B -- EDUCATION & TRAINING TECHNOLOGY APPLICATION PROGRAM SOL F41689-96-R-0013 POC Capt Sharon Orlando tel: 210/652-2490/Reinette Alecozay Nonpersonal services to 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 management, 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 or similar 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 high fidelity GEO-specific, photo specific simulator data base development (e.g. visual, radar, weather, threat). 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 various 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 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. The Government anticipates the award of three IDIQ contracts to fulfill this requirement. The period of performance will be 1 Oct 96 through 30 Sep 97 with four one-year options. Solicitation F41689-96-R-0013 will be issued on or about 26 April 96. Only written requests will be honored and may be faxed to 210-652-7665. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. (0078)
