The (DRAFT) Statement of Work, is included for informational purposes only to outline the broad scope of the known envisioned requirement. The Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) is the FAA foundation for the long term transformation of the National Airspace System (NAS). NextGen will leverage new technology to enhance aviation safety while improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the airspace. Such technology will utilize the automation capabilities of both ground and airborne automation system operations in a collaborative manner with shared responsibilities allocated between pilots and air traffic managers. A significant amount of research analysis has been identified and must be completed to ensure operational human factors issues related to NextGen operational procedure development are identified, understood, and addressed. High fidelity simulation of the impacts of NextGen programs on cockpit operations is an invaluable tool in providing insight into these problems and helps to identify issues that may occur as a result of changes to stakeholders ™ roles and responsibilities. AFS-400 (Office of Flight Standards Training Office) provides cockpit simulation capabilities to multiple lines of business, both within the FAA and external to the agency. The Airbus 330-200 (A330) convertible to an Airbus 320 (A320) Flight Training Device and Boeing 737-800 (B737) full-flight simulators are used to support evaluations of current operations as well as providing a platform to support the evaluation of the airborne operator impacts to proposed NextGen concepts and solution sets. The simulators must undergo technical refresh and equipment upgrades to continue serving its purpose in analyzing any proposed near term operational improvement impacts on cockpit operations, as well as, the future transformations to both air and ground operations that will be brought about by NextGen enhanced services and operational capabilities. The (DRAFT) Statement of Work (SOW) details replacement of the Visual Systems for the FAA ™s Airbus 320/330 and Boeing 737-800 Flight Simulator Training Devices (FSTD). This includes the Image Generators, Projectors, Alignment Tools, Enhanced Visual System, Visual Modeling System, Traffic Generation System, Installation/Integration, and any training required for the new systems.
