The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has a requirement for engineering and technical support for research and development in such areas as environmental modeling (atmospheric and undersea), sensor modeling (radar, IR, sonar, and fiber optic), and systems performance (communication security, information security, and decision support). The specific task areas of support includes the development of the Naval Simulation System (NSS). The function of the NSS is simulation of warfighting capability. Once developed, it will be deployed at sea. The successful contractor will be required to develop, document, test, and install NSS. Furthermore, the contractor will be required to provide a full range of existing warfighting models capable of performing in an NSS environment, integrate them into the NSS architecture, work with NRL in providing leading edge scheduling capabilities for parallel implementation of NSS on high performance parallel computing systems, and provide the documentation and training needed todeploy NSS aboard naval vessels. The major portion of tasks will be performed at the contractor's facility and field testing locations, not at NRL. The personnel will be required to have U.S. Citizenship and SCI level clearances. The contractor will be required to have a Top Secret level facility clearance. An Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity type contract with Cost Plus Fixed Fee payments is anticipated.
