- Description
- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION The 47th Contracting Flight is seeking information from industry for the purpose of conducting market research. This notice does not obligate the government to award a contract or any other type of contractual document. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) NOTICE ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP). NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. Overview/Purpose/ Description of Procurement: The 47th Civil Engineer Squadron (47 CES) is seeking contractors capable of providing an interactive Incident Command (IC) Management training simulator for Type III emergency responses in a virtual reality setting. The scenario must trainer the student on proper incident command procedures by directing a team to mitigate the emergency. The scenario requires the student to use critical thinking, decision making and communication abilities of the incident commander. The innovative system must use a realistic 3D interactive program, designed to simulate the Norma Brown Simulator, which interfaces with the user to provide a safe and reactive training environment.� Scope of Effort: Simulation Environment. ����������� The simulators need to provide physics-based simulation of fires, smoke, spills, hazardous materials leaks, plumes, and firefighting agents that responds correctly to firefighting actions. Real life actions of response vehicles and personnel, like connecting to a fire hydrant and donning protective gear. Realistic effects of evacuation, firefighting and rescue actions with triage cards for injuries. Directional sounds of the incident and weather conditions that affect the fire, smoke and hazardous material plumes.� When the trainee makes decisions the scenario must react in real-time to the commands and actions. Software requirements. The Contractor will: 1. Provide Advanced Disaster Management Simulator (ADMS), ADMS-AIRBASE�� or equal. - Portable system with rugged carrying cases - A virtual reality-training platform that simulates a United States Air Force Base. - Unscripted and open-ended emergency response scenarios. - Physics-based simulation of fires, smoke, spills, hazardous materials leaks, plumes, and firefighting agents. Example: Fires respond correctly to firefighting actions. The application of firefighting agents look and behave realistically. - Fire trucks that carry firefighting agents, like water, and can connect to fire hydrants. - Fire fighting water consumption fluctuates based on the type of hose and the fire fighting action. Fire fighting vehicles can run out of water. - Fire Fighting crews: -- Execute actions in real time -- Deploy with the vehicle, and can drive from the fire station to the incident. -- Able to wear personal protective clothing, deploy fire hoses, fight fires, rescue people, place and climb ladders, rescue by turntable ladder, deploy lights, walk inside buildings, extricate people from vehicles, cover spills. - Medical Emergency Triage and Categories: -- In scenario casualties can be assigned 1 of 4 triage categories displaying an industry standard triage card; --- T1-IMMEDIATE: Life threatening injuries must be treated within first hour. Good chance of survival. --- T2-DELAYED: Delay in treatment, can wait a few hours. Stabilization. --- T3-MINIMAL: Walking, treatment may be delayed for several hours. --- T4-EXPECTANT: Significant resources needed to treat patient. Signs of impending death. -- Ability for fire fighting crews to move casualties to a casualty collection point, and then transported by ambulance, bus, or medical helicopter to a hospital based on the scenario built. - Vehicles and people do not collide, or drive/walk through other objects. - Directional sounds emanated from hazards, agents, or traffic based on the scenario built. - Realistic weather conditions that affect the fire, smoke, and hazardous material plumes. -- Ability to select wind direction, wind speed, rain, snow, and a selection of cloud cover. -- Ability to change wind during the incident scenario. -- Ability to set time of day with appropriate day/dusk/night time conditions. -- Scenario time changes in real-time as the incident scenario progresses, including day/dusk/night conditions. Trainees make decisions based on what they observe on-scene in ADMS, and the simulator reacts in real-time to their commands and actions. Ability to record entire incident scenario and document trainee�s commands as they occur, providing the facilitator the necessary information to conduct a comprehensive debriefing at the end of the training session. - Permanent software license. No annual software license fees. - System Training for up to six instructors. - 1 Year Warranty. - Program software installed on a computer with a permanent software licenses. - Program software should include at a minimum: -- Scenario Generator. -- Scene Builder. -- Vehicle and Aircraft Library. -- Observation and Scoring Tool. -- After Action Review Tool. -- Virtual Military Airbase Environment with Incident Locations. SCENARIO GENERATOR - Scenario Generator that enables users to create and customize scenarios by selecting variable elements and implementing them into the incident scenario. - Ability for scenario to cover at least a 150 mile radius-area around the incident scenario location. - Variable elements should include a wide range of objects like people, casualties, traffic, weather conditions (wind, fog, rain, snow, cloud cover) time of day, fire, fuel spills and explosions as either time-based and/or trigger-based events. -- Time-Based Events: Events built into the incident scenario to automatically activate as the incident progresses. Example, a vehicle automatically re-locating from point A to Point B at the start of incident scenario + 60 seconds. -- Trigger-Based events:� Events that occur based on actions within the incident scenario or can� be injected at any time during the incident by a facilitator. Example: An explosion occurring when the first unit arrives on the scene, regardless of deployment time. - Ability to name, save, edite, and re-use developed scenarios for future training sessions. SCENE BUILDER - Ability for the user to build an incident scenario using the following functions; -- Add textures, signs, and billboards to buildings and SML objects. -- Add a panoramic image to a scene. -- Play pre-recorded turn-out videos for responding commanders. -- Add sounds like weather, hazards, traffic sounds, alarms, voices, radio messages, etc. -- Inject news flashes for Emergency Operations Center (EOC) updates. -- Import images, video, and sounds into the simulation. --- Images and video billboards can be selected and placed into the virtual environment either as freestanding objects, or attached as textures to infrastructure (like walls, floors, ceilings, and roofs, etc) and Standard MlLanguage (SML) objects (like trucks, signs, etc.). -- Place sound objects in the virtual environment and played as environmental or directional sounds, either a single time or continuously. VEHICLE and AIRCRAFT LIBRARY - Library elements and objects must be 3�Dimensional (3D) used to build the incident scenario. - At least two types of objects: Static Props and Active Props -- Static Props: Including but not limited to piles of sand, fences, barrels, containers, and piles of debris with passive functionality. -- Active Props: Including but not limited to Aircraft, cars, and trucks with active functionality. - Props must have physics-based simulation capabilities. Example: a car that can burn and its� occupants suffer injuries. - Ability to add objects and elements at any time during an incident scenario. - The 3D objects, including cars, tanker trucks, barrels, containers and piles of debris each offer specific settings and functionality. - Library must consist of, at a minimum, the following vehicle and aircraft types, quantities and functionality within the incident scenario: CATEGORY QTY.
