The following Statement of Work applies: 1.0 Background: The United States Coast Guard is replacing its aging fleet of buoy tenders with new, technologically advanced buoy tenders to work Aids-to-Navigation (AToN) and other missions more efficiently. Complex systems combined with "Optimally crewed" vessels require USCG personnel to be proficient in the operation of the onboard systems. In particular, a requirement for additional training in the use and operation of the Electronic Chart -- Precise Integrated Navigation System (ECPINS) Aid-TO-Navigation (ATON), which is an enhanced version of the Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS), has been determined. The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division has assisted the Coast Guard with the evaluation of the requirement and has identified a commercial firm which can provide the required training system. 2.0 Introduction: This document defines performance requirements of the ECPINS Training System (ETS). A separate document, the Statement of Work, identifies tasks as well as roles and responsibilities of the USCG, NAWCTSD, and the selected Contractor who will provide the ECPINS Training System to the USCG. 3.0 Performance Objectives: The following paragraphs identify the performance requirements and objectives of the ECPINS Training System (ETS). The ETS consists of 2 subsystems defined as a Student Training System (STS) and an Instructor Station.
