NOTE: To satisfy this requirements Offerors' proposal must meet the follow special requirements: The Air Force Safety Center's Mishap Analysis & Animation Facility (MAAF) and Military Flight Operations Quality Assurance (MFOQA) programs currently use CAE Flightscape's Insight software products to retrieve, analyze and animate recorded aircraft flight data. Current software in use is as follows: MFOQA: Five (5) copies of Insight|Animation MAAF: Three (3) copies of Insight|Analysis Three (3) copies of Insight|Animation One (1) copy of Insight|Recovery MAAF and MFOQA require continued technical support and software updates to these currently-installed Insight products. Any alternative product must provide capabilities such as, but not limited to, the following: 1. Ability to read-out, interpret and perform bit editing on data from tape-based civil flight data recorders (FDR) (e.g. Lockheed LAS209, Fairchild F800, Sundstrand UFDR and DFDR). 2. Ability to decompress and interpret data from solid-state civil FDRs (e.g. Fairchild F1000 and FA2100, Honeywell Solid-State Flight Data Recorder (SSFDR)). 3. Ability to decompress and interpret data from solid-state military FDRs such as the GE Aviation Crash-Survivable Flight Data Recorder (CSFDR) and Standard Flight Data Recorder (SFDR) installed on USAF F-16, F-15, C-17 and T-1 aircraft. 4. Ability to produce multi-parameter plots and tabular listings using data from FDRs listed in items 1 through 3 above. Scales for time and each individual parameter must be user-configurable. 5. Ability to produce animated depictions of aircraft flight paths using tabular listings of time-history data, whether from an FDR or elsewhere (e.g. telemetry, radar, etc.). The MAAF has developed a fairly large collection of aircraft and instrument models produced for use in the Insight product. Alternative product must use these models or provide suitable substitutes at no additional cost to the government. 6. Ability to read mishap investigation project files stored in Insight (and its predecessor RAPS) format for legacy mishap investigations and MFOQA animations dating back over 15 years. 7. Training in the use of the alternate software at no additional cost to the government. OFFERORS: RESPOND TO ENTIRE REQUEST; IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION USED TO EVALUATE QUOTES.
