Interested sources must submit evidence that they can provide managerial and technical support for the Brawler air combat model in the following areas: 1) Model Enhancements; 2) Model and Database Support; 3) In-house Study Support; 4) Configuration Control; 5) Programs Management; 6) Documentation; and 7) Training. The contractor must: 1) have in-depth knowledge of Brawler Version 6.3 sub-routines, system architecture, and interface protocols; 2) be able to quickly answer all analytical questions about the model and its use; 3) provide continuity of current and historical databases, approaches, and results; 4) be able to develop and run Brawler on SUN and Silicon Graphics work-stations; 5) have in-depth knowledge of C++, FORTRAN, UNIX and VMS; and 6) be able to train new users to operate Brawler on the users' systems.
