This is a Sources Sought synopsis for informational and planning purposes only . It is not a request for proposal ( RFP ) or a solicitation for offers . No award will result in this post . DAFI 36 - 2646 identifies a requirement for a virtual weapon simulator as a basic delivery method for Security Forces Training . Enables realistic , interactive weapons training to improve marksmanship skills . Enables Congressionally mandated Shoot / No Shoot training in a safe environment . Provides opportunity for additional / remedial firing classes while saving Air Force resources like live ammunition and range maintenance . DAFI 36 - 2646 3 . 13 . 4 . 2 . Weapons Simulator . A training device that permits development and practice of the necessary skills for accomplishing operational tasks , to a prescribed standard of competency , in a specific prime mission system and duty position . Weapons training simulators are required to create use of force engagement scenarios that allows Defenders to train to defend the installation from all levels of threat . The simulator allows all Airmen to improve tactical weapons employment with all the weapons that are assigned to the unit ' s mission . Furthermore , all Airmen that conduct marksmanship training can use this tool to enhance their ability to be successful on the live fire range . The weapons simulator is a great refresher tool that improves muscle memory for Airmen that fire less frequently . The space needed is dependent on the system and weapons employed for the designated mission requirement . Data Sheet is located in Attachment 3 . The virtual weapon simulator would require software and hardware components that include mixed reality combat simulator , AI - Powered after - action review , smart AI enemies through simulation , head mounted displays , weapon sensors , weapon simulators with recoil , KWA LM4 weapon , including KWA LM4 weapon magazines , command terminal laptop , WiFi enabled , feedback suits , and the system must include a warranty . System would be required to allow 4 individuals ( the size of a fire team ) to work simultaneously , or be able to be used by one person ( for training purposes ). Haptic Feedback suits are also a requirement , as current systems do not give any indication of being struck by enemy fire . The suits would allow for trainees to feel if they have been struck by enemy fire , giving immediate response and demand a reaction , enhancing their training experience . Having a system that scans the real - life environment is required , as this would allow for the system to be used in numerous different buildings , allowing for diversity in the training environment which would increase the effectiveness in training and allow for trainees to be used to different environments , directly contributing to real - life . 3 .
