RWP - Advanced Navigation Simulation Environment Laboratory (ANSEL)

The Advanced Navigation Simulation Environment Laboratory (ANSEL) project is a solicitation for the design, procurement, and delivery of a state-of-the-art simulation system to modernize Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) and Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR) capabilities at the Holloman AFB PNT Simulation Laboratory. Issued under 10 U.S.C. Section 4022 Other Transaction Authority (OTA), the effort focuses on establishing a rigorous verification and validation (V&V) and cyber direct-inject test capability. The system must support extreme dynamic conditions, including 6-DoF trajectory models with speeds up to Mach 20, 50g acceleration, and 200 g/s jerk, while providing phase-coherent, multi-channel RF simulation for mGNSS, alternative RF (XONA/STL), and jamming or spoofing environments. The acquisition is structured around eight milestones, with Base Milestones 1, 2, and 4 requiring Firm-Fixed Pricing and the remaining milestones utilizing Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimates. Key deliverables include a fully integrated Operational Utility Prototype housed in 19-inch racks, comprehensive design documentation, and all technical data delivered with Unlimited Data Rights. Evaluation is a three-step process focusing on compliance, technical capability—specifically in RF phase calibration and signal integrity—and cost realism. Applicants must provide CMMC Level 2 self-certification and adhere to strict Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) management protocols. Submissions are due by November 12, 2026, via SAM.gov.
