B -- COMPUTER SIMULATED STUDIES ON THE BEHAVIORAL EFFECTS OF A NEW NON-LETHAL WEAPON SOL F41622-99-R-0006 DUE 010299 POC Capt Bryan Miller E-MAIL: Click here to contact the contracting representative, bryan.miller@brooks.af.mil. Brooks AFB is acquiring on a sole source basis with Southwest Research Institute pursuant to FAR 6.302-3(a)(2)(ii). The government intends to issue a Firm-Fixed-Price contract (FFP) to participate in the Tri-Service studies on the behavioral and biological effects on a new non-lethal weapon (NLW). To aid decision makers in making the difficult choices in acquiring the best NLW for operational forces, computer modeling and simulation (M&S) is being used to evaluate their utility. The Joint Conflict and Tactical Simulation (JCATS) is used DoD-wide to conduct simulation exercises to train troops and evaluate combat tactics. The 311 HSW/XRS will use JCATS as the analytical tool to evaluate the military utility of the NLW in various combat and peacekeeping scenarios. Two scenarios will be built that includes the NLW as part of the defending force's weaponry. The contractor will assist the 311 HSW/XRS staff in creation of the scenarios, execution of the the simulation exercise, and analysis of the results. Development of scenarios and presentation of results will require the contractor to travel to the home organization of each of the scenario participants on two occasions, for a total of four trips. After completion of the simulations, the contractor will help develop reports detailing the analysis of that simulation exercise. Notes 22 and 26 apply. Posted 12/22/98 (W-SN282859). (0356)
