COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF FEBRUARY 9,1999 PSA#2279Commander, Naval Air Systems Command (Code 2.3), Patuxent Naval Air
Station, Bldg 2272, Lexington Park, MD 20670 36 -- VH-3D AND VH-60N FLIGHT TRAINING DEVICES SOL N00019-99-R-1204
DUE 050699 POC Steve Mears, Air-2.3.2.7.3, (301) 757-5233 WEB: none,
none. E-MAIL: mearsrs@navair.navy.mil, mearsrs@navair.navy.mil. The
Naval Air Systems Command intends to conduct a full and open
competition for one VH-3D and one VH-60N Aircrew Procedures Trainers
(APTs). The APTs will provide training for Marine Helicopter Squadron
One (HMX-1) aircrew personnel; therefore, the APTs must be capable of
duplicating all aircraft operations. The computer system must be an
upgradeable, open architecture system with the capacity to simulate
real time aircraft systems performance. Intercommunication systems must
allow communication between the pilot, copilot, computer systems
operator, instructor and observer. A fully functional Communications
Systems Operator (CSO) station should be provided in the VH-60N APT.
The CSO station must have an adjacent instructor's bench. Each APT
should lend itself to efficient modification including expansion and
configuration changes. The visual imaging system must provide a real
time out-the-window display of the surrounding environment as it
corresponds to the simulated flight conditions. The system must provide
adequate information to allow the crew to assess aircraft position,
attitude and motion in the environment. There must be scenes adequate
for training during all times of the day and night under unaided
vision. Cross cockpit viewing must be available to allow the pilot and
copilot to exchange necessary cues in support of completing the
training mission. The visual database will require a Washington, D.C.
gaming area. There is also a requirement for several highly detailed
custom areas to be incorporated into the database. In support of
formation flight training, models of the VH-3D, VH-60N, H-53, and H-46
helicopters must be provided. The Marine Corps Common Database will be
provided as Government Furnished Equipment. Each APT should be equipped
with an electronically controlled, electromechanically driven seat
shaker system. The instructor operating station must have the necessary
controls and displays to initiate and control training, and to monitor
and record trainee performance. The APTs should be operable by the
pilot, copilot, instructor, observer, and CSO trainee (in the case of
the VH-60N APT). The APTs should be contained in a minimum number of
enclosures and must accept standard AC power without special filtering
requirements. The APTs must perform in the typical electromagnetic
environment associated with an active military airfield. Integrated
Logistics Support (ILS), including a one year Interim Contractor
Support (ICS) period, is required. This support will include spare
parts support, documentation, configuration management, and inventory
management. Contractor support for the correction of software problems
will also be required. It is the Government's intention to release the
solicitation and any subsequent amendments via the Internet. The
solicitation and any amendments will be available on the NAVAIR Home
