A -- SHOOT THROUGH OBSCURATION (STO) AND TRAINING SCORING SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION SOL NAWCTSD BAA 96-1 DUE 061599 POC STO TPOC is Mr. Jim Bostick, (407) 380-4181 WEB: Business orpportunities,,Request for Proposal (all), http://ntsc.navy.mil/contract/procure.htm. E-MAIL: Contracting Officer RiddleRH@navair.navy.mil, BostickJH@navair.navy.mil. Technical dialog only. Those interested are encouraged to contact the STO Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) within 15 days to determine technical capability prior to submission of a white paper. The STO TPOC is Mr. Jim Bostick, (407) 380-4181. No solicitation shall be released. The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD), U.S. Marine Corps Simulation Office, U.S. Army Simulation, Training and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM), and Air Force Agency for Modeling and Simulation (AFAMS), all of Orlando, FL, have comprehensive modeling, simulation, instrumentation and training systems responsibilities ranging from research and technology base development through systems acquisition and life cycle support. The missions of these organizations support a broad customer basis including all military services, DoD, and non-DoD organizations. This synopsis seeks the identification and demonstration of potential Pairing Technology Solutions for Arms and Weapon Fire Simulation through Obscuration, which is covered under Topic 2-E (Weapon Fire Simulation) of Part III (Research Interests) of the NAWCTSD Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) NAWCTSD 96-1, previously synopsized. The Marine Corps is interested in K-Band based pairing technology capable of demonstrating target acquisition and hit determination of targets accurately through obscure environments. The Marine Corps is prepared to sponsor up to $750K for one or more technology tests and demonstrations to evaluate possible STO solutions that address Marine Corps combat vehicle and squads level combat engagement. Obscurants include dust, natural and man-made smoke, fog-oil, rain, fog, snow, foliage, glass, and fabrics. Weapons desired to be simulated for STO include small arms, and ground, aviation and maritime weapon platforms. These arms and weapons will operate in open terrain and urban environments (both external and internal to structures) interacting with targets at ranges from 3 meters to in excess of 3.5 kilometers. The training scoring systemwill be used for recording and after action review. The system design must consider that the end use will include Reserve home station force-on-force tactical training and must therefore be portable and stand-alone. Posted 05/03/99 (W-SN326893).
