69 -- LIGHTED ARMORED VEHICLE (LAV)-25 WEAPON SYSTEM DUE 053095 POC Mr. Joseph A. Balbona, Contracting Officer, at (407)380-8055 The U.S. Marine Corps is looking for Non Developmental Item training systems to support the Marine Corps' training requirements for the Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) - 25 weapon system. The LAV-25 trainer(s) should be portable, appended, high fidelity, full crew, and designed to support gunnery and crew communication/coordination training contained in FMFM 6-32 Light Armored Vehicle Gunnery Employment. The LAV-25 trainer(s) should use sensors mounted on selected controls/indicators at the commander, gunner, and driver stations to gather data to 1) control the visual system response, 2) control the aural system response, and 3) to provide system and training information to the instructor/operator station. The LAV-25 gunnery training system should visually replicate day/night scenarios, both European and desert terrain, a variety of target types (OPFOR and BLUFOR), target signatures, weapon effects (anti-armor launch/hit/miss, and flight characteristics of both the M242 25mm Gun and M240 Machine Gun. The aural cues should consist of realistic operational and weapon sounds presented to the crew through the LAV-25's intercom system. The visual and aural information should be correlated to the sensed LAV-25 controls. From an external instructor/operator station, the instructor/operator should be able to 1) calibrate the appended sensors, 2) control exercise selection, 3) observe the tactical situation through the commander's, gunner's, and driver's views, 4) monitor the status of the sensed controls/indicator at each station, and 5) conduct post-exercise crew performance analysis and record keeping. The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division encourages companies that have Non Developmental Item (NDI) or near-NDI LAV-25 training systems to send their response to the following question to the address listed below prior to 30 May 95. Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division Attention: Code 2731/Joe Balbona 12350 Research Parkway, Orlando, FL 32826-3224. 1. Please list the controls/sensors for each LAV-25 crew position simulated/stimulated by your training device's. 2. Please provide the system block diagram and the system functional flow diagram of the training device. 3. Please briefly describe your training device's visual system. Include in this description a list of the specific visual models for the following categories: a) terrain types (desert, European, etc.). b) target types (OPFOR & BLUFOR). c) Weapon effects (own & targets; i.e. tracers, main gun flash, dirt blast, etc.) d) environmental conditions (smoke, dust, fog, sun position, time of day, etc.) 4. Please list the sounds currently replicated by the training device. 5. Please describe the power requirements of your current training system. Can your system effectively operate from either vehicle power or a portable generator. 6. Please list the temperature and relative humidity for both operation and storage. 7. Please briefly describe how your device has been designed to be portable? 8. Please indicate how many unique training scenarios are available in your current training device. 9. Please describe your training device's footprint (length, width, height) in both the operational and storage mode. 10. Please list the documentation (engineering, logistics, and training documentation) currently available for your training device. 11. Please indicate if your current system is Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) compliant or non-compliant. (0136)
