2. Summary and Background 30

2.1. Overview 31

The FMT-CC PL standardizes the Army’s vehicle maintenance trainers with a common 32 core architecture, software baseline, and common equipment. The FMT-CC DTT PL 33 effort established the CC architecture and baseline which will be used on all FMT PL 34 trainers (DTTs, HOTs, and PTTs). FMT-CC PL includes, but is not limited to the 35 Stryker, Abrams, AMPV, and Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) maintenance trainers. 36 37

Legacy Maintenance Trainers 38

This section describes the general system level architecture of legacy Army 39 maintenance training systems. Prototypes developed under this OTA shall satisfy the 40 requirements and provide the capabilities identified in the Technical Supplement (TS), 41 FMT-CC design documentation, and this RFS. 42 43

Page 2 of 23

Legacy maintenance trainers are comprised of three (3) distinct classes of devices: 44 DTTs, PTTs, and HOTs. These systems provide Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) 45 skill level development for system operation, fault diagnosis, troubleshooting, 46 adjustments, component removal/replacement, and other servicing and repair tasks for 47 the respective vehicles. Each of these variants, targets specific training goals but share 48 common training elements. The DTTs are computer based system simulations; no 49 actual physical vehicle hardware is employed. Navigation and interaction with the DTTs 50 is handled via keyboard, mouse, and touchscreen inputs. 51 52 The PTT and HOT trainers integrate virtual training with physical hardware. In the case 53 of the PTT, a specific subsystem, such as the brakes or engine, is targeted, and realistic 54 (fabricated or Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) components of that system are 55 instrumented to be an active part of the emulation. There are a few existing legacy 56 HOTs which are not instrumented, for example: the Bradley A2 HOT and the Abrams 57 SEP V2 HOT. The HOT expands upon the PTT concept. The hardware in a HOT is 58 part of a more completely integrated environment that may contain more than one 59 subsystem. The HOT is instrumented in the same manner as the PTT, with the 60 hardware interacting with the virtual software simulation. In all classes, the legacy 61 trainers are comprised of an Instructor Operators Station (IOS) and one or more student 62 workstations (SWS). In addition, a TMS provides record storage and classroom 63 management utilities. The IOS, SWSs, and TMS are connected by an Ethernet or 64 wireless network and high-speed switches. In the case of the PTTs and HOTs, the 65 SWSs are connected by hardware linkage to additional Input/Outputs (I/O) used to 66 instrument the physical representations of the specific device trainers. 67 68 The IOS controls the simulation state and the behavior of the simulation. The SWSs 69 run the actual models that provide the virtual trainer capabilities. The PTT IOS has a 70 similar software package as the DTT but the lessons are focused on interaction with 71 actual vehicle components or components that approximate the real vehicle with high 72 fidelity. 73 74 2.1.1.1. Software 75

Real-Time software includes the software models that simulate the vehicle systems and 76 the executive software which controls the iteration rate of the simulation and schedules 77 the models to run at the appropriate frequencies. The IOS software provides control of 78 the simulation, to include: freeze, lockstep, lesson plan control, and communication 79 control. The TMS software provides support for: classroom management functions, 80 student record archiving and lesson plan maintenance. The Display and Control 81 software is the interface between the student’s or instructor’s actions at a display and 82 the effect it has on the simulation. 83 84 In addition to the simulation software, a Software Support Environment (SSE) provides 85 the resources for performing post deployment software support activities, including 86 identifying, documenting, and correcting system software faults, implementing system 87 software upgrades, managing databases, and providing configuration management. 88 89

Common Software Baseline 90

Historically, although the current trainers have common classifications of software within 91 a variant (i.e., within vehicle types), there was no commonality between platforms (e.g. 92 Abrams, Stryker). Each variant’s software architecture and source code is unique and 93 stove-piped. The Army is in the process of establishing a FMT-CC software baseline to 94 replace the current stove-piped software architecture with a common product line 95 architecture which completely supports the entire FMT PL. This first effort established 96 the CC baseline using the DTT. The FMT-CC PL includes a set of plug-and-play 97 applications that are applicable across the FMT product portfolio of legacy and future 98 combat/tactical vehicle training systems without a loss of current functionality. The FMT 99 CC DTT design documentation is not complete but is expected to be mature at the time 100 of agreement award. This effort will utilize that CC baseline and ensure maintenance 101 lessons are incorporated into the AMPV PTT as part of the PL. 102 103 While the instantiation of the FMT-CC PL was started with the DTT development, in 104 support of the DoD objective to rapidly acquire quality products in an evolutionary 105 approach, further improvements to the CC PL are desired (including new technology 106 insertion) and should be proposed for the AMPV PTT. 107 108 The FMT-CC vehicle specific software, assets, digital information, and documentation 109 will reside on the Live Training Transformation (LT2) portal. The LT2 portal is an Army 110 repository for data and standards for the live training community created under the 111 Consolidated Product Line Management (CPM) Next contract. Information uploaded by 112 the vendor onto the LT2 portal may be available to other contractors/vendors on a need-113 to-know basis to perform work for the Army. The vendor shall provide a plan that 114 documents a path to conformance to the LT2 Product Line Operations and 115 Configuration Management (CM) Guide and existing FMT-CC documentation. The LT2 116 portal and guides are located at https://www.lt2portal.mil. A Common Access Card 117 (CAC) is required to access this portal. For potential vendors without CACs, the LT2 118 Product Line Operations and CM Guide is being provided as Government Furnished 119 Information (GFI). All software code developed with this effort and with the FMT-CC 120 DTT resides in the Independent Development Environment (IDE) portion of the LT2 121 portal. Access to the IDE requires a secret clearance. If a vendor does not have 122 someone with a secret clearance to access the portal, alternate methods can be made 123 by the Government. However, the vendor must include its need for alternate methods 124 of access within the solution. 125

