projected by using a high fidelity projector. 3.14. Systems must be capable of providing individual and group data collection and storage. Data must be able to be printed out via high-speed color printer. 3.15. All scenarios must be contained within the system in a Windows-based format. Scenarios and COF may be loaded into the system, but run from tapes or disks. 3.16. System must come with a one-year, on-site warrantee support covering all parts, labor, shipping and handling. 3.17. Vendor must provide, at a minimum, annual program updates and maintenance to program files. 3.18. System must be capable of future expansion by adding on additional weapons, scenarios/COFs, additional hardware or software with no risk to owning units of compatibility issues between old and new items. 3.19. System operator must have the ability to view and provide physical feedback to students from the aggressors' prospective. This must be in the form of reusable, non-marking projectiles that will inflict limited pain to students, but will not have enough force to break the skin. Must be equipped with a minimum of 100 projectiles between 40 and 70 caliber and be delivered by an air driven or electronic cannon. System operator must have the option of selecting single- or multiple-round firing capabilities. Camera associated with the shoot back capability must be in color and should be viewed on the same operator display being used to monitor the scenario/COF being run. 3.20. System must be fully equipped to create and author localized judgmental and collective training scenarios. Localized scenarios must be capable of providing slow motion and real-time feedback and hit scoring. 4. Training requirements to be included in the price of the system: 4.1.
