69 -- UPGRADE OF FLIGHT SIMULATORS IN KOREA (UH-60A/L, CH-47D, AND AH-64A) SOL N61339-98-R-0008 POC Bill Kingsley, Contract Specialist, (407)380-4308; or Barbara Y. Ladd, Contracting Officer, (407)380-4099 E-MAIL: Click here to contact the contract specialist via e-mail., Bill_Kingsley@stricom.army.mil. The U.S. Army Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM) has an operational requirement to procure a one-time upgrade to the Eighth U.S. Army's (EUSA's) existing flight simulation training devices in Korea. This includes the AH-64A Apache Combat Mission Simulator (CMS), the UH-60A/L Black Hawk Flight Simulator (FS), the CH-47D Chinook Flight Simulator and associated hardware and support. EUSA has an urgent operational requirement to provide each of its aircraft training simulators now equipped with the Army TACtical Digital Image Generator (ATACDIG) the capability to display imagery from a common, geographically specific (geo-specific) visual database of Korea. The subject devices will have the existing ATACDIG visual systems replaced with state-of-the-art visual image generation systems capable of presenting geo-specific, out-the-window and sensor imagery. The integration of the tactical simulation and visual capabilities must be completed without degradation to the existing capabilities of the three devices. Additionally, associated host simulation computers will be upgraded (where applicable) with state-of-the-art computer systems. This effort is to be procured from the development contractor, Raytheon Training, Inc. (formally Hughes Training Inc., formally CAE-Link, Inc.), 13775 McLearen Road, Herndon, VA 22071. The required period of performance is June 1998 through September 1999. The Government does not have the descriptive design documentation to convey the engineering performance characteristics or physical configuration of the integrated ATACDIG system. No technical data/drawings are available. Authority and Justification is Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, only one responsible source. As the designer, developer, and manufacturer of the ATACDIG system, Raytheon Training, Inc. is the only source that possesses the necessary technical databases, current design knowledge, and expertise to accomplish the upgrade within the requisite time period. Respondents to this notice should submit, within 15 days after publication in the CBD, a statement of capability to determine their responsibility. This is not a request for proposal. No RFP is available. (0023)
