Underwater Egress Trainer

The Program Management Office for Training Systems (PM TRASYS) is seeking potential Offerors to fulfill a requirement to provide uninterrupted Instructor/operator/maintainer support for the operation of four (4) UET trainers. The Underwater Egress Trainer (UET) systems are a collection of mature technology training devices that provide emergency egress training techniques and procedures to passengers of aircraft, wheeled, and tracked vehicles from submerged water conditions. UET includes MAET, SVET, and SWET training devices. The Modular Amphibious Egress Trainer (MAET) is a simulated generic fuselage section representing specific aircraft, cockpit and cabin emergency escape exits. The Submerged Vehicle Egress Trainer (SVET) is a ground vehicle simulation of the High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) and a generic amphibious track platform. The mission of the UET is to enhance passenger survivability, regardless of platform or the causal factors that result in a rollover or submersion incident. The UET will provide a coordinated physical environment in which the knowledge based instruction that is taught in the classroom can be applied and practiced. This includes training first with the Shallow Water Egress Trainer (SWET) chairs as well as familiarization and operation of the Intermediate Passenger Helicopter Air Breathing Device (IPHABD). This contract will include training, operations, and maintenance of the systems at 4 sites: Camp Pendleton, CA; Camp Lejeune, NC; MCB Hawaii, and MCB Okinawa.
