- AUGMENTED REALITY (AR) and VIRTUAL REALITY (VR) MARKET RESEARCH INDUSTRY DAY INTRODUCTION The Program Executive Office Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) will host an AR and VR Industry Day with the support of Army Contracting Command Orlando (ACC-ORL) as a means of conducting market research to identify contractors with interest in and the resources to support the requirement for Family of Maintenance Trainers (FMT) Product Line (PL). The intention is to procure these services on a competitive basis. �THIS MARKET RESEARCH INDUSTRY DAY IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A �REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP)� TO BE SUBMITTED. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT. RESPONSES IN ANY FORM ARE NOT OFFERS AND THE GOVERNMENT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT AS A RESULT OF THIS MARKET RESEARCH INDUSTRY DAY. NO FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR CONTRACTORS FOR ATTENDING THE INDUSTRY DAY. ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY RESPONDENTS TO THIS MARKET RESEARCH INDUSTRY DAY IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY.

PROGRAM BACKGROUND The FMT PL utilizes a Government owned architecture and a common software and hardware baseline (Common Core) to provide skill level development for system operation, fault diagnosis, troubleshooting, adjustments, removal and replacement, and repair tasks for multiple vehicle platforms. Current FMT PL supported platforms include Abrams, Bradley, Stryker, Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV), and Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV). The FMT PL is comprised of Diagnostic Troubleshooting Trainers (DTTs), Part Task Trainers (PTTs), and Hands on Trainers (HOTs). The Common Core is the common hardware and software baseline that provides the infrastructure, functionality, and capabilities to support maintenance training across the FMT PL. DTTs are currently computer-based system simulations which provide interactive visual and audio maintenance training in a virtual classroom environment; no actual physical vehicle hardware is employed. Navigation and interaction with the DTTs are currently handled via keyboard, mouse, and touchscreen inputs. PTTs provide high fidelity, system/subsystem full-scale representation and allow student access to hardware for fault isolation and subsequent repair training of Line Replaceable Units (LRUs). HOTs are high fidelity, system/subsystem full scale representations platform which include multiple subsystems and are operated in the same manner as the PTTs. Product Director Virtual Training Systems Mission Support (PD VTS MS) is coordinating an AR and VR Market Research Industry Day to efficiently engage with industry and assess current technological capabilities with the goal of informing stakeholders and developing future requirements for the integration of AR and/or VR capabilities into the FMT PL. Future Efforts: PD VTS MS is working to establish a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract to facilitate production, technical refresh, concurrency updates, development, cybersecurity, new technology/capability integration, and Common Core management and improvements for the FMT PL. The target award date for this contract is 3Q FY25. The possible applicable NAICS series for this Industry Day 54151 . �Businesses of all sizes are encouraged to attend.
