This requirement is mission critical, and is required to support existing and future Time Space Positioning Information (TSPI) post mission processing that is being executed at the 412th and 96th Test Wing and other organizations. This capability will support the new Common Range Integrated Instrumentation System (CRIIS) that is currently being integrated at both Edwards and Eglin AFB as well as a support legacy TSPI systems that are now being upgraded. The system will also support a wide-range of existing future sensors including inertial measurements units (IMU), global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers, ground optical and radar tracking systems. In addition, it supports incorporation of a statistical dead reckoning module designed to support various classes (and types) of vehicles. The models will be equipped with tuning parameters to allow the analyst to customize the performance to suit a range of vehicle types. 2. Requirement. This acquisition anticipates seeking a contractor who can provide service to support TDAS. 3. Information requested. The Government requests interested offerors that can fully support this requirement furnish the following information: - A.
