- Description
- The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Orlando ? TSD intends to issue a solicitation for proposals to provide advanced, state-of-the-art Augmented Reality-based firefighting training capabilities at New Hampshire Fire Academy and US Naval Support Activity La Maddalena, Italy. The specific requirements are detailed within Statement of Objectives 030052, dated 29 April 2003 below. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and submit technical information and technical capability statement in response to this notice. Proprietary data in any responses will be protected where so designated. Any questions about this notice, please contact Greg Dougherty, Code 25331 at 407-380-8419 or Gregory.Dougherty@navy.mil Statement of Objectives 030052, 29 April 2003 For Augmented-Reality Training Capabilities 1. Overall Objectives The overall objectives of the Augmented Reality-based firefighting training program are: a. To provide advanced, state-of-the-art Augmented Reality-based firefighting training capabilities at New Hampshire Fire Academy and U.S. Naval Support Activity La Maddalena, Italy. b. To ensure that the above mentioned training capabilities are developed to provide effective training for areas of damage control, fire fighting and HAZMAT training capabilities and all training support to improve and enhance realistic firefighting training at the New Hampshire and Navy facilities. The offeror shall provide technical maintenance support and shall obtain training feedback from instructors and trainees. The training capabilities are intended to provide Army Reservists, National Guards and Navy personnel specialized training to maintain a high state of proficiency in: (1) operating the Augmented Reality training system and its various associated supports, (2) executing effective Damage Control and HAZMAT scenarios, (3) recognizing Live Fire situations and how to attack them, and (4) executing correct Damage Control and HAZMAT techniques. c. To ensure the implementation of a comprehensive Systems Engineering process designed to translate the performance requirements specified in NAVAIR Orlando Training System Requirements Document (TSRD) 030081, as appropriate into a training system design solution that meets program objectives. The following elements should be considered, as a minimum, for the proposed Systems Engineering process: (1) Reliability (2) Maintainability (3) Quality (4) System Safety (5) Electrostatic Discharge Control d. To ensure the use of Commercial and Non-Developmental Items (CaNDI) to the maximum extent practicable in fulfilling the requirements of the contract. e. To ensure the implementation of a Human Factors engineering process to develop effective human-machine interfaces based on the capabilities and limitations of the training system operators, maintainers, and trainees. 2. Contract Objectives The contract objectives for the Augmented Reality-based training capabilities include the following: a. Facilitate Government insight into contract activities. Establish relationships with Government personnel that will enable continuing insight into all contract activities; provide real-time, reliable, and user-friendly electronic access to all data produced under the contract; periodically review contract status; and demonstrate readiness to complete significant events. 3. Engineering Objectives The Engineering objectives for the Augmented Reality-based training capabilities include the following: a. Design a training system that: (1) Provides advanced augmented reality-based fire fighting, damage control and HAZMAT training capabilities to New Hampshire Fire Academy and to U.S. Naval Support Activity in La Maddalena, Italy. (2) Meets the performance requirements specified in TSRD No. 030081, (3) Is free of safety and health hazards to students, instructors, and operation and maintenance personnel, (4) Is expandable, (5) Allows for new technology insertion, (6) Is environmentally considerate (during construction, installation, operation, and disposal), (7) Is supportable throughout the system?s projected life, (8) Has low life cycle support costs, (9) Is electromagnetically compatible with its own components and the facility/environment in which the training system operates, b. Develop the training system using current commercial techniques and standards. c. Make maximum use of commercial products. The order of preference for products is: (1) Commercial products, (2) Non-Developmental Items (NDI), and (3) Trainer Peculiar Equipment (TPE). d. Install the system with a minimum impact to other systems and equipment that may be located in the designated facility. e. Utilize existing and emerging operational/tactical system software models (ex. Environmental models) 4. Program Management Objectives The program management objectives for the Augmented-Reality training capabilities include the following: a. Establish an effective and efficient program management system that provides accurate and timely schedule and performance information throughout the program. b. Establish a government/contractor Integrated Product Team (IPT) partnership that is beneficial to achieving program goals and reduces the overall level of government oversight required. c. Obtain sufficient rights in technical data, both software and hardware, such that the Government can maintain and upgrade the training system using Government personnel and third party contractors. d. Propose the most comprehensive and cost effective Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) tailored to the proposed design solution. If the Government specifies a preliminary or minimum CDRL, the objective is to use that CDRL as a baseline for offerors to propose a tailored CDRL for their design. e. Use electronic technologies to reduce paper copies of program information generated throughout the life of this contract.
