--Industry Day for Weapons-Based Simulation Training Systems, Florida National Guard (FLNG)

The FLNG is inviting Industry to an Industry Day in an effort for the FLNG to determine if there are current capabilities within the Simulation Industry to meet training objectives and the mission of the FLNG. The FLNG ultimately wishes to procure simulation systems that will provide units the ability to train on warrior tasks and battle drills that support: (1) Offensive operations with squad interoperability. (2) Command and control for Squad, Platoon, and Company operations. (3) Scenarios which match the current theaters of operations. (4) Mounted and dismounted operations. (5) Current and Future Command & Control (C2) systems. (6) Call-for-Fire and Close Air Support.
