A -- TERRAIN DATABASE GENERATION AND TECHNOLOGY FOR SYNTHETIC ENVIRONMENTS Sol DACA76-95-R-0012, Due 110295, contact Ms. Ronaly Lichtenfels, (703) 355-2620, Contracting Officer, Ms. Mary L. Williams, (703) 355-2608. The U.S. Army Topographic Engineering Center (USATEC) intends to award an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract for a base year with four additional one year options. The contractor shall be required to demonstrate a production capability for generating Terrain Databases (TDBs) using existing S100 software tools and formats such as Vistaworks, Flight and Multigen. Experience using ARC/INFO Geographic Information System and Triangulated Irregular Networks (TIN) with sources such as Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) Level I or II, Interim Terrain Data (ITD), TIGER, Digital Line Graphics (DLG), Digital Chart of the World (DCW), etc, will also be required. The contractor must also demonstrate the ability to generate database maps of the TDBs. The topographic representation for these TDBs will include but not be limited to Feature data such as vegetation, soils, surface water, built-up areas, road net representation or classification and model representation of priority features. The contractor shall be required to work with new technologies such as the Digital Stereo Photogrammetric Workstation (DSPW) and be able to extract information from maps and imagery such as national source, Spot, Landsat, etc. The contractor may also be required to independently develop, document and implement new technologies for the production of synthetic environment databases. The contractor will develop and implement a testbed for the integration of Rapid Construction of Virtual Worlds (RCVW) technology into the synthetic environments database production process. Knowledge and experience in the areas of photgrammetry, geography, geodesy and photo-interpretation will also be required. The contractor will also provide technical support assistance and training for other members of the Modeling and Simulation (M&S) community who are using S1000 or DPW generated databases. This assistance may involve at times facilitating compatibility and interoperability between divergent systems in the user community. Travel may be required to collect information necessary for the generation of TDBs. The contractor will be required to work within a classified environment and must have personnel cleared to the Top Secret SCI level at the time of award. The contractor must have access to a Secure Compartmented Information Facility. Copies of the solicitation are available only to businesses submitting a written request (please state business size on request). Requests may be faxed to the attention of Ms. Ronaly Lichtenfels on (703) 355-2995. (261)
