This procurem ent is for the expansion to an existing effort DAAE07-95-2-0001 with Charles stark Draper laboratory, to provi DE software engineering, development, and modeling in support of the prototyping program. Draper will produce an expansion version of the current monarch Alpha software, capable of interfacing with the inputs and outputs of both the castforem and vic models. The new contract will extend the capability to the current demonstration modules and develop the non-implemented modules. The software will be stabilized, debugged and documented so that It can be used by the current Model operators. Drap er will: Develop Post processor interface and integrate analysis tools; further develop the input interface and vehicle data base; develop modules and add capabilities or extend functionally; develop other demonstration MOD Els to interface/integrate TARDEC virtual prototyping process; continue development of monarch software; demostrate initial interface capability with other models. This follow-on action will be negotiated on a sole source basis with Charles stark Draper laboratory.
