(VI) Item: Joint Fires Trainer manufactured by Eagle Dynamics/The Fighter Collection "or equal" and annual maintenance agreement. Description: Software must be scalable to meet various levels of training requirements from procedural training to mission rehearsal; it must be configurable to meet various facility and transportability requirements; must be able to network with other stations of the same simulation. Must be a desktop trainer and allow for accurate battlefield simulation during day and night conditions specifically with use of the IR pointer and allows for accurate Litening targeting pod usage to include Full Motion Video downlink and Laser marking/terminal guidance operations-providing for realistic training over a wider range of joint fires scenarios. Must have an emphasis on close air support for JTAC training and specifically replicate TYPE I,II,III controls in the virtual environment. World environment: Virtual environment must have the ability to generate four seasons which reflect changes in color and foliage, day and night scenarios, and alterable weather conditions: cloud, fog, haze, rain, snow, temperature and wind at a minimum. Image Generator: Terrain from a known part of the world developed to a level of detail and density sufficient to necessitate consideration of marking options. Must have ability to add objects to the terrain/virtual world. Terrain must be WGS-84 compatible with coordinates displayed in Lat/Long decimal, Lat/Long minutes and MGRS. Stations: PILOT Station: Ability to accurately replicate flight profiles of attack, fighter, bomber and attack helicopters. Aircraft should also have the ability to be flown/directed from mission editor by the instructor. Pilot must be able to fly standard attack profiles and to release weapon when directed or to abort attack short of release. JTAC Station: Must have ability to position JTAC anywhere and be fully mobile and allow the JTAC use of mil-binoculars, laser range finder, laser designator, and IR pointer. Laser guidance and subsequent impact of laser guided bomb should impact with the laser designation whether it is on the intended target or not. Laser Spot Search capability should be accurately simulated. Simulator must accurately replicate ROVER capability with Full Motion Video downlink to the JTAC and instructor station. To simulate night operations, the optical target locating devices must have night vision capability. Should be able to detect targets and aircraft at night consistent with real world NVD expectations. In addition JTAC view must allow visual tracking of aircraft to include analyzing attack geometry. The JTAC must be able to acquire the aircraft aided and unaided. INSTRUCTOR Station/ Mission Planning: Instructor must have the ability to create any type of JTAC mission, to include high threat and permissive environments. A wide variety of military vehicles, aircraft and personnel should be in the database able to integrate into the scenario. Instructor has ability to introduce indirect fire during mission planning and execution, with realistic ballistics and timing. Ability to set, modify and meet multiple TOT's/TTT's for deconfliction of fires. Instructor has the ability to fire SEAD missions in conjunction with other fires. Software must have adjustable skill levels and missile effectiveness for aircraft, vehicles and defense systems. Simulator should accurately replicate fighter, bomber or rotary wing performance. The simulation should allow the instructor or pilot to select desired ordnance and replicate weapons effect, delivery parameters, and methods of employment for unguided, laser guided and coordinate seeking weapons. Display, explosion, smoke, fire, structural damage, casualties should be adequate to allow JTAC to determine Battle Damage Assessment. There must be an assortment of fixed, and mobile targets that replicate real world environments and target movements and formation with sufficient detail to support weaponeering decisions appropriate to the tactical situation. HARDWARE: The system should operate using commercial off the shelf technology. In addition to the above features, the software should contain a robust database of military weapon systems. These weapon systems and their effects are accurately depicted during the computer simulation. NETWORK CAPABILITY: Must have ability to network at least 5 workstations in any combination of instructor, pilot, JTAC and JFO position. Instructor's view allows students screen to be viewed at any time for review. Each session must have the ability to be recorded, edited and commented for analysis in post-mission debriefing.
