- PEO STRI Program Manager for Air & Combat Tactical Trainers (PM ACTT), has a requirement to procure a semi-immersive game application capable of simulating the Common Operating Environment (COE). The immersive environment will provide Soldiers, leade rs, staffs, and units the ability to train on mission critical tasks and exercise cognitive skills required to operate in the COE. This training can be done prior to deployment, during deployment, at home station, institutions, or through individual self-d evelopment. In the future, the government plans to procure an enterprise licensing agreement and data rights for any solution successfully proposed in response to this request for information and the subsequent contracting action. The desire is that this prospective procurement will not require system development but will rely on Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products currently available. 2. The government is seeking potential solutions to fulfill the following requirements: ? Provide a deployable, interactive, semi-immersive environment to train individual and collective skills for company and below in the COE. The training environment will enable Soldiers to train on mission critical tasks prior to, and during a deployment. The applic ation will be capable of hosting a server or acting as a client for multi-participant scenarios to fulfill this requirement. ? Provide an environment that enables commanders and leaders to develop and refine intuitive decision-making skills. This en vironment provides the capability to train commanders and leaders on the following Warfighting Functions: command and control, maneuver and force protection.

This includes the ability to stimulate a Command and Control systems. ? Provide the ability to develop and edit training scenarios, m issions, terrain, and gaming application content, i.e. models, buildings and computer generated forces. Any solution proposed must provide the capability to import standard DoD terrain products such as Digital Elevation Models, Digital Terrain Elevation D ata, shape files and other files that contain feature data to include building footprints, roads and vegetation. The system must have the capability to import standard imagery formats down to two meters with color resolution. The system must provide the capability to support 3D scenario creation and editing during scenario runtime and provide 3D after action review playback. ?
