    Army awards key contracts to build virtual trainers

    By: Jen Judson WASHINGTON — The Army has awarded several key contracts to build virtual trainers, which make up a critical part of the service's developing Synthetic Training Environment (STE). Cole Engineering Services, Inc. (CESI) was selected from a pool of vendors with solutions for ground and air virtual trainers on June 28 to build a prototype of the Army's Synthetic Training Environment's Reconfigurable Virtual Collective Trainer (RVCT). The Army sifted through a total of 11 responses to a request for solutions issued in April — eight RVCT solutions that address aircraft, two that address ground platforms and one that covered both air and ground capability in a comprehensive solution. “As a result of a multi-stage competition, the comprehensive solution, provided by Cole Engineering Services Inc., was selected as the winning vendor providing best value to the government,” a June 28 statement sent to Defense News from Army Contracting Command- Orlando said. The total value of the prototype project, if all phases and options are exercised, is $81.4 million. The Army also awarded a $95 million contract June 19 to VT MAK, a subsidiary of Singapore company ST Engineering in the United States, to deliver both Training Simulation Software (TSS) and a Training Management Tool (TMT) — two essential elements that, when combined with One World Terrain, form the STE's Common Synthetic Environment (CSE). The CSE enables the RVCT, the Soldier Squad Virtual Trainer and the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS). The awards mark big progress in developing the STE — essentially a virtual world in which to train soldiers for war and aims to move the service away from its stove-piped training systems from the ‘80s and ‘90s. The new system will allow soldiers to train collectively — which is critical to preparing for multidomain operations across air, ground, sea, cyber and space — with greater fidelity. The STE will ultimately also be used as a mission planning tool. The idea is to be able to click on any place on a virtual globe and go there. Soldiers can then train virtually in an exact environment in which they can expect to operate in reality. The STE was prioritized through the establishment of Army Futures Command and has its own cross-functional team led by Maj. Gen. Maria Gervais to push efforts forward quickly. Prior to the standing up of the new four-star command aimed at rapidly building and procuring more modern equipment, the STE wasn't going to be ready until 2030. Now that timeline has been shrunk through new approaches in development and acquisition. The contracts awarded this month, for example, are Prototype Other Transaction Agreements under the Training and Readiness Accelerator (TReX), which allowed the service to move more quickly through a competitive process. The plan moving forward for the RVCT is “upon successful completion of this prototype effort,” the Army would award a follow-on production contract “without the use of competitive procedures,” according to the ACC-Orlando-issued statement. But if the vendor fails to “demonstrate progress” or “be unsuccessful in the accomplishment of the goals of this prototyping effort,” the Army “reserves the right to return to the results of this competition and award additional Other Transaction Agreements to one or more of the vendors that responded to the initial Request for Solutions, as appropriate within the scope and evaluated results of the competition,” the statement notes. Should the vendor move forward, a follow-on effort could include continued development, further scaling of the solution and integration of future capabilities. The Army estimates the fielding quantity for the prototype would be 210 (or greater) RVCT-Air trainers and 656 ground versions “at various locations for Full Operational Capability,” according to the statement. https://www.defensenews.com/land/2019/06/28/army-awards-key-contracts-to-build-virtual-trainers/

  • Huntington Ingalls wins $175 million Navy contract for aircraft carrier maintenance work

    Huntington Ingalls wins $175 million Navy contract for aircraft carrier maintenance work

    By DAVE RESS Huntington Ingalls Industries will provide maintenance, training and planning support for aircraft carriers over the next five years under a new contract worth up to $175 million. The contract covers engineering services, maintenance and operator training as well as technical and repair services. The focus is on continuing maintenance of the carriers' shipboard elevators and cargo-handling equipment, as well as on planning for the overhaul, modernization and repair of these systems. The work, contracted by Naval Sea Systems Command, will be performed onboard U.S. naval aircraft carriers in Norfolk, San Diego, Washington State and Japan. The elevators on the new USS Gerald R. Ford-class carriers built at HII's Newport News Shipbuilding yard represent a major redesign, using electric motor systems to replace hydraulic mechanisms that can leak flammable fluids in areas where bombs and other munitions are prepared. Last year, a team of Newport News Shipbuilding engineers and shipbuilders worked up a new design for the rails on which Ford-class carrier weapons elevators travel. The adjustable bedplate, deemed a “total rethinking of the entire stator installation process,” turned a 56-step installation process into a 16-step effort, eliminating 95% of the welding and 50% of the rigging. That simplifies the work of aligning the rails -- a task which much meet tolerances of a sixteenth of an inch or less over distances equivalent to several stories of a building. Those alignments are a key issue for certifying the 11 elevators on the Ford, work set for completion this spring. Separately, the Military Sealift Command awarded East Coast Repair and Fabrication a $12.1 million contract for repairs and maintenace work on the USNS Kanawaha to be done at East Coast's new Newport News facility. Kanawaha is a fleet oiler, designed to supply fuel to Navy ships at sea. It has been in service since 1991 and is assigned to the Atlantic Fleet. The work includes some structural and electrical work, and the contract includes options which if exercised would increase its value to $13.6 million. The work is expected to be completed by April 19.

    Air Force to fall nearly 150 pilots short of annual training goal

    The shortfall makes it more difficult for the service to fill a pilot shortage of around 2,000 people that has persisted for years.
