- Description
- The U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command Simulation and Training Technology Center (formerly STRICOM) publicized Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) N61339-01-R-0023 in the CBD on 01 March 2001. This notice calls for White Paper Submissions in reference to the research interest entitled, “Battlefield Simulation Research: 1-M. Embedded Simulation and Training” Technical Points of Contact for this specific white paper submission: Mr. Henry Marshall, RDECOM STTC (407)384-3820, Henry.A.Marshall@us.army.mil (email contact preferred). Contractual Points of Contact: NAVAIR-Orlando-TSD, Ms. Debra Leuschel, Contract Specialist, 12350 Research Parkway, Orlando, FL 32826 or Ms. Vanessa Dobson, Procuring Contracting Officer, 12350 Research Parkway, Orlando, FL 32826. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES AND DESCRIPTION: Demonstrate a field capable mounted/dismounted embedded training systems for the Embedded Combined Arms Team Training and Mission Rehearsal (ECATT-MR) Science and Technology Objective (STO). These systems will lay the groundwork for future Army embedded systems that will provide deployable sustainment training and mission rehearsal for combined arms forces that accurately replicate the Contemporary Operational Environment. These systems will allow mounted/dismounted forces to train and perform mission rehearsal on demand without significant external support. The goal is to move the mounted /dismounted interoperable embedded training technologies to a Technology Readiness Level of 6 (which is a prototype demonstration in a relevant environment). A dismounted squad level unit using these systems supplemented by other embedded dismounted prototypes with one Future Combat System (FCS) Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICV) like vehicle will do a mission rehearsal with the system and supporting capabilities such as Mission Walkthrough and After Action Review (AAR). The utility of the system to train, perform mission rehearsal and distributed AAR under likely field conditions will be evaluated. RESEARCH AREAS OF INTEREST RDECOM STTC is interested in those technologies for future mounted/dismounted embedded training. The goal is to focus on the demonstration of a future mounted/dismounted interoperable embedded training solution for FCS Manned Ground Vehicles (MGV) and supporting dismounted forces. The following narrative provides an abbreviated description of the prospective research areas. The description is not meant to be exhaustive, but rather to challenge the reader to create and submit innovative white papers/proposals that have the potential to dramatically expand and enhance the technologies to be pursued in the specific area of interest described below. Any submitted white paper or proposal must be grounded in achievable technology goals: The research area will: · Fully Immersive Man wearable Dismounted Embedded Virtual Simulation – demonstrate a Man wearable virtual simulation that provides effective embedded simulation and mission rehearsal capabilities within the future hardware footprints of a Land Warrior (LW) or Future Force Warrior (FFW) like system. This requires consideration of factors like weight, battery life and man wearable human factors. Other likely technology areas for improvement include; Helmet mounted or other display technologies, Wearable Computers, Movement tracking, and movement control. The system will track the body and weapon movements of the trainee and correlate them to the virtual environment. The system will be able to provide sensor and communication capabilities to coordinate collectively with other dismounted player units and the Mounted Force which will be represented by the Future Combat System (FCS) Infantry Carrier Testbed. The system will implement a limited set of Joint Variable Message (JVMF) messages to perform mounted/dismounted coordination. The offeror will need to deliver between 1 to 4 prototypes of the player units for experimentation. · Creative Low Cost NOTE: THIS NOTICE MAY HAVE POSTED ON WWW.FEDBIZOPPS.GOV ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (24-JUN-2002). IT ACTUALLY APPEARED OR REAPPEARED ON THE FEDBIZOPPS SYSTEM ON 28-MAR-2005, BUT REAPPEARED IN THE FTP FEED FOR THIS POSTING DATE. PLEASE CONTACT fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
