Analysis of Mobility Platform (AMP)

The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) is conducting market research and desires input to determine the availability and technical capability of the business community to sustain and further develop the modeling and simulation environment for performing transportation analysis in support of Analysis of Mobility Platform (AMP) requirement. USTRANSCOM has a requirement for the continued development and support of AMP. The purpose of this market research is to receive industry input to assist in developing the Government's acquisition strategy in support of AMP. AMP is a transportation modeling and simulation framework used to obtain an end-to-end simulation of the Defense Transportation System (DTS). The AMP-Port Analysis Tool (PAT) is an analysis and decision support tool to assist Combatant Command planners, Joint Staff, Office of Secretary of Defense (OSD), United States Army's Center for Army Analysis (CAA), and USTRANSCOM analysts in refining transportation enabler requirements during Time-Phased Force and Deployment Data (TPFDD) development processes and to provide throughput analysis for airports and seaports.
