COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF APRIL 19,1999 PSA#2327Naval Air Warfare Center TSD, Code 257, 12350 Research Parkway, Orlando
FL 32826-3275 D -- SEXTANT VIRTUAL PLANNING TOOL W/MODIFICATIONS AND TECHNICAL
SUPPORT SOL N61339-99-T-0007 DUE 050599 POC Larry Duncan, Purchasing
Agent, 407/380-4090 E-MAIL: Larry Duncan, NAWCTSD, Code 25738,
duncanla@navair.navy.mil. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for
commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart
12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this
notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; a quote is
being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.
Solicitation N61339-98-T-0007 is issued as a request for quote and
incorporates the provisions and clauses in effect through Federal
Acquisition Circular 97-11. The solicitation shall be awarded on a sole
source basis to Object Raku Technology, 5720 Sherwood Blvd. Delta, BC
V4L2C 6. The SIC Code for this solicitation is 7372 with annual
receipts of 18M. The following items are required: CLIN 0001, Sextant
Virtual Planning Tool V2 W/Modifications, Qty: 4; UI: Ea. CLIN 0002, On
Site Technical Support for a period of 12 Months. The following
statement of work applies: Item A: SEXTANT/Virtual Planning Tool
version 2.0 including features existing on the evaluation copies
presently held by the Army'sDismounted Battlespace Battle Lab.
Additional functions and improvements to the system based on feedback
received from the personnel at the Dismounted Battlespace Battle Lab
include: Mission Planning Wizard, Orders browser, Integration &
synchronization of Orders Matrix, Salute Report within Intelligence
Sightings browser, 2D/3D split screen view option, 2D/3D interactivity
including but not limited to, "You are here" display Line-of-Sight
viewpoint in the 3D viewer as defined by the user in the 2D. Passing
graphic overlays from 2D to 3D, Attribute windows on objects in 3D,
Automated building and tree-line entry to 3D environment, Palette of
planning graphics, Increased 3D manual transfer of 2D objects, Hover
help. Freeze Frame & Print from 2D or 3D. Minimum hardware requirements
to run the above system are Pentium 90, 32 MG RAM, 1 GiG Hard drive.
Provide training in battlefield engagements that are modular and allow
the user multiple scenario selection so that as new information or
data about a siteis determined, the user can enter it and use it in the
mission plan and rehearsal. Improve the integration of 3D ActiveX
control (via the Superscape 3D control ViScape) to provide 3D
functionality; support data display on lower end computing systems
(e.g., personal computers) and over the internet; allow users to
quickly develop a mission scenario around one or more building objects
critical to mission success, and support the modeling of other items
of interest such as vegetation. Item B. Integrate ArcView MapObjects
ActiveX controls into the SEXTANT/Virtual Planning Tool to achieve
interoperability with output from and input to mapping and other
geospatial systems and data hosted in ArcView 3.1 or stored in ArcView
3.1 formats. The ArcView integration will provide a high degree of
interoperability between Sextant and ArcView based systems since the
MapObjects API which Object Raku Technology will use is also the
programming engine for ArcView 3.1 In particular, ESRI (the ArcView
developer) used the MapObjects API to build ArcView 3.1. This
integration will produce the following levels of interoperability:
Provide the ability to run an ArcView viewer in a window of
SEXTANT/VPT. Use the ArcView viewer to read any ARC/Info coverage file
(a directory of files which includes .adf and .adx and various
indexing and information files), or ".shp" file; read various raster
formats including GeoTIFF and ERDAS imagine images; and set up a map
with available layers of interest (e.g., elevations, vegetation,
transportation lines). Enable the printing of maps. Provide the ability
to use a map provided in the ArcView window as one of the backgrounds
available to the user in SEXTANT's 2D view display. Output planning
graphics only as a ".shp" file laid out as a set of measured polygons.
Note that only the ARC/Info program can output the coverage files;
others, including ArcView, can only view them. Read a building layer
".shp" file to automate adding buildings to the SEXTANT planning map.
This assumes the file is laid out as aset of measured polygons with an
associated attribute table (.dbf) as specified in the shape file
standard to include a building height (in meters), building corner
geographic location (first point of polygon), building identifier, and
building type. Provide the SEXTANT system the ability to access the
ARC/Info data provided for the MOUT ACTD Army Experiment 4 and use this
data (or any data saved in similar ArcView formats) to provide detailed
background maps on which to plan missions. Depending on how the data is
stored, elevation data may be available only as a layer of contour
lines or it may be available as elevation values at geographic
locations. Item C: One full-time person to support
experimentation/demonstration during the period 6 May 1999 through 30
April 2000. Item D: Training program & package to ensure the highest
level of user comfort & competence using the SEXTANT/Virtual Planning
Tool version 2.0. The length of the training session for the user will
be between 3 and 5 days including testing. Training program and
revised user-guide will be implemented as appropriate to an on-line
help reference. Deliverables: STRICOM will receive 4 licenses for
SEXTANT/Virtual Planning Tool, support and training for AE6. Licenses
include listed upgrades to the software. Support required from STRICOM:
Access to users to facilitate rapid prototyping efforts. Receiving
feedback early and often on the user interface and software
functionality will provide the users with a system that will more
likely fulfill their needs. Object Raku Technology will entertain
incorporation of legacy GOTS which supports the functions required in
the system. This software must be provided if it is to be included and
may include but is not limited to implementations of the Common
Warfighting Symbology reader, Mapping Toolkits, Communications and
Message Text formatting Packages. Item C: One full-time person to
support experimentation/demonstration during the period 6 May 1999
through 30 April 2000 to include Airfare, Ground transportation,
Accommodations & meals. Delivery and acceptance shall be in accordance
with the terms of the contract. The following FAR/DFARS provisions and
