70 -- F/A-18C ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT AND DISPLAY PROTOTYPING SYSTEM SOL N6893698-Q-0256 DUE 010598 POC Jean Daniel, Purchasing Agent, (760) 939-0852 The Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division, China Lake, CA intends to procure on an other than full and open competition basis F/A-18C Engineering Development and Display Prototyping System. The Prototyping System consists of: 1) one (1) simulated F/A-18C hosting left/right DDIs, a center MPCD, instruments, stick, throttle, control panels, and indicators for accurate evaluation of prototype displays, 2) one (1) Computational system consisting of the following hardware: one (1) Silicon Graphics iris Onyx with one (1) graphics card for OTW display and one (1) graphics card for the cockpit displays;One (1) one Silicon Graphics Indigo2 for instructor operator station. The Onyx computer contains Ethernet, serial, SCSI and VME interfaces to connect to additional peripherals. The Indigo2 computer contains EISA interface slots in addition to serial, SCSI, and Ethernet ports, 3) one (1) Display systems consisting of the following hardware: One (1) 29" high resolution color monitor for OTW display mounted for 40( by 40( forward field-of-view; one (1) 29" high resolution color monitor for heads down instrumentation display (DDIs and MPCD); and one (1) 19" high resolution color monitor for IOS display, 4) one (1) 8mm DAT tape drive for data storage of mission data, 5) Reality Engine II (RE2) graphics subsystem for image generation, 6) one (1) Mission Simulator System (MSS) software, implemented in C utilizing Object-Oriented Design techniques which consists the following: a) MSS development environment license, which includes C source code, makes files, and internals manual for all MSS software, b) IOS development environment license, which includes C source code and makes files for IOS software, c) F/A-18 data library license which includes visual image and data files describing motion, displays, sensors, controls, weapons and countermeasures, d) Visual database, which includes approximately 150 nm square visual area with terrain and cultural features from DMA information. This requirement is sole sourced to CTA Inc., Ridgecrest, CA for Unique Capabilities, must be compatible with the existing system and software. Any firm believing that they can provide this Prototyping System shall submit a written response to be received by the Contracting Officer no later than five (5) days after the publication of this notice, which maybe considered by the agency. Award is expected to be mae on or before January 07,1998. (0336)
