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. This requirement is for a multi-lane firing simulator that can accurately simulate realistic weapon recoil, engage targets at multiple distances, and utilize spotters for specific engagements. The required weapon systems are M4 and M18. The performance levels/specifications may be identified as targets rather than fixed or minimum requirements. The aim is to ensure the requirements align with industry standard practices while be realistic and definable. The simulator should include an accurate ballistics engine, the ability to conduct mission rehearsal, replicate multi-range engagements in a classroom setting without live fire, and network multiple weapon and optic platforms together with the same scenario for collective training.
