The Contractor shall be responsible for installing all identified equipment, including items owned by the DAF. The Contractor shall design the screen to operate with the SIL’s current image generator, shall make use of DAF-furnished projectors, and shall design the screen to fit within the SIL’s physical parameters. The Contractor shall implement an automated Shutter Control system and associated blinders for blending light sources. The Contractor shall buy upgrades to Scalable Display Manager software licenses, which will be installed by Government Personal on the current image generator. All software must be compatible with the image generator. This includes any software required for operation of distance and angle measurement equipment. The Contractor shall assist Government personal in setting up the software and hardware to perform warping and blending of images to create a continuous view. The Contractor shall be responsible for performing preparations for installation, which includes taking measurements, prototyping, delivering hardware, providing documentation to aid in security approvals, and developing the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS). The Contractor shall use commercial parts and materials and shall use commercially available-off-the-shelf (COTS) parts and material to the maximum extent practicable.
