The attached DRAFT RFP describes engineering and technical support services required for the 5.4.3 Integrated Battlespace Simulation and Test, Simulation Division (SD), which provides full spectrum engineering, technical, and support services for Battlespace simulation and distributed simulation. The NAWCAD 5.4.3 IBST, Simulation Division's responsibility includes providing simulation products for requirements analysis, test and evaluation, and training applications across DoD and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers. The principal Battlespace simulation product developed and maintained by the Simulation Division is the Next Generation Threat System (NGTS). NGTS is a synthetic environment generator used to support training, testing, analysis, and research and development. NGTS models threat and friendly aircraft, ground and surface platforms, and their corresponding weapons and subsystems. NGTS is currently installed in multiple DoD training systems, distributed exercise centers, as well as international military training environments. Other distributed simulation products include the Architecture Management Integration Environment (AMIE), and the Joint Integrated Mission Model (JIMM). Support is also provided for standard protocols enabling battlespace simulation that include Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS), High Level Architecture (HLA), and the Test and Training Enabling Architecture (TENA). It is anticipated that the final RFP will be released towards the beginning of 1st QTR FY 19.