Notional GFE list (Attachment # 9) with any changes, including additions/deletions and 398 include with its solution. The vendor will update the GFE list after award. The 399 Government will provide GFE for the prototype demonstration unit with a minimum of 90 400 days’ notice prior to need. 401 402 The prototype shall include all applicable draft safety and cybersecurity RMF controls 403 sufficiently documented to enable the Government to obtain a Safety Release, Health 404 Hazard Approval, and an Authority to Operate (ATO). 405 406 The FMT PL AMPV PTT prototype approach includes a single phase, with multiple 407 technical objectives, as well as potential follow-on production activities outlined in 408 Section 8: “Follow-on Production Activities.” The varying completion criteria established 409 for each technical objective may be considered a Decision Point (DP) for entry into 410 subsequent technical objectives and/or follow-on OT production efforts. Separate 411 pricing is required for each technical objective. The Government may, at its discretion, 412 use a DP to stop the effort if the vendor is unable to successfully perform. 413 414 To ensure FMT PL concurrency with fielded FMT PL products as well as concurrent 415 FMT PL efforts, Associate Vendor/Contractor Agreements (ACAs) will be required for all 416 FMT PL contractors, with the existing vendor for exchange of technical information. 417 418 The potential production PTTs will be installed at Ft. Benning, GA, Ft. Lee, VA, and 419 Camp Shelby, MS. The FMT PL existing common equipment may be located in a 420 different location within the same building or in other buildings. The PTTs must have 421 connectivity to the common equipment within the same building. The storage and 422 operational location may differ between locations. Therefore, the prototype design must 423 take into consideration the multiple locations. An initial site visit/survey to each fielding 424 location will be required during the prototype development to ensure the building 425 requirements are met for installation and operation of the trainers. The site visit/survey 426 will be properly documented within a Training Facilities Report (TFR). 427 428 For the potential production PTTs, Government facility space and facility power will be 429 provided by the Government. Any modifications required to the facility space, including 430 power and duct work, will be required to be identified in a TFR. Any reference, in this 431 RFS or supporting documentation, to network capabilities refers only to the networking 432 between or within the prototype training devices (for example: DTT to DTT, PTT to DTT, 433 PTT to PTT, PTT to HOT, etc.); the FMT PL prototype training devices DO NOT and 434 WILL NOT connect to the facility network or the internet. The Internet Protocol (IP) 435 addressing for the production PTTs will conform to the IP addressing plan in the FMT-436 CC Risk Management Framework (RMF). 437

6. Evaluation and Selection Process 660

6.1. Evaluation 661

The evaluation will consist of evaluation of the written solution response. If further 662 information is required after the completion of the evaluations of the written solution 663 responses, the Government may request presentations and/or demonstrations or enter 664 into communications with vendors. 665

The Government will evaluate the degree to which the submission provides a thorough, 666 flexible, and sound approach to fulfill the requirements. 667

In performing the initial review of the Technical Volume, the Government evaluators will 668 only review the enclosures and other proposal information if the response describes a 669 technical approach that the Government evaluators find sufficiently viable and effective 670 based on the Focus Areas described below. 671

If the other supporting documents are reviewed, the Government evaluators will 672 consider the extent to which the supporting documents are consistent with the 673 remaining technical response. If the supporting documents are not consistent, the 674 overall evaluation of the vendor’s solution may be negatively affected. 675

The Government recognizes the need for flexibility in its evaluation process. The 676 following represents the Government’s planned approach to evaluating submissions in 677 response to this RFS. 678

Written solution responses will be evaluated with consideration given to the vendor’s 679 ability to provide a clear description of the proposed solution, the overall technical merit 680 of the response and the total project risk with consideration aimed at the Technical and 681 Labor & Pricing Volumes, with respect to the Focus Areas referenced below and the 682 ability to fulfill the requirements in the Technical Supplement and FMT-CC design 683 documents identified in the Technical Attachments 1-9 and 11. The Government 684 evaluators will consider the written solution response when selecting the preferred 685 approach to achieving the Government’s objectives. 686

After the evaluation of written solution responses, it is anticipated that the Government 687 will begin Statement of Work (SOW) collaboration with the selected vendor. 688

The Technical and Labor & Pricing Volumes of the Written Solution Response will be 689 evaluated based upon the following focus areas. 690
