70 -- PURCHASE OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL COMPUTER BASED TOWER SIMULATOR SOL F41691-95-R0027 POC Linda M. Johnson tel: 210/652-5117/Kathy J. Williams, Contracting Officer, 210/652-5117 12 CONS/LGCX, RANDOLPH AFB TX 78150-4525, intends to acquire on a sole-source basis through Hughes Training-Link Division, formally CAE-Link Corporation, P.O. Box 1237, Binghampton NY 13902-1237, a computer based tower simulator. This simulator is being purchased through the Training Technologies Applications Program (TTAP), AETC/XORP, for the United States Air Force (USAF) Air Traffic Control School located at Keesler AFB MS. The system must consist of Virtual Tower hardware and software; must meet all of the Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) protocols as identified by the Institute Electrical Electronics Engineer (IEEE) 1278; must be able to operate as a stand-alone single position trainer or as a fully operational three (3) position tower trainer; must be able to accurately replicate all functions of a D-BRITE radar display, to include call sign, beacon code, aircraft altitude, airspeed, 60 mile variable display; and display hand-off capabilities with the radar simulator; must include light guns and Airport Surface Detection (ASDE) ground control radar display; must have a programmable digitized communication system that will support as a minimum, 16 radio frequencies, 16 intrafacility landlines, 16 interfacility landlines, as well as the tower radar coordination system; must be able to integrate with the vendor designed and supplied air traffic control radar simulator and have synchronized video/audio and record/playback capabilities; must be capable of simulating the busiest USAF facilities and provide at least 40 programmable moving targets, these targets must be airborne and on the ground; must have the capability to add or subtract targets as needed to enhance the realism of the training scenarios. The USAF aircraft recognition criteria must be met with the use of binoculars; must be able to include cloud formation, rain, snow, translucent fog, lightning and selected visibilities; must have an airport design tool, aircraft modeling/performance tool and scenario generator that are all user- friendly. The system must use, but not limited to four (4) 67'' rear-screen projection monitors. The projection system must use as a minimum Silicon Graphics Reality II image generators. The simulator system must give the user the ability to develop aircraft, airfield and weather scenarios as input for the computer based training (CBT) lessons. The system must also have an administration, security and student management program built-in. A comprehensive demonstration of the system capabilities at a designated CONUS facility will be conducted prior to contract award. This demonstration will include all system capabilities, an overview of maintenance and operating procedures. The vendor must have a minimum of five (5) years of air traffic control simulation experience; must supply an instructional course covering software, user performed preventative maintenance and overall system operation at the Air Force training facility for up to ten (10) Air Force designated personnel prior to acceptance of the system. The system must be warranted for one (1) year from date of acceptance, must provide 24-hour telephone and 12-hour on-site support; and must propose a yearly maintenance support contract. The complete system must be delivered to the Air Traffic Control School at Keesler AFB prior to 1 Aug 95. System set-up and training must be performed by the contractor prior to 1 Sep 95. The performance period will be for a Basic and One Option year. This is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document for additional information is available. (0074)
