Advanced Level Training for up to 5 trainees shall expand on the basic level by adding specialized scanning and unique system configurations. Example specialized scans include equipped participants, participants interacting with objects (e.g. Integrated Headborne system including but not limited to a Helmet with NVG/maxillofacial protection or Body armor with neck protector), participants in seats, on boxes or other objects, participants head moving through or in the scan space. Advanced training shall include how to configure the system to best capture the unique scans. Advanced training may take place on-site or at the vendor's facility. 2.6. Annual Maintenance for five years consisting of on-site calibration, system hardware and software inspection and report, cost estimate of any repair or replacement, scheduled software and hardware updates. 2.7. Customer Support including technical assistance with the system and software applications, problem diagnosis and resolution assistance. The technical support/assistance must allow system update/patch for a standalone system. 2.8.
