69 -- LIGHT ASSAULT/ATTACK RECONFIGURABLE COMBAT MISSION SIMULATOR (LASAR CMS) POC Sally Payne, Contract Specialist (407) 380 4027, William E. Kitterman, Contracting Officer (407) 380-8171 The Army is requesting information from industry to assist in the development of an AH/MH-6M LASAR CMS. The simulator will be required to support individual training and a mission rehearsal capability interoperable with other U.S. Special Operation Command (USSOCOM) Mission Rehearsal Systems. Concepts from both commercial off the shelf and/or new developments are requested. The Army is requesting rough, "ballpark" estimates for unit and life cycle cost based on the acquisition of one simulator. The required characteristics are a full-fidelity, reconfigurable cockpit replication of both AH and MH aircraft in form, fit, and function (including in the AH weapons firing and effects). The image generator (IG) will be capable of rendering a high fidelity out the window scene; correlated sensor simulation and support the field of view of the AH/MH-6M aircraft. The IG will be compatible with data bases generated by USSOCOM and/or the 160th SOAR (A) Planning and Rehearsal Information Support Database GenerationSystem. Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) and High Level Architecture (HLA) networking capability with all other compatible USSOCOM training/rehearsal devices is also required. Associated subsystems include a high performance motion system, digital control loading, high fidelity flight and performance model, a threat modeling system, an environmental modeling system, communications, observation, data recording, electronic combat environment, and weapon systems. An Industry conference will be conducted at the 160th SOAR(A) Command at Ft Campbell, KY on 20 April 1999, to discuss and refine the requirements. Information briefings will be conducted by 160th SOAR(A) command, MH-AH-6 Subject Mater Experts, and STRICOM personnel. POCs for this conference are MAJ. N. Thurgood at (407) 384 5224, e-mail neil_thurgood@stricom.army.mil Sally Payne, (407) 380 4027, e-mail sally-payne@stricom.army.mil. Request to attend the industry conference should be received no later than 1 April 1999. It is expected that draftrequirement documents will be posted to the STRICOM web page in the next 30 days. (www.stricom.army.mil). THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract, nor do they incur any liability or obligation on the Government to take any further action.
