R -- DEVELOP A PROGRAM OF INFUSING NEW TECHNOLOGIES, IN PARTICULAR DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS, INTO THE PROCESS OF GAMING AND SIMULATION SOL DAHC32-95-R-0005. DUE 070595. POC Contract Specialist, Mr. Mitchell Colston, 202/287-9150 X 154, Contracting Officer, Ms. Tobin L. Gatto, 202/287-9150 X161. The War Gaming and Simulation Center (WGSC), acting under the President of National Defense University (NDU), undertakes a program of infusing new technologies, in particular decision support systems, into the process of gaming and simulation to enhance the education of future military leaders and to support the current community of military and policy decision-makers. Given the dramatic geo-political changes that have taken place in recent years, and the resulting demands on military and policy leaders for rapid and innovative approaches to decision-making, there is a need to ensure that WGSC can provide state-of-the-art support to gaming and simulation participants. The Center's initiatives include the identification of methods in which decision support systems can be applied to enhance simulations and games, the acquisition of decision support systems, and support for infusion of such systems where appropriate. The work to be conducted under this contract will be in support of these efforts. The scope of this effort will cover the following three areas: 1) Analysis of the application of decision support systems to enhance specific gaming and simulation objectives and processes. 2) Identification, acquisition, and development of decision support systems. 3) Provisions of support for the infusion of decision support systems into the gaming and simulation environment. The type of contract anticipated will be a time-and-materials, task order/requirements type contract for a base year plus one option year. Request for copies must be in writing to the Contracting Office. Fax requests are acceptable at 202-287-9142. Please refer to solicitation DAHC32-95-R-0005.
