- Description
- Marine Corps System Command, Program Manager for Training Systems (PM TRASYS), intends to award a sole source firm-fixed price contract to SYColeman Corporation (a L3 Communications Division) 14301 Sullyfield Circle, Suite G, Chantilly, VA 20151 in the amount of approximately $8,000,000 for the installation of Video Flashlight technology as part of the Range Modernization and Transformation (RM/T) program. The Marine Corps has a current operational requirement to modernize range instrumentation and simulation to increase live fire/Counter Improvised Explosive Devices (C-IED) training capability and effectiveness at the Marine Air Ground Task Force Training Command (MAGTFTC), Twentynine Palms, CA. SYColeman Corporation has extensive knowledge of 3-Dimensional immersive video technology and has a commercial available product that meets the Marine Corps? needs for training in a lethal, asymmetric combat situation including Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) as well as IED-laden environments. SYColeman?s Praetorian System, which is a licensed implementation of the patented Video Flashlight technology, has the capability for capturing real-time video and audio recording of multiple training events so as to provide a comprehensive 3-Dimensional situational awareness view of the on-going training activities selectable from any location within a 3-D modeled MOUT facility. The system shall be capable of recording and storing over two hundred separate video and audio feeds simultaneously. Rapid retrieval of the recorded/stored video and audio clips shall be synchronized and used with production toolsets in order to facilitate the generation of MOUT training after action reviews (AAR) debriefing materials. The system shall be capable of automated 3-dimensinal video capture, artificial intelligence cameras control, and video processing algorithms which provides immediate after action reviews. The system shall be compatible with and be able to be integrated with the existing Video Flashlight technology system currently installed at MAGTFTC Twentynine Palms CA. The system shall consist of the minimum following capabilities: 1. Pan/Tilt/Zone (PTZ) camera video feed overlaid dynamically over a topographical 3D model rendered map of the MOUT sites and surrounding training areas, providing a immersive stitched panoramic view of the training site to include both exterior and interior building of the training complex. Cameras angle views showing areas of interest shall be stitched so as to provide a smooth transition from one camera to the next as training progresses and moves throughout the MOUT sites and surrounding training areas. 2. Artificial intelligence and manual user PTZ cameras control modes by selection of the training area of interest and by selection of individual and group of cameras. 3. Nearest PTZ camera, as well as adjacent PTZ cameras, shall automatically be positioned and viewed to the selected area of interest and selected trainee as they transition from one location to another within the training compound. 4. Incorporation of mobile camera systems for rapid relocation to other temporary high interest-training value locations within the Twentynine Palms range complex.. Video feeds shall be remotely transmitted back to the operator console for use in situational awareness views and capable of recording video for use during AAR production. 5. AAR debriefing material including video and audio/comms clips, shall be recorded on CD, DVD, or flash drive media within 15 minutes after the completion of the training exercise in order to provide Marines a quick turnaround debriefing package on standard PC workstations , laptops, PDA, or any other electronic computer like device at any arbitrary location within the range complex. 6. Video Capture system must be able to record a minimum of 96 hours of video (30 frames per second) and audio. Recorded video and audio shall be readily accessible for immediate after action review playback (e.g., TIVO-like capability) while still in the recording mode. 7. Capable to record and playback audio w/ video from the training area, allowing user to manually select audio of interest independent of main video feed focus area. All question, concerns, and information should be addressed to John E. Lynch at john.e.lynch2@usmc.mil and Ronnie Soles at ronnie.soles@navy.mil, Marine Corps System Command PMTRASYS 12350 Research Parkway Orlando FL 32826-3275. Fax: 407.381.8807.
