TRAINING DEVICE SOFTWARE PACKAGE FOR THE M1A1 TANK Proposed Sole Source Award to Research Triangle Institute, 3040 Cornwallis Road, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709-2194. The Government requires update of the M1A1 Virtual Maintenance Trainer (VMAT) software package currently in use at Fort Knox, KY. Several issues exist with the current system. They include (1) Year 2000 compliance, (2) current supportability, (3) performance, and (4) user friendliness. In addition, the training lesson content must be updated to reflect the latest version of the Technical Manuals provided by Fort Knox. The following list summarizes the desired capabilities: 1. Update lessons so that references, descriptions, and procedures match M1A1 Technical Manuals (March 1996, Change 3 for the -20s and September 1990, Change 12 for the -10s). 2. Update the Operating System, Visual Graphics, Authoring System, and Software Executable media to currently supportable, Y2K compliant, and commercially available versions. 3. Upon completion, the training software package is required to be deployable, user friendly, and high performance when executing on the targeted host platform. 4. Delivery of 5 demonstration disks. No specifications are available. The period of performance is 60 days. POC for this effort is Suanne Voltz, Contract Specialist, (407)380-4163, or William Kitterman, Contracting Officer, (407)380-8171. Posted 03/05/99 (W-SN305521).
