Campbell, KY. The intent of the Industry Day and draft documents is to provide potential offerors and interested parties to the SOFAST-E II solicitation W900KK-19-R-0054 the opportunity to attend a briefing on the SOFAST-E II requirements, review draft solicitation sections B, L and M and to view a sample of existing systems expected to be covered under the SOFAST-E II contract. The SOFAST-E II contract vehicle will establish the SOFAST-E II technical, planning, and managerial efforts required in support of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) [SOAR (A)] at Ft. Campbell, KY. In support of 160th SOAR (A), the contractor will be required to design, build, test, modify, and field capabilities in support of the Combat Mission Simulators (CMSs) and Combat Flight Training Device (CFTD). The support includes all peripheral equipment and capabilities that support live, virtual, and constructive training including the Mission Rehearsal Exercise Training System (MRETS), Mission Rehearsal Operations Center (MROC), Storage Area Network (SAN), Desk Top Trainers (DTT), and associated systems. The 160th SOAR (A) flight simulation and mission rehearsal facilities presently use a mix of simulators, simulation applications, and mission rehearsal systems that exist at various stages of concurrency and compatibility with Regimental operational capabilities and configurations. The Army Special Operations Aviation (ARSOA) flight training systems, flight simulation, and mission rehearsal master plan requires that these simulators, simulations, and mission rehearsal systems be capable of supporting current mission profiles and stay current with operational systems enhancements and upgrades. The objective of this on-going effort is to fully support 160th SOAR (A) training operations. CMSs, CFTDs, and related devices must remain concurrency with respective aircraft platforms.
