Description

The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD), Procurement Department, at Orlando, FL, announces its intention to procure for the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIRSYSCOM), PMA205, the Aviation Distributed Virtual Training Environment (ADVTE) III which is the United States Marine Corps (USMC) ADVTE and Tactical Environment (Ten) Subsystem combined requirement; henceforth known as ADVTE III. ADVTE is the Marine Corps Aviation s currently implemented solution that provides integrated and networked training. ADVTE, as a persistent and integrated system-of-systems solution, currently has the capability to network various Type/Model/Series (T/M/S) Marine Corps Aviation Training System (MC ATS) training devices located across First (1D), Second (2D), Third (3D), and Fourth (4D) Marine Aircraft Wing (MAW) locations for the purposes of conducting multi-site, multi T/M/S simulated networked training missions to maintain proficiency and enhance aircrew readiness. The USMC TEn is a key software and hardware subsystem that is currently installed in nearly every USMC Aviation Training System. The USMC TEn is the current Marine Aviation s Semi-Automated Force (SAF) / Computer Generated Forces (SAF/CGF) solution and also provides the High Level Architecture interface enabling MC ATS training devices to link with other trainers for distributed mission training. The government is open to a different SAF/CGF solution for providing this capability to meet the needs of the USMC distributed and stand-alone training requirements. The current ADVTE baseline serves and provides the capability to connect multiple MC ATS training devices together at the following locations: Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Camp Pendleton, CA; MCAS Miramar, CA; MCAS Yuma, AZ; Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) Twentynine Palms, CA; Marine Corps Base (MCB) Camp Lejeune, NC; MCAS Cherry Point, NC; MCAS New River, NC; MCAS Beaufort, SC; MCAS Futenma, Japan; MCAS Kaneohe Bay, HI; and Joint Reserve Base (JRB) Fort Worth, TX. By Light Professional IT Services (formerly known as Veraxx Engineering Corp) delivered the current ADVTE and current Tactical Environment (TEn) baselines. ADVTE in its current configuration was procured under multiple Delivery Orders under a single awardee indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract (N61340-22-D0002) that was competitively awarded. The current, as delivered ADVTE configuration is anticipated to be completed no later than FY2028. The Tactical Environment configuration and software baseline was procured under a Sole Source IDIQ contract (N61340-22-D0009) that was awarded to By Light Professional IT Services. By Light IT Services was the only company with the highly specialized knowledge and experience with the current TEn software code, and who could modify it without unacceptable delay in meeting the Government s requirement to provide full-scale integration into USMC trainers and ADVTE infrastructure at the time this IDIQ Contract was awarded. The current TEn hardware baseline is anticipated to be completed no later than FY2028. The current TEn subsystem is integrated into multiple training devices at the following locations: MCAS Camp Pendleton, CA, MCAS Miramar, CA; MCAS Yuma, AZ; MCAS Cherry Point, NC; MCAS New River, NC: MCAS Futenma, Japan; and MCAS Kaneohe Bay, HI. In addition, there are Distributed Interactive Simulation Bridges and Navy Aviation Simulation Master Plan (NASMP) bridges used to connect training devices that do not have a TEn subsystem installed to perform distributed training. ADVTE III periodically is in need of technical upgrades due to obsolescence issues with earlier fielded locations and the TEn software will require updates for functionality improvements such as adding new entities, weapons, players, graphical user interface updates, and sensors. The anticipated contract action for ADVTE III described herein includes: 1) the technological upgrade of the currently fielded ADVTE equipment to include the TEn Software and hardware baseline or different SAF/CGF solution. Overall, this effort is considered to be a comprehensive update to continue to modernize existing equipment and update the TEn software baseline or other SAF/CGF solution as required for new capabilities and functionality. If a different SAF/CGF solution is planned to be proposed to meet the requirements in this effort, this solution is required to be non-proprietary and have government purpose rights. The necessary Government Furnished Information (GFI) will be provided to potential offerors in order to be able to bid (to include the TEn executable software code). Components of ADVTE III include: MC ATS training devices. Fielded MC ATS training devices located at USMC Marine Aviation Training System Sites that connect, or are planned to be connected into ADVTE that utilize the USMC Tactical Environment (TEn) as the interoperability solution. USMC Tactical Environment (TEn) and bridges. The USMC TEn is a key software and hardware subsystem that is installed in nearly every USMC Aviation Training System. The USMC TEn is Marine Aviation s required Semi-Automated Force (SAF) / Computer Generated Forces (SAF/CGF) solution and also provides the High-Level Architecture interface enabling MC ATS training devices to link with other trainers for distributed mission training. This subsystem facilitates stand-alone (independent) and networked modes of trainer operation with other training systems across the USMC ADVTE. The ADVTE Navy Aviation Simulation Master Plan (NASMP) bridge is used to connect the F-18 MC ATS training devices to other MC ATS training devices that have a TEn subsystem integrated into them. The ADVTE Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) bridges are used to connect MC ATS training devices to other training devices that use DIS for distributed training. Network Exercise Control Centers (NECC). Each NECC is a centralized point of connection, control, and coordination for all USMC ATS devices located at each site. The NECCs support training federations operating simultaneously, and digital recording of missions for playback from selectable audio and video channels to support Joint Brief/De-Brief requirements. They also provide instructor/operator, observer stations, and TEn functionality; 2D/3D visualization from any geographic location or tactical environment entity; simulated tactical radios with the ability to connect to all MC ATS training devices when connected to ADVTE; and (IP-based) Secure Video Teleconferencing (VTC). Each NECC is capable to connect to all other NECCs. NECCs are currently installed at MCAS Camp Pendleton, CA; MCAS Miramar, CA; MCAS Yuma, AZ; MCAS New River, NC; MCAS Futenma, Japan; MCAS Kaneohe Bay, HI. Each NECC is configured per individual site requirements. ADVTE Point of Presence connections. ADVTE Point of Presence connections consists of ADVTE equipment to support distributed mission training are located at the MCB Camp Lejeune, NC; MCAS Beaufort, SC; MCAS Cherry Point, NC; BSC Camp Pendleton, CA; JRB Fort Worth, TX; and Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) Twenty-nine Palms, CA. Each site s point of presence is configured per the individual site requirements. Common Virtual Training Area (CVTA). CVTA is a MC ATS term and is anticipated to be analogous to a common synthetic visual data base area (or areas). It is anticipated that the CVTA will be implemented to minimize MC ATS training device visual system correlation issues under this contract action. There are three CVTA databases that are planned to be delivered by FY2026 for Yuma, AZ; Darwin, Australia; and Luzon, Philippines. These areas will have been implemented/integrated into the USMC ATS training devices that operate across ADVTE. Additional areas may be procured under this contract action and implementation of these additional areas may drive additional updates to fielded MC ATS training devices, which are anticipated to be accomplished under this contract action. The CVTA will not replace existing visual sensor databases installed in MC ATS training devices. It is anticipated that all activities necessary to implement any new CVTA databases into MC ATS training devices will be performed under this requirement. ADVTE III associated Equipment and materials include: ADVTE: This equipment includes encryptors, routers, fiber or other appropriate medium for data transport, and all other equipment and materials needed to protect and facilitate secure transmission/transport data from each ATS training device to the NECC and protect and facilitate secure transmission/transport data from each NECC and point of presence to the corresponding base/activity demarcation point. Tactical Environment and Bridges: This equipment includes the updated hardware and associated Operating System (OS) to properly run the Tactical Environment (TEn) and associated software components for either this subsystem or the other…
