R -- Anti Submarine Warfare (ASW) Virtual At Sea Training (VAST) Mission Rehearsal Tactical Team Tra (OB1919341) (2007-08-21)

Description
a. The overall objective of the Anti Submarine Warfare (ASW) Virtual At
Sea Training (VAST) Mission Rehearsal Tactical Team Trainer (MRT3) program is
to produce training systems that will provide single platform and integrated
ASW training. Training systems may be required for any ASW platform and
capability deployed or under development during the period of performance of
this contract. The training systems shall be readily transportable and
deployable. Agile processes within an Integrated Product and Process
Development (IPPD) framework will be utilized to meet emerging requirements in
a timely manner without sacrificing quality and cost effectiveness.

1.0 Engineering Objectives:
a. Design, develop, integrate, test, deliver, install and support a high
functional fidelity training system for various ASW platforms and systems.
b. Design the training systems to be free of safety hazards to students
and operation and maintenance personnel
c. Design the training system to be unpacked, correctly set up and
powered on by two technicians within fifteen minutes. Design to minimize
storage space in the packed and unpacked configuration.
d. Design the training systems to be interoperable within the Navy
Continuous Training Environment (NCTE).
e. Design the training systems for compatibility with anticipated changes
in commercial products such as operating systems and computer components.
f. Design the training systems to be declassified on a daily basis and
for shipping for deployment.
g. Design the training systems to be scalable.
h. Employ total ownership cost analysis to determine the optimal mix of
common and unique capabilities and configurations for the planned and
developed platforms.
i. Leverage from the MRT3 prototype training systems for SH-60B and SH-
60F as a means to control development cost and maintain fidelity.
j. Design a method of providing existing training systems updates while
minimizing baselines.
k. Use open computer architectures and high-level software languages for
all computational and data processing computer systems to the maximum extent
feasible. Where feasible reuse current prototype training systems software
baseline and utilize commercial and non-developmental items (CaNDI) software
applications to reduce developmental cost, shorten lead-time and reduce
overall life cycle costs.
l. Develop and document procedures for managing system engineering,
software and hardware development. Manage the MRT3 program in accordance with
these procedures.
m. Provide engineering data in a timely manner which supports government
insight into the system development.
n. Provide engineering data required for training system modifications by
the Government or a third party.
o. Provide engineering data which defines the hardware and the software
requirements, installation and verification procedures for a third party to
procure additional units and install the software for delivery without
software modifications.
p. Provide support to the fleet to integrate and employ MRT3 training
systems.
Provide support for delivered MRT3 training systems.
