B -- EDUCATION AND TRAINING TECHNOLOGY APPLICATION PROGRAM POC CAPT SHARON ORLANDO tel: 210/652-2490/MS REINETTE ALECOZAY CNT F4168996R0013 The Air Education Training Command, Randolph AFB TX is seeking qualified small businesses/SBA 8(A) business firms under SIC Code 8732 (Size Standard $5) capable of performing the following: 1) Conduct trade studies and analysis on the efficacy of different types of training systems and devices to include cost benefit, training transfer, design, production, configuration mangement, and sustainment. Contractor shall also be required to conduct training system front end analyses (FEAs) and Training System Requirements Analyses (TSRAs) using the Instructional Systems Development method. 2) Design training device specifications for system/sub-system development. Build prototype hardware and software. Include human factors, performance and knowledge training transfer, and I/O design/interface. Training device fidelity will be appropriate for the task being taught/practiced. 3) Design and prototype local training device networks, using, where appropriate, current Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) protocols, Asynchronous Transfer Modes (ATM), and other emerging hardware/software protocols. 4) Design and prototype long haul distributed simulator networking using DIS, Defense Simulation Internet (DSI), and ATM protocols. 5) Support simulator database development (e.g. visual, radar, weather, threat) including use of Mil STd 1821 Standard Interchange Format (SIF) protocols. Be conversant with techniques and tools of database generation including R-buffering, Z-buffering, continuous terrain, photo-realism, color tables and the color requirements for night vision goggle use, Defense Mapping Agency products and support, datums and their relationship to database fidelity, and techniques for terrain polygonalization. 6) Design and prototype the physical and data networking required to link host computers with peripheral devices including image generators, digital radar land mass simulators, threat simulators, and 1553 data buses. 7) Design and prototype visual systems using Wide Area Columnated (WAC) window displays, projection displays, or helmet mounted displays. 8) Design and prototype instructor operator stations (IOSs) for variou training systems including provisions for NVG, threat, and DRLMS integration, record/playback, and other on/off board data capture and scenario management systems. 9) Design and prototype DRLMS capable of supporting terrain following/terrain avoidance (TF/TA), air-ground mapping, target recognition, color weather mapping, and enroute navigation, including the techniques used in I-DRLMS, P-DRLMS, and other vendor specific formats. 10) Design and prototype hydraulic and electrical control loading and motion base systems for 6 degree of freedom simulators, part task and procedural trainers, and other training devices requiring motion cueing. 11) Design, prototype, produce, and modify constructive models which support education and training objectives including networking confederations of models and re-host and re-write activities. 12) For each modeling and simulation project, design and implement software configuration management plans, training and training support, computer support, and life cycle cost management. Only offerors interested in submitting a proposal for the requirement should respond with a ''capability statement'' identifying themselves as a small or SBA 8(A) business and detailing all of their relevant tedchnical qualifications. A separate capability statement should be submitted for each functional grouping.
