This RFI was orginally posted on 6 December 2022 and closed on 6 January 2023. The Government has chosen to extend this until 27 January 2023 The attached PDF is a DRAFT of the Perfomrance Work Statement (PWS) for this proposed effort. The Goverment is would like to gather industry feedback on what is laid out in the DRAFT PWS. This effort is to provide technical services for: Immersive Ground Vehicle Simulation development, integration, and execution; Ride Motion Simulation (RMS) and Crew Station/Turret Motion Based Simulation CS/TMBS); Crew Station development and integration. GVSC-Immersive Simulation’s GVSL is a world-class facility that develops and applies physics-based simulations, simulators, Crew Station design and virtual simulation in support of Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) Life Cycle Management Command (LCMC) military vehicle research, development, acquisition, and life cycle management missions. The GVSL’s computer-based models are capable of predicting many measures of vehicle dynamic and structural integrity performance. The GVSL’s unique motion-based simulators are used to place users, vehicle subsystems, and full vehicles in a variety of dynamic environments which accurately reproduce motion disturbances experienced during proving ground tests or field operations. The types of engineering and technical services to be provided by the contractor are: systems integration, technology assessment, GVSL assessment, experiment support, technician support, simulation tuning, dynamic vehicle model development, visual vehicle model development, hardware in the loop simulation, user in the loop simulation, interoperation, verification and validation services, configuration management, system administration, reproduce visualization environments, Crew Station development, input device trades, human monitoring, assessment technology exploration and support databases. The modeling and simulation technology developed in the planned effort is intended to build upon the infrastructure currently existing in the GVSL to conduct Virtual Experimentation simulations. This technology will advance the Army’s ability to evaluate concept and existing vehicle systems with regard to mobility, durability, and operations on the move. The technologies developed must be able to execute in real-time and must be physics based. The GVSL has developed a baseline capability for Virtual Experimentation simulation with existing motion base simulators, image generators, realtime dynamics models and a simulation software framework which serves as the foundation for these technologies.
