Answer:1 A SPG-9 Replica needs to be recognizable as a SPG 9 to a ground force or a flying platform thru an aircraft sensor. It does not need to be a perfect replica, but it needs to contain features that make it distinguishable as a SPG 9. For example, I have attached an image. While it is of plastic, it is still distinguishable as a SPG-9. It cannot just be some cylindrical tube with no distinguishable features that goes bang. The same applies for all other models. Question:2 What level of fidelity is required to "Simulate weapons fire that is visually unique to that system..."? Will any specifications of sound levels, frequency distribution, muzzle flash, temperature, etc. be provided? Answer:2 These replicas must provide visible and audible representation of the weapon system. A better example is if the muzzle flash of the weapon system would be rearward, then we would want the simulator to represent that. Matching sound intensity/frequency/temperature is not vital, but it cant be a cap gun either. My goal is to make it pass as a Hollywood replica that closely matches the weapon system Question:3 Does the quote need to be broken down by CLIN, or is a lump-sum price for the total effort preferred? Answer:3 It is preferred that quotes be broken down by CLIN because some items may have longer lead times than others. Seperate CLINS allow for seperate deliveries and seperate invoices. Although quotes will not be evaluated on CLIN structure, itemized prices are expected.
