- Description
- The United States Air Force, AETC/JBKAE, Lackland AFB, Texas 78236-5259 publishes this notice of intent to award a sole source contract for informational purposes only. The Defense Language Institute English Language Center (DLIELC) has a requirement to Provide software license renewal for PlaneEnglish Aviation Radio Simulator (ARSim). PlaneEnglish ARSim is a software tool used to study and grade student performance in aviation base radio calls. PlaneEnglish offers aviation radio communication training in an interactive environment using USAF radio communication phraseology. The ability to experience aviation communication in a realistic environment increases the training effectiveness and outcomes of our international cadre of students and better prepares them for their follow-on training. DLIELC has used PlaneEnglish ARSim since July 2021 as part of its training toolset and provided access to its students as a supplemental training aid. During this period, on request from DLIELC, PlaneEnglish has developed additional training content and organized it to fit the training curricula used by their instructors. DLIELC finds great utility in continuing to utilize ARSim to evaluate student speech for pronunciation, word order, and sentence structure. DLIELC considers ARSim and the training capability that it provides an important part of its training and curriculum. They have formally integrated ARSim into their training curriculum and makes it a mandatory training device for their students. DLIELC has already prescribed weekly ARSim homework practice in their existing curriculum and are developing activities around it in future curriculum.
