ENGAGEMENT SKILLS TRAINER The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division on behalf of the Army Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation Command, will award over the period of next year various delivery orders under Basic Ordering Agreement N61339-99-G-0001 to ECC International, Inc. of Orlando, FL for modification of the Engagement Skills Trainer and/or to create new variations of the training system. These consist of Preplanned Product Improvements (P3I) and improvements in training capability. The EEC training device is designed to provide the potential for system and subsystem component upgrade ability and growth potential relative to P3I and other changes to support the following areas of modification: a. Changes to any or all weapons and weapons gunnery marksmanship programs, including draft tasks for boresighting, zeroing, and engaging targets with weapon mounted laser aiming devices and night vision goggles. b. Changes in future technology and hardware. Examples such as: new objective weaponry equipment to be stated in the Small Arms Master Plan; defilade firing; new tripods; improved night sights; full solution fire control; day optical sights; thermal weapon sights; and compatibility with Land Warrior Task Force XXI Land Warrior. c. Modeling and simulation of other weapons and munitions (e.g. Multipurpose Individual Munition (MPIM) Short Range Antitank Weapon (SRAW), AK47, G3, etc). d. High Level Architecture (HLA) distributed training implementation. e. Deployable Systems. f. Joint Service System Modifications. g. Unique Training Scenarios. h. Unique EST Networkable Subsystems. i. Engagement Skills Trainer Unique Facilities Modifications. j. Foreign Sales Customer System Modifications. k. Foreign Sales Language and Unique Requirements. l. Modeling and simulation of Optical and electro-optical and electronic systems including weapon sites, binoculars, night vision and infrared vision. m. Modeling and simulation of any new types of hardware that infantry or military police may require. n. Improvements in the trainee's firing area including adding realism to the firing line or surrounding environment, improving the realism, fidelity, reliability, maintainability of weapons. o. Modeling and simulation of New visual environments including new backgrounds, targets, behaviors and special effects p. Modeling and simulation of live return fire including all aspects of "take cover" training q. Improvements in the EST documentation or other support for instructors, or other personnel involved with the EST such as personnel performing set-up/tear-down, operation or maintenance. r. Improved visual quality and sound quality including such things as resolution, field of view, brightness, contrast, sub-pixel antialiasing, anisotropic filtering, skeletal deformation models, etc. s. Improved authoring and editing capability t. Incorporation of new training capability such as laser target designation for indirect fire in the collective mode or such as forward observer training. u. Incorporation of Mission Preview and Mission Rehearsal and battlefield familiarization training capability v. Incorporation of advanced behavior modeling such as artificially intelligent surface forces. w. Changes in Logistics support to adjust for changing program needs. x. Incorporation of new or modifications to existing hardware and software to adjust for changing program needs such as to improve system accuracy, system flexibility, system usability, system efficiency, system reliability, system transportability, system maintainability, etc. y. Modeling and simulation of indirect fire (e.g. Artillery, mines, air dispersed munitions, etc) POCs for this William E. Kitterman, Contracting Officer at (407) 380 8171.
