ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY RESPONDENTS TO THIS TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY AND WILL BE NOT BE DISTRIBUTED OUTSIDE OF THE GOVERNMENT. The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) Orlando, FL is seeking input from industry about a contemplated future shift in standards related to aspects of synthetic environment source data management for training system procurements. �This shift could affect future procurements and NAWCTSD is attempting to determine the extent to which the industry base could be impacted by the change. �NAWCTSD has developed the following questions to assist in making an informed decision. �While these questions are not tied to a particular contemplated procurement, feedback from industry on this matter is very important. 1.�� �Are you currently involved with the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) in support of the Common Database (CDB) standard? �If you are involved, please expand on your role and involvement. 2.�� �Are you currently involved with the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) Foundation GEOINT 3D (FG3D) CDB efforts? �If you are involved, please expand on your role and involvement. 3.�� �NAWCTSD is considering adopting the CDB standard for all of our future database requirements.� ��� �What do you like about CDB and what are your concerns? ��� �Do you have any comments, questions or concerns with this potential decision to move to CDB? If so, please elaborate on the potential impact to your future proposals, database development efforts, database reuse, and system integration efforts going forward. 4.�� �Do you currently have the ability to publish your developed databases to CDB format?� ��� �Do you use proprietary tools? ��� �What commercially available tools do you utilize? ��� �What tools have you developed? ��� �Can you compile CDB source off-line to support legacy systems/formats? �If so, can you elaborate on the process and legacy formats that you support? 5.�� �Since CDB can be used both as a repository and for runtime publishing:� ��� �Do you currently have the capability to publish from CDB in real time? �Have you developed runtime publishers? If so, please elaborate. ��� �If so, for which type of output (OTW/NVG, Sensor, CGF/SAF, Radar)? ��� �Have you implemented this approach on delivered training devices? �If so, which ones? ��� �Are you aware of any performance concerns using CDB for runtime publishing? �If so, can you provide your view of potential solutions? 6.�� �Please provide a technical point-of-contact for any follow up questions and discussion. ��� �Name ��� �Role/Title ��� �Email Address ��� �Phone Number ELIGIBILITY As there is no requirement, there is no applicable NAICS code. �However, this request for information is being posted under NAICS 333318 (Other Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing) to ensure it reaches the NAWCTSD training system vendor base. Likewise, the Product Service Code (PSC) is noted as 6910 (TRAINING AIDS) to reach the NAWCTSD training system vendor base. SUBMISSION DETAILS This request for information is not a request for competitive proposals. It is solely to solicit feedback from industry.
