- Description
- The Electronic Systems Center (ESC) is seeking qualified sources to provide a modeling & simulation (M&S) package to support the Airborne and Maritime/Fixed Station (AMF) Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) program. The M&S package provided should support the simulation of a mobile, radio-based wireless network. The simulation should model all aspects of wireless networking, including full protocol stack modeling (including, but not limited to ipv6), RF propagation effects, radio transmitter/receiver characteristics and node motion. A terrain model should be included to capture environmental effects on wireless communications, ideally using standard DTED (Digital Terrain Elevation Data) products as the terrain source. The simulation should support the High Level Architecture (HLA) to allow building and running a federation of multiple simulators. The simulation should provide a mechanism for interfacing to live hardware and/or other software applications. A mechanism for visually analyzing the mobile networks modeled should be included, displaying the network topology in 3-D on a rendered terrain background. Data logging and playback features are also required. In order to support re-use of existing models pertinent to the AMF/JTRS program, compatibility with the Wideband Network Waveform (WNW) models developed by the JTRS Joint Waveform Program Office (JWPO) and compatibility with the NETWARS simulation environment are required. Interested firms are invited to provide a qualifications package containing the following information: (1) Company name, address and point of contact (2) Web site URL (if available) (3) The size of your company (in personnel) (4) A description of any existing software modules that address the technical requirements indicated above, said description being in the form of (a) pamphlets or other forms of written documentation or (b) URLs to web site pages on which such modules are described (5) The hardware platform(s) and operating system(s) with which your software is compatible (6) A copy of your software licensing agreement (7) A description of the technical support service(s) offered by your company (8) Examples of other government/military clients who have used (or are currently using) your software. Firms may provide their qualifications package via e-mail or they may provide two hardcopies and one electronic copy (CD) of their qualifications package to GIGSG/PK, 5 Eglin Street, (MITRE D Building), Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts 01731-2100, Attn: Jeffrey Wong (Jeffrey.Wong@hanscom.af.mil). If you send your qualifications package via e-mail, please confirm receipt by calling Mr. Wong at (781)271-6272. Responses are required no later than 1700 hours Eastern Time on 08 May 2006. Responses must also include the company name, address, size of business (i.e., large business, small business, small disadvantaged business, 8(a) concern, veteran-owned business, or HUBZone small business), whether U.S. or foreign-owned entity, and a company point of contact. Please limit your qualification package to a maximum of 10 pages. (Format: 8.5 x 11 inch paper, compatible with Microsoft Word 2000/XP; Font Times Roman; 10 pt, 1-inch margins.) Sources are also requested to identify any on-going Government contract vehicles they may have for the same or similar work (limit 1 page, which is included in the 10 page total). Please include the name and number of the ongoing contract, contract scope, contract type, period of performance, contract deliverable, dollar thresholds and limitations, the issuing Government agency, and the name and telephone number of the Contracting Officer. The Government intends to evaluate each prime contractor capability package submitted and will notify each source by e-mail not later than 21 May, 2006 of our assessment of their potential competitiveness . This synopsis is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal; it does not restrict the Government as to the ultimate acquisition approach, nor should it be construed as a commitment by the Government.
