A Summary of the Statement of Work (SOW) is as follows: 1.1 BACKGROUND - Over the past two years, the Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) has been a funding participant of the Edgewood Research Development and Engineering Center's (ERDEC) CBR Consortium to bring realtime chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) environments to constructive and distributed interactive simulations. This effort has resulted in a Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) certified CBR environmental simulator and a manned M93 E1 Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) Reconnaissance vehicle (FOX) simulator. Simultaneously, DNA has been pursuing the integration of human variability and performance degradation models into the Modular Semi-Automated Forces (ModSAF) code under DNA contract DNA001-90-C-0139. The success of these two programs has generated the need to expand and integrate these DNA capabilities. This requirement can be satisfied by the expansion of the CBR simulator into an NBC simulator and by expanding the previous ModSAF work under DNA001-90-C-0139 to include protracted radiation, chemical, and biological insults. This effort is designed to complement the ERDEC CBR Consortium Contract DAAM01-95-C-0014. 1.2 OBJECTIVES The objectives of this program are to: provide real-time nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) environments to distributed simulations under IEEE 1278 standards, upgrade the FOX simulator and investigate expanded applications and expand the initial nuclear radiation version ModSAF to include human variability and performance degradation from other prompt and protracted nuclear effects, from chemical and biological agents exposure, and from other operational behavioral/performance degrading stressors. 2.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS- Documents for Review: The following documents are available for your review in the library at Headquarters, Defense Nuclear Agency, 6801 Telegraph Road, Alexandria, Virginia 22310-3398.
